What is this supposed to be?

Apparently, Activision saw no issue with publishing two different games with the same name for the same system. This eBay listing should clarify what 36547 is. I've updated some of the information for it and 1620.

Here are the GameFAQs pages for the two separate games too.

Slow internet day it would seem ended up with two blanks when I submitted a new item.

the following titles in the Colecovision [NA] subcategory have their instruction manuals as the front image art:

https://www.vgcollect.com/item/243189
https://www.vgcollect.com/item/243191
https://www.vgcollect.com/item/243195

The correct box art can be found here:  http://www.colecovision.eu/ColecoVision/games/

Which brings me to my next question.  Since each of these titles were developed in Europe by Philip Klaus Krause should they be moved to the Colecovision [EU] subcategory?  I'm torn because each title contains both the NTSC and PAL versions, and Good Deal Games lists these titles under their publishing link here:  https://www.gooddealgames.com/Publishing.html  The other option is to list the titles in both the [NA] and [EU] categories, but I'd like an opinion from the mods before doing any unnecessary duplication.

If these titles should be moved, then there are a few other titles that should be moved as well:

I've removed entry art for the listed entries with incorrect front art.

Do you mean that two separate cartridges for different regions are bundled and sold together and then distributed in one package? Or do you mean that data for both versions exists on one cartridge? Regardless, category placement for online-exclusive items should be determined from where the item was sold. For online releases, this usually means where the publisher conducts business from. Unless I'm mistaken, Good Deal Games is based out of the United States. So if that's the case, then I believe all of the items you've presented are categorized correctly in the NA section. This sort of circumstance is outlined in the style guide, shown below:


Online Exclusive Releases
Physical games that are released outside of the normal retail channel and instead are sold exclusively through websites can be put in various categories. This is one of the most difficult type of item to track because the products are typically not region limited and are made available worldwide. In general, a game of this type should be put into the appropriate regional category that relates to the website that has exclusive distribution rights, or if it has a wider online release, then the developer and/or publisher's home country.

Actually, I meant that the data for both NTSC and PAL versions are on the same cartridge.  No matter, I'll update the items in question.  Also, some of these titles are in the [EU] category, so I'll submit edits to move them to the [NA].   Thanks for the clarification.
