Thanks!
Hmm yes I didn't think of the fact that people might own both the 5 screw version and the 3 screw one. That's true. That does warrant multiple release pages.

Hey guys. Robert from Sweden here. I stumbled upon this site by someone linking to their collection on a forum and thought it looked interesting. I've been keeping an excel sheet of my collection for some time now, but this site seems really cool and the potential for a collection list with tons of interesting data is huge. So I'll be migrating my collection list to this site soon.
I've been playing games since I was old enough to hold a controller, and have been collecting games for a while now mostly for Nintendo platforms, although I don't have a ton of games yet. I basically only collect games that I find interesting. I don't collect to have, for example, a complete PAL NES collection. I only aim to have the great games on my shelves.
So games like Stadium Events or other ultra rare-but-boring games aren't really of interest to me. I also usually only buy one game at a time instead of lots. I've been focusing on the NES/FC for some time now, but recently started getting more serious about Game Boy games as well. But anything Nintendo is interesting to me.
I'm a little confused about one thing here though. I've been adding some items, mostly PAL NES games, to the database (hopefully correctly...) and I see that for some games there are multiple entries. For example, Excitebike on the NES has one entry for the 3 screw version and one for the 5 screw version. I think it's fine to have different entries for different regions and remakes and such, but these multiple entries for the same region is a bit confusing I think. Wouldn't it be better to just have a general release page and then if the user wants he could add a note saying if it's the 5 screw version or not? Or maybe somehow combine the two pages into one and let the user specify which release he has there by checkboxing it. I have no idea how the database works and if that's even possible though. So what are the thoughts around this?
Either way I think I'll find myself right at home here and look forward to see the site evolve and get better.
Regards,
Robert
