* = Zircon releases
*1 = This one is definitely chess, NOT checkers. On the side where the small label is,
the cartridge has a red LED that lights when the computer is thinking about his next
move. On the circuit board (filling the entire cartridge) it says:
"Fairchild Memory Systems (c) 1979". So we might have a European- (Germany-) only
release here?

4b. Box/Cartridge variations

I used to be a heavy variation collector, and although I don't collect them anymore, I
thought there might be some people out there who do. So, what I'm going to do is list
all the boxes I have (or have had), and you can check yours to make sure they match.
Here's the key:

Box types:
R = Standard rainbow (From the box end, Blue, Green, Yellow and Red)
RF = Standard rainbow with a big F instead of the "Fairchild" logo
BR = Standard rainbow with a black stripe added before the blue stripe
BRF = Standard rainbow with a black stripe added before the blue stripe, and a big F
instead of the "Fairchild" logo (I haven't found one of these, but figure they probably
exist, so I'd throw it in)
NR = No Rainbow
W = White box (Zircon released all the white boxes)
Zircon = Zircon version of the game. Most Zircon versions have a sticker on the back
of the cartridge, whereas the Fairchild carts don't.
