Other North American TV series based games, such as the Sesame street series and Gilligan's Island, were not even published outside of North America. Airwolf, another North American TV series that enjoyed international success, was also published first in Japan. The UPC code is said to be 0-21481-10302-8 by some sources. But 3-61622-01111-0 is used most often. As Acclaim prints its barcodes on the side of its packages, it is not often seen in online scans of their game boxes. Both codes may be valid, but I have not visually confirmed either of them. Also, I could not locate the Korean and European product barcodes; one of the above codes may be from a European version. | labelimagesubject |

| Dick Tracy | Bandai (Realtime Associates) | 1990 | Ace detective Dick Tracy pored over the crime files and mug shots that littered the desk in his dimly lit office down at police headquarters. "This crime wave has to be the work of Big Boy Caprice," he thought to himself. "I can smell his greasy handiwork behind each of these cases. But, I need to get some hard evidence on him. If only I can nab some of his hoods - Itchy, Flattop and the rest. I'd rearrange their thinking and have them singing like that nightclub temptress, Breathless Mahoney. Then I could put Caprice behind bars for good." Suddenly, Tracy's two-way wrist radio seized the detective's attention... "Calling Dick Tracy, calling Dick Tracy." He sprang to his feet and burst into the squad room shouting "O.K., boys, let's go. This could be our big break!" | labelimagesubject |

| Race America | Milton Bradley;Absolute Entertainment (Imagineering) | 1992 | UPC 0-18706-20893-4 is used extensively in relationship to the North American version this game and apparently no other products and is a valid code. However, all North American packages I've seen use 0-99451-72206-7***Corvette ZR-1 Challenge by Milton Bradley in 1991 NES-RB-US Race America by Absolute Entertainment, Inc. in 1992-05 A unique take for 8-bit racing. The view switches based on context. Players are put on the starting line in 3Dish side view. This is a drag race, there's potholes to avoid, the winner gets a bonus. After the dash from the standing start, they cars keep rolling and the view switches to third-person split screen. But, the upper split view takes a major portion of the screen. The big view, is for the leading character. The lower split view is for 2nd place. It is very small but other wise an identical camera to the larger view. Red's (Player 1) small view is attached to the left side of the screen while Blue's view is attached to the right. When Red and Blue are close to each other, the view switches again to overhead and they battle for the bigger 3rd person screen. Races for both versions are City-to-city open road courses in North America and bystanders will have to be dodged. The cities are Boston, New York, Washington D.C., Cincinnati, Detroit, Chicago, Kansas City, Dallas, Denver, and Los Angeles. Each segment of the race ends at one of these cities (except Boston, where the race begins). There are turns and hills. Gas cans on the road need to be picked up, go slower than 100 MPH and run over it. A full tank lasts about 300 miles but varies slightly with fuel efficiency that depends on how the car is driven and the various hills and turns. All the drivers have identical cars but the AI is different. AJ Turbo is the hardest to beat. Depending on what version you play, you'll be racing Corvettes (European version), Dodge Vipers (North America), or generic vehicles with made-up model numbers that strongly resemble the Corvette or Viper and have identical specs of said vehicles.
