Unlicenced NES Games

[nintendojuggalo]

I was wondering where do these games fit in (Tengen, Color Dream, Camerica, etc.)? Should they be considered official releases or given their own category?

It seems the Tengen carts have been listed as Official Releases. Tengen only released 3 Licensed games for the NES; Gauntlet, Pac-Man and RBI Baseball. The rest, considering they are unlicensed games, we should probably change them to Unofficial Releases; like Wisdom Tree's games such as Joshua: The Battle of Jericho. All licensed, unlicensed, demo and homebrew games are listed with the Official NES games in the NES section and once we get the advance search running it will make things easier to find/ sift through.  

Also the Tengen games  have all been listed like this:After Burner (Tengen - Black Cartridge)

Awesome. As I'm adding my collection I'll do my part as well.

@nintendojuggalo I have been noticing and approving a lot of your edits. I just want to say thanks for all the submissions. Hope to see you around the forums often!

[nintendojuggalo]

I will try if there's time. As for my contributions, I'm doing this as I'm digging out my NES collection and organizing them is big plastic cases... the cardboard boxes don't cut it no more. I have 648 NES games... it could take a while. lol

[madmax]

Wow 648 games?!

Are you gonna add them all to your collection on VGCollect over time?

I'd really like to see a picture of your collection

648! Damn got me beat... lol

does that include doubles?

I was looking at nintendojuggalo's collection and noticed he has some multicarts.

Are we going to catalog those too? I mean, there's a ridiculous amount of multicarts out there. There's no way we could possibly document all.

[pceslayer]

Assuming the owners input them accordingly, why not? I have a pirate multicart in my list as well.

Oh, so we can list almost unique items like that? Okay, cool, I thought it wasn't allowed.

I'm not sure, @matt and I had talked a little about hacks/bootlegs etc. I'm currently unsure of what the stance is on it, since we haven't had a chance to talk at length.

[pceslayer]

Pirate carts from the golden era of VideoGames aren't quite like the bootlegs of today. Also what of people who want to keep track what Repro games they have purchased(FF3 or Earth Bound Zero on NES anyone)?

I dunno... at the end of the day its @matt that gets to make the call.

Tengen also released Shinobi. This is the only Tengen game I own apart from the ones you mentioned. Is it possible there is more?

Edit: I misunderstood, you where talking about officials. My bad!

[pceslayer]

I went through and changed a bunch to unofficial... I may have missed some and will go back through later.
