Box, Manual, Cart & Other Goodies

Ah, how I miss physical media! This is a scan of my own GoldenEye 007 box. I know there's also a variant of this box that says "1997-1998 Game of the Year" on the front, but I haven't been able to find one in good condition yet.

You can tell the screenshots on the back are from a significantly earlier version of the game. The KF7 uses the old model, blood is more visible, and the Silo elevator is still there, among a number of other differences.

Many thanks to my Danish friend Haj who sent me these beautiful scans of his GoldenEye 007 box! This particular one has a sticker on the front with a phone number for the Danish Nintendo Club.

This is a scan of my Japanese GoldenEye 007 box. The first thing I notice about this box is the front has a portrait orientation while the US and PAL versions have landscape oritentations. The screenshots on the back use the final KF7 model, meaning they must have been taken from a later version of the game than the shots used on the other boxes.

I do not speak any Japanese so I used Google Gemini to translate the blurbs on the box. If you do speak Japanese let me know how accurate this translation is.

Front of the box:

(Text on blue/green background) It'll make you shiver with the Rumble Pack!

Back of the box:
