what games for the nes come in different colors?

Some of the games by Tengen were black like Gauntlet and Tetris. Most carts that were other colors were not liscened by Nintendo.

Color Dreams games were another unlicensed NES game developer, like already mentioned Tengen. They used light blue cartridges. Captain Comic, Bible Adventures, and Crystal Mines were a few of their games. Crystal Mines is actually a pretty good Boulderdash clone. And isn't it ironic that a game developer that made Bible games broke Nintendo's licensing rules?

For example zelda was available in gold and grey.spau0588

Only Zelda of what I know! I know the N64 had a couple like Tony Hawk, and Donkey Kong 64!

And they only got away w/ it because they sold them only at Christian book stores! One of the ways Nintendo controlled unlicensed games at the time was by refusing to sell their own and licensed games at stores that also sold unlicensed games. The Christian book stores had no interest in regular games and hence could afford to break the rules whereas most major retailers could not.

They had to have sold them at more than just Christian book stores, because they made more than just the couple Bible games. Crystal Mines, for example.

Color Dreams/Bunch Games/Wisdom Tree= This company used baby blue and black carts. Color Dreams and then Bunch games made some rip off games and actually made

a few games that were pretty good, however after switching their name to Wisdom Tree they made mostly bible based games, but mostly lacking any plot outside of the

characters within. 15 games were made under the name Color Dreams. 5 games were made under the name Bunch Games. 7 bible based games were made under the

name Wisdom Tree.

Tengen= Black carts. This is my favorite unlicensed NES game producer. They have some killer games.... they also have some grey carts that got licensed as well though.

Tengen made 20 NES games

American Game Cartridges= Made 3 games most notably the game Chiller which is by far the most gory game on the NES... Although they used grey carts they are much

different then any others.

Camerica= Made the Alladin Deck enhancer which needed to be used to play a few of its games. Some notable games include Big Nose, Dizzy, and others. Not all their

games needed the game genie like Alladin Deck however. Some of their carts featured a NTSC/PAL switch to play the games in different regions.

Stand alone games came in silver and gold colors while the deck enhanced games were black.

Some stand alone games were: FireHawk, Micro Machines (great game), Ultimate Stuntman, the dizzy series, and the quatro series.

American Video Entertainment= 18 ganes released on the NES. Most of these games were pretty hard to bear... like Wally Bear and the No Gang... lol :P

here are some of their games: Death Bots, Impossible Mission II... sigh... at least Venice Beach Volleyball wasnt too bad... These games ranged from Gold like Impossible

Mission II, to black, and grey.

You also have the Venetian adult games and games like Cheetahmen II... lol

Those are going to fetch some HIGH prices though..

I hope this helped, good luck.

Oh, and from my one and only Blog describing my love for unlicensed NES games and the ones I own, check here http://www.gamespot.com/users/WitIsWisdom/show_blog_entry.php?topic_id=m-100-25818056

I have small self reviews on each.

One two many onlys, I guess. Yeah, Color Dreams did sell them elsewhere but had a lot of trouble for the reasons I described. (Apparently, it was just a threat on Nintendo's part but that was enough.) The Wisdom Tree games were may more successful because Christian bookstores gave them a distribution network that didn't care about Nintendo's threats.
