BirdDogGaming | 218 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I need to know if there's a website or forum with detailed information on Game Gear variants before I start going down the rabbit hole. I saw what @MovieTom did already here on the site but I still need information on box art, manual, and insert variations as well. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpgCollector | 900 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 @Braveheart69is your guy. He is a Game Gear expert. I have his list from NA (Also almost have the CIB set with variants. I am missing Sports Illustrated Football and Baseball CIB and Streets of Rage ESRB release CIB) 3 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpgCollector | 900 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) So you know there are 233 CIB games in the USA set plus a Cart Only Sports Trivia that was a system pack in for 234 unique releases. there are 24 box variants plus 1 cart variant that was also a pack in (columns) for 25 variants.

BirdDogGaming | 218 Posted December 21, 2020 Author Share Posted December 21, 2020 @RpgCollector Oh yeah, I've heard he's the Game Gear guy. Can I get that Nintendo Age list? This is great information, thanks. These pictures are just awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braveheart69 | 124 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I believe most GG collectors are using that list I posted on NA back in the day. I used to run the GG database on SA as well, but alas that’s gone. :( I think that list is still pretty current, maybe off one or two, haven’t seen my old list in awhile.

Braveheart69 | 124 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Hardest box for me to track down on USA set is the damn “not for resale” sports trivia (non championship edition). I’ve only seen 2 in my 20+ years of collecting GG. Here’s mine so you know what to look for. So hard to find! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was so upset as it sold for cheap, seller didn’t know what they had. But it was a BIN so someone got lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BirdDogGaming | 218 Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share Posted December 23, 2020 Could someone share the contents included with each Sonic 2 variant? I know there are Made in Taiwan carts and Made in China carts, there are colorful and colorless manuals, registration cards, etc. I also know Sega was notorious for including different inserts with two identical copies of a game, so I understand this answer could vary.

RpgCollector | 900 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) The Majesco 3rd release opened from new, so 100% correct. Black and White manual very cheep, reg card. Edited December 28, 2020 by RpgCollector 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdDogGaming | 218 Posted December 24, 2020 Author Share Posted December 24, 2020 That’s really strange because I have a black & white manual for the game, but I would have assumed it came with the Majesco release... Do you think the Redwood City release got a black & white manual? 9 hours ago, RpgCollector said: The Majesco 3rd release opened from new, so 100% correct. I think all 3 have same manual? The Majesco and Hayward manuals are the same on every page, but if you hold both you can tell the Majesco is a cheaper paper quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think the Redwood City release got a black & white manual? I am wrong. The Majesco release came with the black and white manual. Tons of examples on eBay. What happened to my manual? I know I opened it new. I had 15 copies of this game at one time trying to get a minty box of each version, so I think I got mixed up. Sold them with rebuilt systems years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
