Is there a list of games that came in box?

[Ayce]

As I've been working on the design for my shelf that I'm building I've been unable to confirm how many of the games were sold in a cardboard box and how many were sold in just a jewel case. Does anyone know if there is a list that has already been compiled showing this information... or anyone who already knows.

I found the info I was looking for.

For anyone else curious: all HuCard games except Keith Courage came in a box; the TG-CD syscard was vinyl sleeve only, and the Super System Card was case only.  For CD based games, all Super CD games were case only and all regular CD games came in a box except for the three booby discs, Buster Bros., Vasteel (which had a cardboard sleeve), Splash Lake, Sherlock Holmes 2, and Syd Mead's Terraforming (the latter two are branded as Super CDs but function as regular CDs).

If memory serves me there are 110 boxes.

When building shelves, everyone also remember to segregate your games and file Final Zone, Valis II, 3-in-1, Ys Duo disc, Implode, Meteor Blaster, Insanity, Pyramid Plunder, and Revival Chase SEPARATELY. Thank you.

Does anybody know which CD games came with white jewel cases?

[bob]

such collectors.

Does anybody know which CD games came with white jewel cases?

All of them, all of the games came with white jewel cases, all of the jewel cases were white, white they were, white, white, white. So white!!!! OH MY Goddaru!!!! White!!!!

I have no idea why I felt the need to type that, sorry.

Were you seriously asking or just motor-butting? :3

[MrFulci]

Necro missed one; Exile: WP had a cardboard sleeve, also.

I forget all the games that came with boxes, however if I see a list, I can ramble off whether it had a box or not. Necro's list seems on point, for the most part, though.

[Nazi NecroPhile]

The first four VestCunt mentioned are the white cased official US games.

I pulled this together from info on this site and from my personal collection.  It lists:

Name
Format
Release Date
Developer
Packaging
Package Type

As always if anyone has any corrections or updates please PM me!

Bikini Girls, Hawaiian Island Girls, and The Local Girls of Hawaii were never boxed, Ys Book I & II also came unboxed as the pack-in, and the neither of the syscards came boxed.

Thanks NecroPhile, I will get the list updated :-)

As NecroPhile mentioned about the 2 different Ys 1 & 2s. The differences aren't just that the boxed one had a map, and the other not.

The CD art is different on each CD. The pack-in Y's has, "Turbo Duo" stamped on it. The CD version has, "Turbo Grafx CD" stamped on it. It's not just the text that is different, the lay-out of the title, etc is different on each CD.

[Nazi NecroPhile]

There are even more differences (including differing versions of the pack-in), but superplay's database does not go into such detail.

[MrFulci]

What are the differing versions of the Ys Pack-in?

The only thing that varied with the Duo pack-ins, that I recall at the moment, was some people got Ninja Spirit, and some got Splatterhouse.

[bob]

Didnt some duos get dungeon explorer too?

[MrFulci]

I don't know about Dungeon Explorer, could be. I do know, 100%, that some got Ninja Spirit, and some got Splatterhouse. Mine had Splatterhouse.


What I'm curious about, is what NecroPhile mentioned, that there are differing versions of the Ys pack-in?

Also, to clarify about the Ys pack-in, and the boxed CD version. The CD artwork is the only difference, game is the same. It's like how there are cards for Champions Forever boxing that are Red, and some are Black, but it's still the same game.

[Nazi NecroPhile]

There are two different versions of the Ys pack-in: one printed in Japan and one printed in the US (they're labeled accordingly).  More than half the titles have similar minor packaging differences that have nothing to do with game play.

Really? That's pretty cool. That's a minor difference, though. I have to look at my pack-in to see if it's USA or Japan.

I know the Turbo grafx controllers sometimes have different "stamps" on the back, molded plastic. I forget exactly what the differences is, it's something like one is just NEC, the other NEC technologies. Something minor like that.

The CD are and Pack-in CD art are pretty different though, not just small text. Very different art on each CD, not quite the same as the color swap on Champions Forever.

I remember a discussion about this many years ago here, and I posted a pic of the CD art of both. I probably still have it around here.

Oh, not box related, but for collectors, the Dungeon Explorer 2 CD game had a reprint. Yes, it was reprinted, a normal pressed CD, complete with a Xerox copied instruction manual!

Actually, did that DE2 CD reprint have any differences?

I bought a reprint when TZD had it, but I sold it some years later after I bought a complete DE2, with the normal instruction manual and rear CD case insert.
