Wow....I didn't quite realize that Bible Adventures had that many variations. I'll have to add all those to my list.

What I meant was that if you look at King Neptunes Adventure, it shows a black cart next to the "competition" info. The pic needs to be moved down to the row below where it is describing the black cart information. I took a screenshot of it. It also might be just my computer as it's acting up already today and making me mad:

Ah, ok -- glad you told me that. Stupid Internet Explorer!!! Apparently, IE doesn't like a few things I do


I fixed it, and I'll eventually remove these posts to keep this thread clean.

I have scans of the French P'Radikus Conflict and Raid 2020 boxes (and French manual sheets), as well as the German Impossible Mission II.

By the way, on the Master Chu page, the carts found in France are the black with grey back-label, not the black with black back-label. In a matter of fact, is it confirmed that a black cart with black backlabel exists for that game?

Also, if anyone wants to get this copy of (I think) the French Metal Fighter, be my guest:

I forgot, I also have the German Robodemons version. I noticed a couple mistakes, by the way, that I'll change in a few mins, but want to point out one just incase. The German Robodemons box does not have any text sticker glued to the back, only the "distributed by" etc sticker on the front. It's possible that only the French CD releases and not the German ones have a sticker on the back of the box. Can anybody else check their German CD copies?

Hey Speedy (and Hounder) -- I've given you guys variations permissions if you want to add in some of those German and French games. Before you get too far, you might want to browse around in that system to get familiar with it and ask any questions before you add variations (it's a bit confusing). You can always remove any "test" variations as well, or use existing ones to see how I've set them up.

I'll be taking care of all the major variations on my end -- if you guys can help fill in the gaps on some of the more obscure unlicensed stuff for now, that would rock.

Sounds cool
As of late I haven't gotten much done at all in the database due to work and trying to get other stuff done. But I will try to some stuff added again here shortly.

Thanks Dain. I noticed that you keep most of the variation types uniform between the various gamepages, so I'll do my best to add the variations in the same manner

Sounds good. You'll notice that right now I've tended to add a bunch under the "Misc." sub-categories. I will eventually separate those out into specific variation types, but for now I wanted to get as much info up as possible. Don't worry too much about the categories, since we can always move games around as needed. I'm wanting to get as much data in as possible so I can see what works and what doesn't work, then go from there.

I haven't gotten started on adding the variations yet, but just wanted to mention that I received a Rev.A Action 52 in the mail today and noticed another difference between the Rev.A and Rev.B. The Rev.A has a backlabel in place, whereas the Rev.B does not (I have had around 5 NOS Rev.B's, and all that I checked had no backlabel). Could anybody else check their different Revisions for this variation? Then we can add it to the database as well

Hey Speedy, that's a good point, and I meant to make a note on the Rev. B without the back label. I've scanned all 3 I had and posted the back scans to the variations section.

Bible Buffet blue???

Also, what catagory do I use for a Master Chu import box? The sticker is on the top flap.

I'm not sure about the blue Bible Buffet or not -- it's still unconfirmed.

For the Master Chu sticker, that would go under a box front cosmetic variations, or:

Choose [+] Box -> [+] Front -> [-] Cosmetic -> Misc. for now

I'm not sure yet on the guides, only because of copyright issues. I'm even wondering if manuals are going "too far" for that since they're scanned. I think we'll wait for a bit and see if anyone says anything (ie, Nintendo themselves).

Absolutely -- just send 'em to webmaster@ (this site name).com in a Zip or Rar file (or individually).

Anytime you pick up a game that isn't scanned, we'd appreciate any help you can give. For scans, we try for 96 DPI (fullsize scan) saved as JPEGs (75-85% quality).

I forgot to add that I have a lot of CAN games, I'm not sure how many you have listed already.

Going off-topic a bit, I think that Nintendo were one of the few companies that actually put out games with the CAN designation. What were the others if any? Square did one that I know of (Final Fantasy).

I don't know much about CAN games, but Final Fantasy was published by Nintendo, so it could be that only first party titles had the CAN region code.

I'd be curious to know if you find any Canadian releases made by companies other than Nintendo with the -CAN code. So far, if you search for Canadian releases on this site, they're all by Nintendo (or published by Nintendo).

CAN Games

I don't think any other company did use the CAN designation. I though Square did with Final Fantasy but I didn't know that Nintendo published that game.

I was going to mention one more thing. With Wisdom Tree games you can possibly find out what version they are by the code on the back of the box. Two of the ones that I've got have "kk-4" and "kk-6" on the back and say "original game w/ revised packaged" right beside. Both of them are the day version of the box.

I already scenned black Metal Figher. Just need to upload the image now. I also have all the HES scans you wanted, just need to upload those as well. I am going to get you an cd sent off tomorrow with all the images I have. I also have quite the collection of prototype images, if we decided to go that route. I will get them off your way tomorrow afternoon.

Cool bro, thanks a lot -- I'll go through them and see what's what and add what we need, etc.

I've also got a ton of proto images that could be added as well. I think I might add those to the "Additional Images" section for any games where we have a proto image or images.
