Thicker genesis cases
« on: September 04, 2014, 11:20:16 pm »
I have 2 copies of PGA Tour Golf 2 as you can see below.  One of the cases is substantially thicker than the other.  What is up with that?  Any ideas?

EA used to have larger cases for their games, later releases used standard sized ones.

Also, that's not the only thing different here: The larger box says 7 courses while the smaller one says 6. eBay auction photos suggest that the cart also has a different code on the lower right corner: 7155 (7 courses) versus 7155A (6 courses).

So does this mean there are five variants?

Original release with EA Limited Edition sticker (Thicker box)
Original release without EA Limited Edition sticker (Thicker box)
Original release with It's In The Game sticker (Thicker box)
6 course release without EA sticker (Standard box)
6 course release with It's In The Game sticker (Standard box)

Could you please post pictures of the back and cart of the smaller variant of PGA Tour II?

Also, is the sticker on the case, or on the label?

Wow. I actually have this game. This makes me want to check my copy to see what variant I have...

Took some pictures and added them in... cheers!!

Now the question is how do we manage the fact that there are only 2 of the variations added in?  Is the goal to have them all added in?  Which one is defined as the original (no parenthesis)?

The original is easy to figure out: It's the Limited Edition sticker variant. Those were the first prints, always.
