The Famiclone Labels Archives continue to grow, and today we’re excited to share a brand-new batch of label submissions that have been added to the collection. These latest entries showcase the wild creativity, regional flair, and bootleg charm that make Famiclone cartridges such a fascinating part of retro gaming history.
🆕 Newly Added Labels
This update features several standout additions, including multiple versions of Werewolf: The Last Warrior and a striking RoboCop 2 label:
-
Werewolf II – A bold, illustrated label featuring dramatic comic-style artwork, capturing the raw intensity often seen on unofficial releases.
-
Werewolf: The Last Warrior (multiple variants) – These newly submitted labels highlight how the same game could receive completely different visual treatments depending on the publisher or region. From action-heavy compositions to minimalist designs, these variations tell their own story.
-
RoboCop 2 – A sharp and visually polished label featuring the iconic cybernetic lawman, complete with Japanese text elements that hint at its international bootleg origins.
Each of these labels reflects the creative freedom—and occasional chaos—of the Famiclone market, where artwork often blended original illustrations, licensed characters, and dramatic typography.
📼 Why These Labels Matter
Famiclone labels are more than just stickers on cartridges—they’re historical artifacts. They document:
-
How games were marketed outside official channels
-
Regional differences in presentation and language
-
The ingenuity of bootleg publishers working with limited resources
By preserving these labels, the Famiclone Labels Archives help ensure this often-overlooked part of gaming history isn’t lost to time.
