Not that Genesis has any GH/PC equivalent, but this is why I hate the Genesis, they look horrible on shelves.  No conformity across the board.

It really varies, certain consoles' games' spines have varied art the same as yours but a lot of them just have plain colour backgrounds with text. It really sucks. I'll be looking at an American game collection like "Hey maybe my collection will look that nice someda- oh wait no it can't."

The bulk of any multi-platform collection is usually PS2 games which makes American game shelves look really nice but makes ours look so dull. :(

But yeah, it makes it look even uglier when you have a Platinum PS1 or PS2 game here because whereas all the other game cases look the same suddenly having this gaudy-ass black and silver thing sticking out in the middle of it looks horrible.

Do i hate them? No.
As for collecting them... maybe. lol
It depends if there's a change in the game itself. Some of them are no different other then a different box or Label variant.
While others have new changes to the game. Some examples are...

- Resident Evil Director's Cut (PS1) - They added use of the Dual Shock controller.
- The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64) - Fixed many bugs from the original.
- Virtual Fighter 4 Evolution (PS2) - added new fighters
- Marvel Ultimate Alliance (PS2) - Added a bonus disc of extra content

There's many on the PS3/XB360 known as Game of the Year Editions that added DLC content and fixed bugs.
I always hold on to these when I come across them.

These are just the few off the top of my head, I'm sure there's more I can't think of or there's one's I may not know about. :P If anyone knows anymore to add to this list, please tell me so I can hold on to them.

Most of the time I don't pick up every Greatest Hits or Players Choice because I'm not a huge label variant collector unless its something like say Metroid Gray label & Metroid Yellow label just because they look so different. But I have been holding on to SNES and N64 Player's choice carts when I happen to find one out garage salin just because. lol
I also hold on to the PS1 Greatest Hits that the black label only existed as a large box.
But with most PS1, PS2, Gamecube, etc I just sell or trade them off to get something I'd rather have.

Not CEs, but PC games are a real problem for uniformity. It is a lot better once nearly everyone adopted the DVD or extra size DVD snap-cases, but before that it is crazy. I just look at my big box PC game shelf and say, what are ya gonna do?
