I'm sure there are. In those days they didn't had digital pictures and they had to get these slides to print in game magazines and such.

These were games you could plug into the Placychoice 10. That's a demo unit with different snes games you could play. In the pictures you can see: The box, the actual game , and a plastic display card you could insert into the playchoice

These are famicombox games. The famicombox was a demo unit from japan. It was the asian counterpart of the M82 , which you can see in Retro's pictures on the first page

Here is nice book I bought at a flea market. The title is: L'année du jeu vidéo 2004 (Year of the videogames 2004) The book itself has a hardcover and is in French. The first part is about the history of videogames and consoles. The second part is about the previous next-gen games (Playstation 2 , XBOX). And in the last part, there are some tributes to the important game developers ( Shigeru Miyamoto...) The book has a lot of nice pictures. Although I can read French, I wish this was written in English. Very beautiful book !
