A friend of mine gave me a couple of N-64 games. He asked me if I had "this 007 game" and pulled out The World is Not Enough. He told me he had never played it. I didn't pay very much attention to it at the time. I realized later that this copy of TWINE was GREY! I always thought they were all blue. What the heck?

I don't quite understand by what you say 'this copy of TWINE was GREY!'?

All of my cartridges are grey.

[Gri007]

Must be the box then. I did have an N64. But it was a long time ago. I also had TWINE, but can't exactly remember the color of the box. All I know it had images of the film poster on it.

[Righty007]

Jaws0178 is not talking about the The World Is Not Enough box but the cartridge. Nobody ever kept those boxes because they were cheap cardboard.

This is what Jaws0178 has:



I don't think it's rare because I found that image on Google. I never knew it came in that color, I always thought every cartridge was blue:

Great find there Righty007

Now, what we need to know if there are extra features or simply different publishing editions...

I've still got all my N64 carboard boxes.

My TWINE cartridge was grey. I always thought all N764 cartridges (except for the yellow Donkey Kong 64) were grey. Interesting.

[Janus Assassin]

Mine is blue

[Jaws0178]

So is mine. Thats why I was asking. I played it. It appears about the same as my blue. I was just slightly confused. Thanks!

Zelda was gold (as always) and a couple others were black (Turok 2, I think). I recall TWINE being blue.

[Double-Oh-Zero]

Mine's blue. Do I win a free Mars bar?

Regardless of the cartridge colour, GoldenEye is still better.

I still have mine too but I have a mild case of OCD so I didn't think many other people kept theirs.

The World Is Not Enough = Blue
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask = Gold
Donkey Kong 64 = Yellow
Pokemon Stadium 2 = Gold/Silver

You know how magazines publish issues with multiple covers? I think this is the case for this game. Some people got a blue cartridge and some got a gray one. Both of them are the same value but one may be less common than the other.

All mine were grey as well. I can remember them having a Goldeneye N64 limited edition gold cartridge.

[Jaws0178]

Wow! They had a gold GOldeneye cart.

Coolies.

Different countries of release - different colors?

I agree. But there were some things I liked about TWINE better. Such as the actual dialogue. But like GE, there could have been more missions. I liked the weapon detail better and some levels I always enjoy playing such as the skiing mission because it feels like I can re enact previous Bond missions in which he skied as well.

Sums it up pretty nicely OO0.

No, it was probably a limited edition deal. Grey is perhaps cheaper since it is the standard default color. I suspect anyway. Turok 2 was like that. Initial sales of the game were black, it was later grey. I think Zelda OoT/Majora's Mask (gold) and Donkey Kong 64 (yellow) did that too.

[Monsieur B]

Yeah, sometimes when games are first released, the cartridges of the first so many copies are sometimes a colour other than grey. The Zelda games (awesome games ) were gold (Majora's Mask with the hologram staicker), TWINE was blue, Pokemon Stadium/Colusseum (G/S), DK was yellow. It's only a temporary thing, sort of a crappy added "incentive".

"Be one of the first to buy this game and get the cartridge in a colour OTHER THAN grey! Say what?! A colour other than grey, you say? Are you mad? Surely, you must be! Other than grey, get out of town."

Don't really see the point of that. Who cares what color the cartridge is?

[Jaws0178]

No one does, QWERTY. I was just curious. Did not know they did multiple colors of TWINE. Always thought it was only blue. Was proven wrong. Am going to a corner to cry or get even Nah, probably cry. C`Ya!

The same thing happened to me when I got Tomorrow Never Dies.

When I rented it, the disc label was red with the actual colored logo. But when I bought it, the entire disc label and the logo were silver.

If I told you there was a SilverFin with a grey dust-jacket instead of blue, would you care? I bet you would.

That comment of mine was definitely not directed at any comment by you Todd, but just a general statement of mine. Hope it did not appear otherwise.

Of course.

[commanderblond]

Speaking for myself, both GoldenEye and TWINE came on grey carts. But did anyone ever have a copy of that rare beast, a decent version of 007 Racing?
