As noted elsewhere, not sure if we should have a category just for 5 titles.

As noted elsewhere, there are tons of categories with fewer than 5 titles.  A few of those categories are under Sega Genesis/Mega Drive as well.

Oh those, well those categories are on my list to get to. This PS2 thing is sucking my life away

Game with a black screen for the front box art. In addition, the back box art has a watermark

Updated with UK release images. That back image was from the US release anyways.

SEGA CD 32X shouldn't be in the title.

Matter of fact, we should have a Sega CD 32X category.

Not enough games to warrant a different category.

I rejected the edit for changing the name for the same reason, it shouldn't be in the title because there isn't another of a different type in the category already. It should be put into alt name field instead.

I don't know what it is, but the front box-art feels... off somehow? The older style PEGI rating on top of the USK rating is a bit weird and it all looks very fake to me.

I just replaced the artwork with a better stock image.

Perhaps this has been fixed? I received my first email for a PM yesterday.

I saw this bin and it is annoying. Half the games are not priced, and at least at the one I went to, there is no price checker anywhere nearby. So go on a jaunt across the store to find out all the things I picked up were still $50-60.

I did get the Sega 3D Classics Collection for 3DS for $20.

What is in the black text box on the front of the PAL versions, is it the same on both versions?

It seems to be the product's EAN code: 3455192107544, which is the same in both versions. If you google that EAN you'll find both blue and white mountain versions.

I tend not to trust what Google says is the picture of EAN results. Verification is always needed.

Wrong image

I removed the DMC4 art earlier. There seems to be correct art on the NFS game, maybe it was added after you saw? See it again and tell us if it is still wrong.

Japanese boxart. Tried finding the EU boxart, but could only find covers of the Twisted Edition. Don't know if there even is a regular edition.

PS1 game listed as a PSV game. Already in the database: https://vgcollect.com/item/63345

There is this, it says not to be sold separately. Is this the normal back of the case inside Twisted Edition?

Crash Brandicoot game, edited title, changed platform, removed item number and barcode.
Gamefaqs has this game as PSOne classics. If the PSN Vita category I picked is wrong, please submit edit to change it. I am unfamiliar with digital console games.

Yes, being able to assign items as child/parent has been suggested already.

PS: I am glad that video games are not as complicated as music releases.

Not everything is fun and games. The PC items won't get put into the DB, but will be used for gaming purposes in the future.
IBM keyboard PS/2
AT&T keyboard PS/2


This video card (Intergraph Intense 3D Pro 2200S) original MSRP somewhere low 4 figures, believe the add-on card is texture memory. Untested.
the PC software boxes are sealed.

In the case of items in categories, you only need to put in a TLD in the title if you would otherwise have more than 1 item with the same title.

For Gamecube, it does not seem that the item number is as prevalent on the boxes as it is for Sony items, or on the consoles themselves. If I were doing Gamecube, I would follow the method I used for the Game Gear category.

Also, when starting to work on an entire category like this, I will want to do some research first before tackling any of the existing entries. For this work, while I had made some comments about how I think PS2 consoles should be named in this thread already, I had gone and found information on a lot of the releases beforehand. Once I got a good understanding of how to tell the different ones apart, it gave me a better idea of how they should be in the category.

So the box takes priority on the listings, then you should be using the alt-name field to handle any extra keywords that people would use if they have a loose console.
