Epyx? All three of theirs were licensed as far as I know.
Looking over them, the width all seems the same. Didn't check height. Depth, the Camericas look to be a tiny big deeper, all others smaller. I have one stack, a wisdom tree game, a color dreams game, and two camericas, they cancel each other out and all carts line up with their neighbors again.

Impossible Mission II from Epyx is definitely a non-standard cart.
Color Dreams/Camerica... yeah they're certainly not that far off, but they have weird bulges in them (Camerica for the Position A/Position B switch, Color Dreams for the little I dunno, thumb grip? Whatever you'd call it)

Sooo... would you agree that if you take the height of the Color Dream cart's Thumb grip that would be the "Thickest" cart?
KalessinDB:
Top of my head, I think you're correct. But I will check when I get home from work, the Camerica cart MIGHT be a little thicker.
Ozzy_98:
Even with the bulges they do not affect height, otherwise the way my carts are stacked would be lopsided.
impossible mission was released by AVE and SEI in the US. It's the only SEI cart game so I can't say on thoese. But depth is limited by the actual nes tray too, so they all have the same max sizes on all axis.

Little Red Hood is the thickest nes game. It requires you to attach a licensed game to play in the original nes. Top loader works fine.
Here is a pick of the Cart
Basically its the following shape:
___|--
allows for it to be seated in the original nes and a cart to be attached while sticking out the front. So essentially double think. Not thinking you can create a UGC case that maintains the dimensions and can fit that game
