DefaultGen | 5,714 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 (edited) Not my guide, but SegaAge got taken down and this is basically the only thread I regularly visited there and it's not hosted on GoCollect. Copy/pasted selected posts: Backed up from: http://segaage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=42&threadid=176402 Edit: LOL I didn't realize @final fight cd was a member here, sorry dude. Here's a link to the latest thread: U.S. NTSC Sega CD Collector's Guide Version 2.0. Changes warranting a new guide:-Consistent updates: Yes, developments in the world of Sega CD collecting are pretty sparse, but new items are still being found. Shai'tan did a great job with the original thread, but a more active member needs to take the reins.-Documentation of more than just the games: Games and variants are cool. But so are strategy guides, console boxes, game inserts/contents, and accessories. Let's hear about any physical media associated with the Sega CD.-Replacing missing pictures: Most of the pictures from the original thread are gone. They will return. Hopefully. Maybe.-General overhaul: Not to say Shai'tan didn't have a nice looking thread, but this is likely going to look and be constructed slightly different from the original.So let's keep the discussion, albeit slow discussion, going. If you opened a sealed game, post what you found inside the box. If you find the elusive Bram Stoker's Dracula Version 2.0, post a picture of it. If you just want to say you love the Sega CD, let's hear about that love affair. Always a work in progress....GamesBelow are the standard, retail games. No variants. No console pack-ins.

What Is X'Eye Multi Entertainment SystemVariants/DemosAbout half of the variants come from console pack-ins, while the other half are re-releases with some sort of sticker addition, change in box material, or altered box art. It is the general consensus the common Wonder Dog Green is the variant, while the ever elusive red box is the original. Sega CD/32X combo games not included.1.)

Colors of Modern Rock is thought to be a mail away exclusive. Dragon's Lair Demo CD, as the name implies, is just a demo.1.) Batman Returns Original Score2.) Colors of Modern Rock3.) Dragon' Lair Demo CDUnofficial Releases Most of these unofficial releases were previously slated for an official release during the system's lifetime. It appears some are full blown games while others are mearly betas. Does Marko and the Smurfs contain the code for the intended US release or are they repros of the import versions? Dunno. Most of these games are - or were - sold through Gooddealgames. Collectors are paying a premium for sold their 'sold out' games, such as Marko, which in a way makes them the "official unofficial" publisher. Homebrews and hacks are also included in the list. 1.) Battle Frenzy - gooddealgames.com - sold out 2.) Battletech: Gray Death Legion - gooddealgames.com - sold out 3.) Bug Blasters: The Exterminators - gooddealgames.com - sold out 4.)

Of course it was. Which color variant of Compton's Interactive Enclyclopedia was packed with what X'Eye?

Popfuil Mail: Magical Fantasy Adventure-"Attention! Read this first card!" card OTHER NEAT POSTS FROM THE THREAD: Here's a scan of a Batman Returns score I found a few weeks ago. I haven't been able to find much about it - it appears Gracenote has it in their DB though (but FreeDB, musicbrainz, etc. do not). It has a different track count and track lengths from the CD-DA on the game disc. And here are some additional tip books and the Pitfall strategy guide (with Sega CD/32x specifc content) I have a Loadstar strategy guide on it's way I'll scan and post. I've also come across the Official Sega Genesis and Game Gear Game Strategies books (Corey Sandler, Jason Rich, etc.). I don't have any copies of those (yet), but will post if I find them. I've just started reading the Sega CD Sourcebook, but so far it's really interesting and provides a reasonable amount of information about how Sega was pushing the system at the time. ---- 7.) Radical Rex-"Attention CDX users!" card8.) Snatcher-Konami registration card9.) The Terminator-"Robocop versus Terminator" poster10.) Vay-map-"Official strategy guide" card11.) Who Shoot Johnny Rock?-Gamegun recommendation card-American Laswer product card-"Live motion picture action" pamphlet --- There are two more books I found, but don't have yet: Road Rash 1 - 3 Strategy Guide (including Sega CD, 3DO, and Playstation) & Awesome Sega Genesis Secrets 5. Here are images for the Loadstar strategy guide, Awesome Sega Genesis Secrets 3, the Digital Press Collector's Guide, and Genesis Collected Works which includes info on the Sega CD. --- There it is. As opposed to the Sonic CD NFR which came with an appropriate sized manual: As did Ecco and 5-in-1 Just for fun another shot of the 3 Sewer Sharks together. All 3 came in a jewel case with a common manual as best as I can remember. Money shot of all three Compton's discs. I never owned the slip case for the blue text variant, but as best I can tell it was the same for all three. HOWEVER, the manual I had with the blue copy was different, so there's that to look for. I also know you said it's difficult to determine which versions came in which X'Eye box, but anecdotally: my red box came with Prize Fighter, Compton's Black text with a small yellow slip for a free update when the first rev was completed, and Top Hit Sampler while my blue box came with Prize Fighter, Compton's Red Text, and Top Hit Sampler. Are there actually two versions of this? The manual says one thing while the slipcase says another. The two pictures in the first post look like they're showing the same thing. --- I can't answer for Joe Montana because I never owned that particular console complete, but this is the 3rd Sewer Shark console I've owned and they've all had a generic CD jewel case. I do have a Joe Montana NFR somewhere around here and I'm pretty sure it's in the same jewel case, but I couldn't tell you if that's normal.

supergamboy | 61 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Hey guys, glad to see those threads/guides recycled here! And good that they're still viewable on Internet Archive. Here is the link to my spreadsheet, which I am am still updating from time to time (mostly, slowly converting to the old format to the one I'm currently using): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IKheEp9_Ww1YFwj_1MvMF_1Vw8Ed6nksmDy9-BfA9nQ/edit#gid=0 I do plan on creating a new thread here on VGS to accept additional input on variants or other inserts I might be missing. The spreadsheet captures sealed games that have been verified, variants, print runs, etc. I haven't had time to be thorough, but the plan was to fill in all of the data to allow things to be sorted by "1st print" or "cardboard only", things like that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
