Different back
« on: June 13, 2020, 07:02:47 am »
Now i have a game that is already in the database but has a slightly different back. The blue boxes with 1 player, 25gb minimum, etc is different, or the middle part.

Barcode is the same. Front is the same.

The only thing i wonder is are the letters raised on the one in the database? https://vgcollect.com/item/175414
Mine doesnt have raised letters, but it could be the scan.

The UK version has the same thing here.
There seems to be a regular version: https://ebay.co.uk/itm/254624635045
and a gold foil version: https://ebay.co.uk/itm/303593338687

Where the gold foil cover has foil stamped on front and back. On the regular cover that text is just yellow. The part number on the back cover appears to be the same between both versions.

There is a thought on gamefaqs forum that the gold foil cover has the original release date, but the yellow cover is a reprint. However, it seems no one knows when that reprint was released.

I think that the gold foil was a sort of day one release.

But why they changed the back a little, i dont know. Only the person who did it knows.

Ive put mine in with a alternate back in the title, because i wasnt sure about the gold foil thing.

From here:
https://vgcollect.com/item/180837
(alternate backcover) is an invalid descriptor. Recommend change this to no descriptor and add (foil cover) to the other entry.
