Multiple early "black box" NES releases' cartridges produced during the console's US launch in Winter 1985 didn't use NES ROM chips, but rather Famicom ROM chips with a built-in converter. The 15 NES launch titles, and the only games known to have these chips, are:

• 10-Yard Fight
• Baseball
• Clu Clu Land
• Duck Hunt
• Excitebike
• Golf
• Gyromite
• Hogan's Alley
• Ice Climber
• Kung Fu
• Pinball
• Stack-Up
• Tennis
• Wild Gunman
• Wrecking Crew

All of these games would eventually be reprinted with regular NES chips.
