Not a cartridge but the memory card that was included with Pokemon Box is dual Ruby and Sapphire colored. Otherwise I can't think of anything else OP

The Japanese Gold and Silver carts are two toned, but for some reason they went with like a Navy Blue and Gray instead of the obvious.
>>
>>11056383
Damn, one of the rare instances the US carts obliterate the Japanese ones aesthetically.
>>
>>11056150

>>11056150
Both Zelda games are Gold Cart in their first printing, Half Gold (like stadium 2) in their second printing, and Grey in all subsequent printings.

>>11056594
lots of snes/sfc games do this, the way sfc games turn brown is pretty funny.
>>
>>11056618
Never happened to me, but I've seen Playstations, Dreamcast and white Saturns also turns yellow, must be something about clear plastic + smoking or some other condition combination.
BTW the Stadium 2 cart isn't just grey and yellow, its goldish and silverish and has some sparkly effect to them
>>
>>11056635
>Never happened to me
I have access to lots of sfc games, the two tone yellowing is very common. I wish we had the truth for why this happens, but uneven yellowing even happens on the different pieces of American NES consoles.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 was monoyellow
007 World is Not Enough was monoblue
Zelda OOT was monogold
some game I don't remember was monoblack

Stadium 2 was the only one with a normal back half and a colored front I think
>>
>>11056992
>>11056664
Forgot Battletanx GA was monogreen
and Sarge's Heroes 2 was monogreen
The black cartridge might have been Tony Hawk's Proskater 3
>>
>>11056653
I don't have that many, but I've got a few over the years, none of them changed colors, so far. I wouldn't mind though, as long as they still work, but I just never saw anything like >>11056594
>>
>>11056992
>Stadium 2 was the only one with a normal back half and a colored front I think
It's not really normal back half, it has a shiny glitter effect to it. Hard to capture it with a photo, but top is Stadium 2, bottom is a regular cart
>>
>>11057031
Same with the front. It's different from say the golden Majora cart, Stadium 2's front plastic also has the glitter effect
>>
>>11056195
I have the box and manual, but sold the cart long ago. I was half smart as I kept the box and manual, just need to get the game to sell it for more

my worms armageddon cartridge look like this
>>
>>11057034
Pretty sure its the same material used for the Gameboy US carts for each respective version..
>>
>>11056618
Nah, brah. To get that effect you need to remove the back and hang it on the wall in a cigar bar for >9k years. Trust me. My uncle works for nicotine.

>I wish we had the truth for why this happens
Truth? In a hobby where 99% of people are autistic neets? Good luck with that. There are multiple things that can cause plastic to yellow.

>There are multiple things that can cause plastic to yellow
I'm talking things like >>11056594
where it's a clean job. Half is baked, the other factory fresh despite being part of the same cartridge. NES flaps? Pristine, the rest of the top? Baked. Sometimes it's uniform, sometimes it's not despite the exposure points basically being equal. I wonder what happened where they were mixing the plastics to get all this variation. I've only ever seen this on Nintendo stuff.

Well I've had that cart for decades and it's been kept in pretty good conditions without much use. So smoke, sun played no factor. Temperature and humidity were pretty constant. The most telling thing is that dozens of other carts stored with it had no discoloration. But a few others did. Here's another one. Cases like this are obviously the result of differences in manufacturing.
>>
>>11057000
there are lots of black cartridge games.

turok 2, 3, rage wars, Wrestlemaina 2000, No mercy, Batman Beyond, Adin chronicles just to name a few.

Front is gold, back is silver colored.

Here's another good example of discoloration of different parts. When I got this it was all white. I used it for a while then put it back in the box and packed it away. A few years later I took it out and it looked something like pic related. IIRC there were a few more white keys. Now it's just the top row and those three.

It took until Gen 3 for Japan to get the color coded Pokemon carts, only for it to immediately be dumped in all regions with Gen 4 and the move to DS. A real bummer to this day.

It's almost like shittily produced gook plastic leads to accelerated and inconsistent rates of oxidization.

Auster, you lost. Nobody cares about your yellowed Amiga.
