Video Game Database Discussion / Adding multiple language versions? (SNES, NES, ...)
« on: July 20, 2014, 10:16:43 am »
Hello everybody
I just found this site and it's awesome. After adding some SNES games to my collection, I noticed something and I don't know if this database is the right way to keep track of my games - since the entries are recorded in such detail.
I'm living in Zürich, Switzerland, collecting mostly for the SNES. Most of the database entries are UK versions. But here in mid europe (and since switzerland has multiple language regions), we get all sorts of different language versions with different item numbers. Besides of the item numbers, these games are practically the same (but sometimes also differences in the box art/text and so on).
So my question is, should or shouldn't I add those versions to the database? Using the UK entries, while I own stuff from Germany, France, Italy or the Netherlands, is - well - sort of wrong
But adding all those different versions is maybe a bit too much.
Cheers!
