Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Cartridges

There is a distinct difference in the red labels. Below we are showing you that the first version has a thick *, which the arrows are pointing to. The second version has a faint, thin *. So far, the snap cart has the thick * and the screw cart has the thin one, but it's possible there are more variations.
