3rdStrongestMole | 430 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Any serious variant collectors make it over from NA? If so, is there a variant thread on here tracking who's got what, screw variants, etc. I haven't searched the site yet, and thought there would be more time before NA evaporated. I feel lost lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code Monkey | 2,006 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I'm probably one of the biggest variant collectors here. I'm working on a spreadsheet outlining which games came with which differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH | 4,903 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Yes, I think there are many of us. What system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdStrongestMole | 430 Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 NES generally. I feel empty without the resources from NA, but don't have the knowledge to get a functional thread going with enough data to be helpful. It's nice to here others are already working on some of this. I've mostly gotten into screw variants, but now I'm trying to broaden my horizons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhleo | 2,184 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Signing in real quick. I consider myself a variant hunter and I’m here getting ready to post at least three of my lists soon. An updated version of my NTSC List, the PAL-A List, and PAL-B List. From there, it’s pretty simple for me to post variants lists. Things like Hangtabs, Screw Variants, and Major Art Variants are already well documented on my PC. It’s just a matter of me figuring out where to come up with some time is all! I also have a list of PAL Small Boxes, PAL Exclusives, PAL Name Changes, and Sachen Variants as well. The only thing that’s lost that I don’t think I can rebuild is the Comboy / Asian / Hong Kong set and the Brazilian licenses set....I have the list, but no photos.

DoctorEncore | 3,691 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I'm very interested in NES NTSC variant boxes and was planning to start a thread based on my own experiences and the work that was previously done on NA. It would be broken up into Major, Moderate, and Minor categories with pictures. If @ThePhleo gets to it first, I won't be offended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasonSushi | 16 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I would copy all those variant lists from NA. The community made them. Also I think a separate variant collecting sub forum would be nice. That way every system can have its posts. Might be a little too much. Just an idea. I dabble in some variants. Not serious though. I was working on the N64 ones before they exploded in popularity. I got most, but missed a few. I try to pick up the rare variant carts for my NES set and replace the common ones.

RoyalT | 161 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I enjoy hunting for variants and have been actively chasing Canadian variant Genesis games. There was a great resource on the old segaage site, hoping we can transfer that info here. Did any of the few active segaage users make it over here? I was royalt on the old sites as well.

austin532 | 467 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I do miss the database and the variant listings. Hopefully we can get one started here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jxmx3 | 11 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Im a big Variant collector as well. (3/5 screw, errors, factory mismatch, etc) Pretty sure member "Hybrid" was running the "NA » Odd/Rare Variants Running Total List 3.0!" thread. Hopefully he or someone else will pick that up on here.

Woobie | 46 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Ya I am a variant collector for NES as well (priority on 3/5 screw stuff). Hybrid ran the old thread. If someone is able to dig up old post / redo it here might as well. Alternatively we can just start a new one here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rman | 23 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Oh awesome!! man it is sad the NA stuff is gone... You can access it by the search function but it barely works. Every word you type will search for every word separately on gocollect. So if you search 5 screw variant; Every post with 5 in it shows up, every post with screw, and every post with variant...

Hybrid | 424 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Which is one reason why I wanted to do it fresh for this site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it has that basic level of functionality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey bud, I made it over! If you're able to port my Canadian Genesis thread over here that would be fantastic! All the images there link to imgur so there shouldn't be any risk of the images dying. I'm also making sure that my spreadsheet is up to date with each of the 60 Canadian games discovered so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supergamboy | 61 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I find it easiest to do a Google search for Nintendoage (or Segaage) and then the approximation of the thread title. Usually I can pull up the links to the (broken) threads - and even if they're broken, I at least know the exact name of the thread. Then using that exact thread name, searching GoCollect using quotes has been fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPX | 1,369 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I dabble in variants on occasions. I don’t focus so much on the cart but more the box cover, particularly with unusual labels or cover labels you rarely see on common games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
