Looks like "Mario's Brewery" for the C64. I found a copy at a thrift store once and sold it with the rest of my 64 games. They look homemade. I didn't even think they would have boxes. "Two players only"??? Are they keyboard or paddle controlled? Didn't the single game port really make 2 player games a rarity?
Thanks, I've been waiting a long time to see some good quality pictures of OEM boxes. Now only missing a look at the Mario's Brewery game and Frog Man.
These games are indeed some of the rarer VIC-20 ones and most still need to be archived and multi-cart'ed (I think Space Ric-O-Shay and Tank War already have been).

I already told Stonan that "Close Encounters.." is listed as a 0 (not verified) in Digital Press' rarity guide. Mayhem will be pleased to see that it indeed exists. We'll work out the archiving aspect.
As for two players only, OEM apparently designed a secondary joystick interface too. Me and Stonan found the empty box (in very good condition) but not the actual interface. It is a shame. I suppose it would plug into the user port. Perhaps these games support a such interface.

can't find much information about them
Close Encounters is not present in Mega-Cart since the file image is missing, Tank Wars is present. Close Encounters it's very rare and will be a great Mega-Cart addition.Centallica wrote:I think the close encounters would be best viewed on the Mega Cart to preserve it's history

True... the boxes for OEM releases are "generic" and just have a sticker on the front indicating C64 or Vic20 version. As I've had a complete Close Encounters (for C64) for a long time, I found out because it mentioned the adapter on the back with the instructions. Not seen one yet though. Would be interested in seeing a pic of the box however...
