@ Wrk Didn't know it was a competition, but I'll sleep easy tonight knowing I can compete here while you can't.

also nice work Dballin

dballin · January 2013

I wasn't kidding when I said one of everything that wasn't a dreamcast or model 1 saturn. >_> Oh and I guess I don't have a Pico either.

I'd probably concede to Johnny anyway. He has nicer things than I do.

I'll have to take your word on that, seeing as you are the expert on both of those subjects....BOOOOM

@ DB.. nah your stuff looks good man. I'll get us a pic of my Pico and I think I have a game gear not shown as well.

I have the pack-ins list (that needs a serious update) on Google docs as well. Basically you steal a spreadsheet from someone create a spreadsheet in Excel or right in Google Docs and make it public, then post the link in the thread. You can link the pictures within the document.

That said, I actually like the pictures in the first post as well, but it might be nice to have the Google doc to link for other forums.

wrk · January 2013

Yeah, the pictures look awesome ..... right now. But when this list inevitably get's huge it's gonna be a pita to scroll all the way through them.

Johnny · January 2013

The red JVC box is most likely to have the Red Comptons. The black text comptons I saw was in the standard blue box, in fact if you look at the picture on the blue box it shows the black text comptons.

Pics in the thread are well and good but it is nice to have a go to resource that you can save and take with you.

supergamboy · January 2013

Its too bad this forum doesn't have a spoiler option. That's a really perfect way of embedding pictures while also not having it take up a whole page.

dballin · January 2013

My black text compton's came in that box. We're both going off sample sizes of 1 which isn't very good practice. I think any box is most likely to have the red version anyway since that seems to be the most common. The back of my model 1 TMSS Genesis has a picture of the HDG version sitting on top of a SCD, but that's not what was actually in the box just what they had a picture of so that's not too reliable.

If this is to be believed the black ones weren't around for very long at all since the X Eye supposedly didn't even come out until September of 94? http://www.allgame.com/platform.php?id=18826 Don't know how accurate that is, but only the earliest of the early sold units would have black versions.

dballin · January 2013

I've seen more reds than anything. Blue is the only thing that I know I still need for the tiny little NFR set which is admittedly less obnoxious than 'the only thing I need for the SCD as a whole', but you hang in there champ.

SpaceFlea · January 2013

Well, I think the white text is the most common.

final fight cd · January 2013

nice work johnny.

and yeah, i liked the idea of having all the pics in the thread. it's a nice pictorial guide right in the forum. but if people feel a google doc is the way to go, than a google doc it is.

however, with a google doc, say a picture is linked from a website or from a forum post, if that website or post is edited/deleted than the link won't work anymore, right? and the picture is gone for forever, right?

Correct, but my advise is to save the picture yourself and host it from a photobucket account or the like.

supergamboy · January 2013

I've also seen Comix Zone carts with NRF stickers so there may be a system bundle for that as well.

Pulled from ebay

Model 1 with no game included (front)

Model 1 with no game included (back)

Here is a variant for the Sonic Spinball release:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sega-Genesis-Bundle-/230919016585?pt=Video_Games&hash=item35c3d89089

That link doesn't really have a useable picture, but more to show that there is more than one style for the box.

The U.S. console variant boxes are so darn plain like a nun's unshaven smoo, you poor bastards.

yeah they are plain and boring. but, they are pretty much just stickers pasted on the box, besides the lion king, sports system, and core system.

i may or may not update the first first. i may just wait until i get a google doc up and running. once again, thanks for the heads up molotov on the finds.

wrk · January 2013

The Sonic, Altered Beast, SoR2 and CDX boxes aren't just stickers.

yeah, you're right. my mind was just thinking about the model 2 boxes.

nieds16 · January 2013

Well, I tried to post a different one based on a photo I was send on ebay, but it won't let me save it at all. The best I can do is copy and paste. I've never seen this 6-pak packaging before.

final fight cd · January 2013

the pic is too small, but does it say "6 games inside." if so, that's already been identified.

if you go the first post, all the systems are listed with what has been identified.

nieds16 · January 2013

Yeah, it does. Sorry. I must have missed that picture.

Edit: just looked back and saw the 6-pak box but not the one what says 6 games inside.
