Would it be possible to get a Homebrew/bootleg category for each system?

Added all Game Gear Brazil games (TecToy) to the DB
http://vgcollect.com/browse/gamegearbr

Not pictures for everything, and may not be all releases.

We already do indicate multiple languages in titles. What is the most common release type that exists?

Example: Is it more common that an English language PEGI rated game exists or a BBFC rated game? Is there a BBFC rated version for every PEGI rated release?

As it stands in the database already, there are more PEGI front arts in the EU category than BBFC. We definately shouldn't have a rule where we use (PEGI) on x language but not another, especially where PEGI ratings do exist.

I agree, but I'd rather there be a dedicated search field on the site without having to resort to that pop-up.

I just finished all US release Game Gear games. Edits/dupe merging pending.

I wasn't primarily concerned with all the part numbers. I was more concerned getting all the games in there with the correct front art work. P/Ns can be confusing because a lot of the time, there is a different number on the box vs the case.

Video Game Database Discussion / Old stock photos DO exist!
« on: January 22, 2016, 11:22:57 am »
Going through the Game Gear section, we can now see that stock photos, or weird/incorrect hybrid photos for boxed games apparently DO exist. Of the games already in the database with photos of game releases that apparently do not exist (only time will tell) have included such games like Battletoads, Jurassic Park, Lost World and a couple others.

Here is an example. Pac-Attack on game gear:

EDIT submitted, so if you see this thread later, here is the original pic that was in the db.


A cursory glance, one thing sticks out here. The namco logo is black. Here is what an actual scan of Pac-Attack looks like:


Logo is a different color, and the VRC Rating box is a different color. 4 lines of text instead of 3. There's a reason for this. The original image in the vgcollect database is a Genesis box with the system logo replaced!


So if you are doing any db work, looking at dupes, etc. Keep this in mind that weird stock photos do exist online. It would be nice to know the source of these images.

For the longest time I did not add digital games into my collection. One day I was bored and did it, but I really don't like them. For example, bundles are a huge pain to figure out, so I think I'll just pretend that part of the database doesn't exist.  ;)

I don't know why the database named it CN instead of AS for ASIA

China and Asia have separate releases for a lot of different platforms.

Forward looking, as I keep going along with the Game Gear stuff, I will need these at some point soon so I can add games into them:

Sega Game Gear [BR)
Sega Game Gear [KR]

For Brazil and Korea

EDIT: Aparently, our standard method for listing country codes is conflicting with the forum software, as our code for Brazil stands for (line)Break. See above where I have a typo on purpose.

, i finally found it under the name "Tomb Raider: Anniversary" and seen that the name have been edited to erase the "Lara Croft" of the title. In fact almost every Lara Croft Tomb Raider games have been edited in the same way. I thought we had to put the name as it is written on the case

Tomb Raider: Anniversary should be Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary. It says so on the spine, and in the copyright info block on the back. I looked at the Xbox 360 cover scan for confirmation.

I have a few japanese games for sure. Famicom carts seem to be the easiest to get. 2nd place to that would be Canadian games, which I feel like shouldn't count as they are just package variations.

there is in fact a 18 version

It is the D version that isn't confirmed.
