Actually, I meant that the data for both NTSC and PAL versions are on the same cartridge.  No matter, I'll update the items in question.  Also, some of these titles are in the [EU] category, so I'll submit edits to move them to the [NA].   Thanks for the clarification.

the following titles in the Colecovision [NA] subcategory have their instruction manuals as the front image art:

https://www.vgcollect.com/item/242843
https://www.vgcollect.com/item/242871
https://www.vgcollect.com/item/243189
https://www.vgcollect.com/item/243191
https://www.vgcollect.com/item/243195

The correct box art can be found here:  http://www.colecovision.eu/ColecoVision/games/

Which brings me to my next question.  Since each of these titles were developed in Europe by Philip Klaus Krause should they be moved to the Colecovision [EU] subcategory?  I'm torn because each title contains both the NTSC and PAL versions, and Good Deal Games lists these titles under their publishing link here:  https://www.gooddealgames.com/Publishing.html  The other option is to list the titles in both the [NA] and [EU] categories, but I'd like an opinion from the mods before doing any unnecessary duplication.

If these titles should be moved, then there are a few other titles that should be moved as well:

Please add an Intellivision [JP] catagory under the Intellivision platform.  I currently have approximately six titles to add.  A complete list of [JP] releases for the Intellivision can be found here:  https://forums.atariage.com/topic/295758-bandai-intellivision-complete-game-list/

The cartridge image for https://vgcollect.com/item/97158 Zaxxon [UK] for the Intellivison [EU] has the cartridge image for the international version (cartridge # 4L2107) instead of the correct UK version (cartridge # 4L2108).   The current image also has an item # CI243503 on the label which is only on the international variant.

I can submit the correct UK cart image (including the box image), but I wanted to inform the mods first before submitting the edit.

There's no problem for you to go ahead and make those changes. Thanks for the advance notice and correcting the error. Also, I've been curious where you've been gathering information from, so that's helpful to know as a reference point.

Edits to Zaxxon [UK] just submitted.  As for my sources of information for Intellivision, intvfunhouse.com is an excellent source for Intellivision information, both [NA] and [EU], as well as homebrews.  I then double check their listings with at least one, but optimally two, eBay listings by country, i.e. ebay.co.uk, ebay.fr, etc.  In some cases, eBay listings have better quality images, and more than likely will have an image of the back box image.  Other good resources for are:
 
intellivisionworld.com
https://mluenzer.home.ktk.de
Blue Sky Rangers (https://history.blueskyrangers.com)
Intellivision Collector (https://kamikazi26.synology.me/)
IntelligentVision (https://www.intellivision.us/index.php)
CollectorVision (https://collectorvision.com/games.php?systeme=intv#listofgames)

And, believe it or not, AtariAge.  The Intellivision forums on AtariAge is a wealth of information when it comes to finding release information, box and cart art, and just general history of titles that isn't necessarily captured by fan pages.  This is especially true for homebrew releases.

I almost failed to mention that North American and European on-line game retailers, retromtl.com for example, are also an excellent source for box and cartridge images.

Hope this helps

Examples of both the international and UK releases of this entry can be found here:  https://intvfunhouse.com/games/zaxx.php

And an example of the correct UK cartridge image can be found here as well:  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/226336501184?

I can submit the correct UK cart image (including the box image), but I wanted to inform the mods first before submitting the edit.

I have questions regarding entry https://www.vgcollect.com/item/120284 for Mouse Trap [DE] for the Colecovision:

Front image art:  I can find no record anywhere of this box front style being sold for the Colecovision, and the image provided does not identify the compatible console that it is for.  In fact, it is very similar to the European CBS box styles released for the Intellivision.  An example can be found here:  https://www.ebay.de/itm/267124767714? and you will notice in this listing that the cellophane on the box is torn, and the console sticker is attached to the cellophane.  It's quite possible the image in the entry in question was uploaded from an intellivision box in which the cellophane has been removed thus also removing the console label. 

Rear and Cartridge image:  This two images appear to be from the Australian release which is in the database here:  https://www.vgcollect.com/item/284551 and also here:  https://www.colecoboxart.com/coleco_mousetrap.htm .  Unfortunately, the image quality of the entry in question is poor, and the item #s can't be identified (would start with ACC if it's indeed Australian).  What I can say, is that the additional item #s on the cartridge image, CC241901 and 4L1988, match that reported by colecoboxart for the Australian release and also correspond to the item # on the box, ACC 241901

Thus, in my opinion, this entry is a Frankenstein entry with an Intellivision [EU] front image and a Colecovision [AU] back and cart image.  Since the title states that this is a German title, then it would correspond to:  https://www.vgcollect.com/item/284523 that I just recently uploaded.
