Revision as of 03:27, December 9, 2019
Nintendo Game Packs are licensed packs of collectible cards that were released by Topps in 1989. Each unopened pack has three scratch-off cards and two tip cards, which are packaged inside wax paper. The packaging depicted either Mario, Princess Toadstool, or Link. The entire set of Nintendo Game Pack cards consists of 60 scratch-off game cards and 33 tip cards. The scratch-off games are based on either of the six Nintendo Entertainment System games: Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2, The Legend of Zelda, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, Punch-Out!!, and Double Dragon.
There are ten scratch-off game cards per game, 20 of which pertain to either of the first two Super Mario Bros. games. Each card shows artwork based on a scene from the game and circles that can be scratched. Instructions are on the other side of the card.
Each tip card has one gameplay tip for a Nintendo Entertainment System game. One or a few stickers are on the other side of each card. Like the scratch-off game cards, the stickers also pertain to one of the six Nintendo Entertainment System games.
