Are these numbers random? Or do the same games have the same number on the back? What do these numbers mean? Edited by Yoshi64, Jun 18 2009, 02:18 AM.

This hasn't been confirmed, so take this at it is, an idea (I'd say the most probable idea, but still an idea). Concerning the letters you sometimes see next to these numbers (A, B or C), it's the "Revisions" (or re-release) of the games, with slightly differences from the original ones (most often some bugs are corrected between two reprints). The most noticeable example of that are the Mario Kart games, if you get a V1.1 (with the letter A so) or V1.2 (with the letter B), some glitch-shortcuts have been fixed and are impossible to use. I'm 200% of the meaning of those letters though
