Video Game Database Discussion / Re: TPX VGCOLLECT R&D LIST

« on: July 06, 2017, 12:03:33 pm »

Decided to stop holding back on the missing PS2 consoles. I had originally only added the ones that I was able to find both the SCPH number from the box AND a front image. Might as well add the rest, the entries can be fixed later.

For the spreadsheet list, this color code for the VGC ID column

Green = in DB, has Front image and SCPH number in title
teal = in DB, has Front image, missing SCPH number in title
yellow = not in DB. found no images, not confirmed to exist
red = in DB, disputed/unknown entry (will be removed in the future)
orange = bootleg, not to be added to the DB
magenta = in DB, does not have front image, has another image (existence confirmation)

In addition, for Nintendo products. The item number on the record is supposed to be the item number on the packaging (if it exists, if not then cart/disc number may be used) and not the number on the manual or the cart. Those who put in the cart item number to the main record are allowed, but be aware that it just makes extra work to be done in the future to fix the entry later.

Many Game Gear games can come with different stampings.

For the two Game Gear games I have that I know have different stampings (Sonic Chaos, Sonic 2) both of these have a Majesco re-release. It could be that one signifies original vs re-release. I do not know if there is a dedicated list of the different versions, but you may want to register and ask on sms-power:

I was everything, but recently I've decided to mainly go after PC and Sega Genesis.

All of my best memories of N64 games is playing them on other platforms. So to start:
1. Not enough exclusive titles. And not just "console exclusives" I'm talking about games not on PC either.
2. Controller was weird.
3. Graphics are blurry on purpose.
4. Carts do not have spine labels.

I personally never owned an N64. I had a Saturn and then Dreamcast. So the only experiences I had with N64 when it was out was any friends that had it. And that also limited me to the games that they had. And then I can tell by the games they had that were just bad versions of other games.

Episode I Racer, Quake, Doom, Starcraft, Turok 2, Forsaken, Gauntlet Legends, Hexen, etc.

Daytona USA Netlink Edition on Saturn US, I'd say the longest I have wanted to get this game... perhaps close to 10 years now.

If I look on my wishlist, the ones that have eluded me the longest there are the Genesis carts for Atomic Robo-Kid and Liberty or Death. For Atomic Robo Kid, I have seen it complete on Ebay only a couple of times. Most times it is the MD version. Never seen Liberty or Death on there except empty case only. For neither of those have I seen it available as just the cart.

The Ghostbusters Genesis on my wishlist is also from that same time period I added those other two Genesis games. I have seen the Ghostbusters cart being sold, I just won't spend more than $20 to buy it.

Fresh Duplicate of SoulCalibur V, XBox 360[na].

Original: https://vgcollect.com/item/25259
dup: https://vgcollect.com/item/128266

I came here to post that same duplicate but should we edit the existing titles to include a space between soul and caliber?

You can put it as "Soul Calibur" in alt-title.

For example, the name should be "LittleBigPlanet" and not "LittleBIGPlanet" for the PSP.

This is correct. It should be put as LittleBigPlanet.

Spines can't be used as a general rule because many games have incomplete titles on the spine, or do not have spine titles at all. But we know the vast majority of games do have their full title on the front of the packaging.

Also it is Orange, so it is (at least) NA version. I see the Japanese version is black?

What country are you in?

US version certainly exists. I have it on a couple demo discs. Curious, none on US ebay right now... BUT we're talking about PC games. The market for PC games is such that it is difficult to determine value on certain items. Things that are insanely rare can have no known value because you can have a low demand or unknown demand on an item. Rarity doesn't mean anything in the PC Game collector's market like it does for console games because the amount of collectors is very low in comparison.

I have many items in my PC Games/software (even hardware) collection that appear to be rare, but there is no real market for them so they have unknown demand or unknown value.

The best example I could think of off the top of my head is the registered version of Notyet:
https://vgcollect.com/item/123306
Which to my knowledge, the only images online (or indexed by Google) of this release is the one on that item entry and the picture I put of all three on twitter.
https://twitter.com/Tripredacus/status/854709245006278657

PC Game collecting right now is generally ruled by big box releases of AAA titles, and modern Collector's Editions. Everything else falls into the unknown quantity category.

I'm going to start looking for cart only items that have the item in more than one spot since we decided that it could go in the front box art slot as a result of the poll.

Like this one for example. The back art and item art images need to be removed.

https://vgcollect.com/item/36037

Images removed. For this, it seems this is only available as a pack-in for specific games. It should be noted in description which items this was available as a pack-in for.

Also, any accessories should have their manufacturing name on them. So that GunCon 2 should be Sony GunCon 2.
