Comment on My N64 game collection. Not the most expansive but it is a lot of fun.

It does hurt my heart a little to see a grey cart Ocarina of Time knowing it is so likely to be a version 1.2 game, meaning it was censored. I just can’t stand the Fire Temple music in 1.2, the chanting samples really elevate that BGM.
Also, I would highly recommend picking up Gauntlet Legends if you can. Excellent 4 player arcade hack-n-slash game. Although most of this collection seems to tell the tale that you likely don’t have other players often, so maybe not… The game is okay single player but way more fun with friends.

I had no idea there were changes made to the grey OoT! My friend had that one but I never played it much at his house.

There were a very small number of grey carts with 1.0 on them but most 1.0 carts at least in America are gold. Most grey carts are 1.2, but some have 1.1 as well. 1.1 is a general bugfixed version but also rare, while 1.2 is where all the censorship came in. Unfortunately for Europeans, all PAL versions are based on the censored 1.2 build. Due to this, grey carts are generally safe to assume are 1.2, because it is the most abundantly available build of the game, having been manufactured and sold the longest.
There are some reports of 1.1 having partial censorship as well, though these may be due to someone swapping the physical carts shell from a different version of the game.
