Title: A question about Tengen NES games
Post by: razorbeamz on July 29, 2014, 04:17:18 pm

Should Tengen black cart games that are ONLY available as a black cart be listed as black cart in the description?

A couple examples on the site are After Burner and Toobin' which are both unavailable as a licensed cart but are listed with (Tengen Black Cart) in the description.

I want to change them but I want to make sure that it's okay before I submitted an edit and got rejected. There really needs to be a field for explaining why you make an edit when you do so so the admins can know what an edit is for.

Usually the ( ) is used for variants. So technically if it's the only version of the game, it wouldn't use the ( ) in the title. I think those ended up with (Tengen Black Cart) due to uniformity.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I created them all that way.  That was way back in the day though, before the style guide was even a thing.
