Classic Video Games / Re: ntsc ps2 in Netherlands power question

There is always the possibility they are "official" bootlegs. Items that were backdoored from the factory, or manufactured after a factory stopped having the license to produce, or have been sold. There are many examples in manufacturing where something is remade by the original factory after a contract is up, or the plant has been sold, or after hours/"lunchtime" editions created by employees, etc.

Classic Video Games / Re: What games do you remember playing at sleepovers?

« on: June 23, 2017, 09:54:15 am »

TMNT II the Arcade Game (NES)
X-Men (Genesis)
World Series Baseball (Game Gear)
Combat (VCS)

For the one kid I used to hang out with a lot, I know it was a lot of NES/Genesis but I do not recall the games now. And I am specifically just trying to remember ones from sleepovers, not games I remember playing at other people's houses from just a day visit or whatever.

Someone, please enlighten me. What is this? And published by Bungie!?
https://vgcollect.com/item/3363

My guess is it was a placeholder for Monster Hunter Freedom Unite: https://vgcollect.com/item/10957
The reason I say this is because when it was released in Japan it was called Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G [/size]and the entry was created in 2008, over a year before the game came out in North America.

Merged with https://vgcollect.com/item/32907

Please merge this somewhere. It does not belong in PSP [NA] because a physical copy was never released in the US.

From what I have read, you need to get a different power adapter. It isn't like the Slim models where you can just get a different plug. There is the chance that just plugging it in directly will damage the system. I have read a little bit online and most people that have an original NTSC PS2 in europe have to use a power transformer or other type of power supply to get the correct voltage to the outlet the PS2 is connected to.

Activision's Atari 2600 Action Pack 2 for Windows - Activision Classics CD - https://vgcollect.com/item/90568

and

Activision's Atari 2600 Action Pack 2 for Windows 95 - Activision Classics CD - https://vgcollect.com/item/90566

Not a dupe. They both exist. 90566 is real and says "Windows 95" on the front, whereas 90568 says "Windows". The reason there is no front image is because I was unable to find one that was usable for the entry.

Understood. Mine just says Windows. I recently acquired all three and have submitted new hi-res scans of all three as well

Regarding scans. One was rejected because it was really the same. The site changes images to 200x200 (max) and we can see both the new and old to compare.

Video Game Database Discussion / Re: Blood Omen 2: The Legacy of Kain or Legacy of Kain, The: Blood Omen 2?

« on: June 19, 2017, 10:46:59 am »

It seems the US releases the title is Legacy of Kain Series, The: Blood Omen 2 and in EU it is Blood Omen 2: The Legacy of Kain Series.

Spine title is to be put into alt-name if it contains terms not in the item title. For example, I wouldn't put "Blood Omen 2" in the alt-title because that information is already covered in the item title. You could put into the description field that the spine title is Blood Omen 2.

I intended this to be for everything but only had posted the video game entry examples. They were used to show some of the different ways items were currently done. Since those entries covered that, there were no accessory entries (such as controller or RF unit, I looked at those also before posting) with a different type of arrangement, they weren't posted. I used the term "item" specifically to not single out games.

Screenshots were not considered because many items in this category are not games and thus have no screenshots.
