I thought this game had actually released on PS2. I didn't even know it was cancelled. Would explain why I've never happened to see one in the wild. But upon checking on Redump, there is indeed no dump of the PS2 version, so it definitely never got released on PS2.

If there was any other way to distinguish them I would have done it this way. But anyways, just to be safe, I just did a full detailed examination again and I can still confirm that every text is the exact same everywhere. The disc is the exact same too and they have the same manual. The bold/thin font doesn't just apply to the front art, it's also different on the side spine, back art, and even on the back text of the manual.

V-Rally Championship Edition (PAL) on the PS1. I have my hands on two copies where everything is the same except the font is slightly different. The left copy has a bolder font than the one on the right. Item #87097 is what would be considered the "Bold" font while we don't have anything in the DB for the "Light" font. Would this be worth making 2 entries named (Bold font) and (Light font) or is the difference too light to separate them?

Let's please create a Xbox One [CN] category. I just picked up the first example I've seen of what would be considered an "Asia" version of an Xbox One game, so I need the appropriate category to list it under.

I'm still waiting on this. Is this getting implemented soon?

Because it's a platformer. That category already exists.

I totally agree with this. There's so much we don't know about these systems and we can't blindly believe what big corp tells us because the FBI will always just know about it anyways. I used to be a huge Xbox fanboy to the point I asked my girlfriend to start calling me Xbox because that just felt natural like me being inside my soul! Then one night my girlfriend felt me being inside her soul and she screamed my name, but that turned me on and my Kinect! I was so ashamed that Gates was now watching us because that meant the catholic church was also seeing us! I know she has god in her too but can't it just be me for once? There is no data privacy anymore. I don't want my data to be sold to the Illuminati cults to be used as their Fiverr training videos! But I knew that Gates was behind it all, it wasn't just a situation where I'm the only one behind it. That Kinect technology means he was there with us, and it just happened that on that very same day, I had broken my ATV's muffler from doing too much competitions of "stuff a toad in, press the gas, see how far it goes" with my friends at the Bayou. You don't see the coincidence? Well it happens that the toad was picked on the pond next to the ranch of my friend's dad who turns out be cheating on the wife of the boss of the classmate of the best friend of the dealer of the favorite prostitute of the school's principal who was born on the exact same day as Bill Gates, proving that NASA was responsible all along!! Anyways, I should stop typing all of this because I know that VGcollect mods are going to report me to the feds, I already know too much.

Why would people spend money on stuff just to destroy it for others. That's just ridiculous. Feels like the kind of thing that somebody with a "the entire world is against me" mindset would say.

 The FBI knows I own a refurbished working OG Original Xbox that can play DVDS with that adopter That came with the sale. So maybe they figure I don't need to play all my OG games. On 360 due to fail-safe



This is 100% it.

I blame Reagan for what we have to endure here.

lol this is so similar to what a crazy lady to who I sold a jailbroken PS3 said to me. "Les policiers ont réinitialisé la jailbreak" (The cops have reset the jailbreak). Uh no, lady, you just got your console CID banned by Sony.

General / Re: Would you replace a Greatest Hits/Reprint game?
« on: September 14, 2023, 05:03:06 am »
I collect all variants of the games I like. So that includes Greatest Hits and all versions from other regions. I actually prefer Greatest Hits versions and I play those instead of the originals as they were sometimes updated/patched versions of the originals.

« on: July 12, 2023, 02:46:23 am »
I prefer just using the most accurate representation of the actual item variant instead of a better quality version that's missing "features". It looks ugly but it's very helpful for disambiguating a variant and to have as much accurate info as possible. Any pic/info is potentially temporary, if a better scan is made/found in the future it'll get updated at that time.

I personally use the Canon Lide 110 to do my scans, I got it second-hand for like 25 $ CAD. It works very well using my settings. If someone is purchasing one and wants to know which settings I'm using, just PM me.

You should make a retro XP machine as games that came out during Windows 7 work on Windows 10/11 just fine.

That's actually not accurate at all. Literally 2/3 of my physical PC games won't work on the current Windows 10. That's because at some point maybe 2-3 years ago Microsoft brought a security update that straight-up refuses to run some older CD/DVD software that have a security "certificate" that is obsolete today, rendering at least 2/3 of CD/DVD games uninstallable.

Similar story from my childhood. Grand Theft Auto III was heavily censored in France and Germany. Being a french speaker, I would use the website jeuxvideo.com to get my cheat codes. There was one cheat code that claims to unlock the "uncensored mode". For probably 10 years I always wondered what the hell this cheat code does because it straight up doesn't work in my game. Turns out that being from Québec, I was actually playing the north-american version of the game, which is already not censored. I hate the europeans ever since  ;D jk

Well actually, Germany's PS2-Versions of GTA III and Vice City contained blood and such, as soon as you switched the consoles language to englisch.  8)

Yes exactly. The cheat codes instructions mentionned setting the game to english in the "language menu in-game" prior to entering the cheat code, and I was like "WHAT LANGUANGE MENU???"
