The transition from 5-screw to 3-screw cartridges in Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) games was primarily a cost-saving
measure implemented by Nintendo during the late 1980s. This change occasionally coincided with updates to other aspects of the game's packaging,
including the Universal Product Code (UPC). We have compiled a list of these 5-screw game titles including their UPC codes that may or may not differ
from their 3-screw counter-parts. Six (6) titles are available in 5-screw only: Clu Clu Land, Stack-Up, Chubby Cherub, Tag Team Match:M.U.S.C.L.E.,
Sqoon, and Stinger.
