Color label UK is in the db already, so the rename cannot happen because it would create a naming issue. That one is the 4L1717 color label cart that specifically refers to PAL UK TV:
https://vgcollect.com/item/96506
Then the one pointed out as being UK color label 4L2277:
https://vgcollect.com/item/96504
And the white label version also 4L2277:
https://vgcollect.com/item/96505
So if both the 4L2277 are UK releases, what is the 4L1717 then?
Or are you saying that the 96506 entry has a box/cart mismatch?
Ah my favorite CBS releases.
CBS PAL releases are distributed by either Ideal Toy Company or CBS Toys. Ideal toys are all U.K. releases (Made in England), while one are targeted to the requlatory requirement for U.K. (for U.K. PAL System only), others are targeted for other english speaking markets. Have you heard about Ireland? Do you think they would put a UK only cart in their device Australia, new zealand and so on, you name it. The CBS Toys releases are the EUROPE releases, aka the guys who don't live on an island. So if you ask me, only the 4L2277 with CBS Toys as manufacture is the "real" international edition (for ALL languages)
Coconuts
Box front title is item title, cart or game menu screen title into alt-title.
This item shows box and cart (front) title as Coconuts, and title on back to be Coco Nuts.
Oh, ok. Then it makes sense. If everywhere else, the manual the box, backside of the box,and even the Trademark is called "Coco Nuts" and the story about coco the little monkey who went nuts, the game must be called Coconuts. I'll start to discuss about Sprintmaster/Sprint Master if you dont believe me
Ghostbusters
https://vgcollect.com/item/65505
front art removed.
Galaxian
https://vgcollect.com/item/70090
Entry created with front art. adjust the title to match the art on entry.
Freeway
Item in EU category: https://vgcollect.com/item/66475
Item number added after entry created. Is this a US game in an EU category?
The pictures are from the US release. There is only the international edition for EU. The description is for EU only the pictures are wrong
Is it a duplicate of this? https://vgcollect.com/item/15273
Additionally, the two US Freeway entries have the same front art. This is blue label entry:
https://vgcollect.com/item/35121
Where does the front art on 66475 come from?
On 35121 the cart is wrong. the first release (AG-009) with the red Label was release with the black bar on the box and without. The AG-009-04 is the blue label version
Jr Pac-Man
https://vgcollect.com/item/95130
Front art change was rejected due to 2 reasons.
1. the P on the box but nothing about this P in Description field.
2. Edit made to description field didn't remove the text that is currently in it.
Is the art currently on the entry the US art?
The EU releases only have a different production and release date, the box is the US box only with a sticker added. The latest 1988 box has the P branding on the cartridge.
Kung-Fu Master
descriptors in item titles should be more obvious. I did not immediately see where it says "Salu" on box front, back or cart label.
Also this item may be a dupe.
reported item: https://vgcollect.com/item/116320
white label: https://vgcollect.com/item/63410
Whitelabel releases of Activision games always have the similar label style as the original and are top label and front label in one. The SALU releases only have a front label on the cart with no top label (The carts often have a "roof" like a house so there is no space for a label.) Also there is visible black space below the front label. If the white label does not go down to the border and around it, its a salu release. They not always have the "distributed by SALU" on the labels, too, to make it more complicated
In addition, there is a thread for Listing Errors, in the future post into there for things like this:
https://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,8002.0.html
NOTE: I requested OP make this thread.
Thanks for the fish
Have a great day all of you. I will keep you busy!
