Trivia

It's not entirely known when this multicart was first released, but the earliest known version is from 1990. This multicart was re-released several times, with the year being edited on the label. The only real difference is the year of release. The version of multicart on all these releases seems to be the same. Another difference is that the back label with the list of games for some of those versions is also different.

The known versions to exist are:

"1990" - Seems to be earliest version of the multicart
"1992" - Commonly found in Argentina. It started to get copies all over the place from that one, originally published by JY also.
"1993" - Commonly found in Russia, mostly on pirate carts, shaped like official Jaleco Famicom carts from 1990s, with "TV GAME CARTRIDGE" written on the shell.
"1994"
"1994 JY-010"
