Cave games collecting

[msamiullah]

Folks, I never got into collecting any Cave shooters but I might. I would like to know if the original cave/ami boxes have any identifier for the games that came in it ? eg. serial # , game name printed on the box etc or if these boxes are generic for all the games released on the platform ? Thanks!

one more question, alot of CAVE games have black label variant ? What does that mean ?

Updated versions of the game usually with different scoring techniques, difficulty, bullet patterns, modes. etc.

Best resource to learn of changes between “labels” is: https://shmups.wiki/library/CAVE

Pretty much all the games have awesome ports for various consoles, you can proboably buy them all, consoles included, for the cost of 1 arcade kit..
