I'm not saying it is impossible for some of the games to have come in a white jewel case -- but I bought everything new from the store and I honestly do not remember any white cases. Maybe Valis 2 / FZ 2 did come in a white case? I distinctly remember swapping Monster Lair for a white case, otherwise, everything is a blur.

Oh well. I wouldn't make a very good eyewitness account.

I guess we should ask folks who've been looking for Valis 2 / FZ2 if they've frequently encountered white jewel cases for these particular games.

I bought my Valis II new back in the day, and it definitely, 100% positively came in a white case.

My Final Zone II, which I bought used later on, also came in a white case.

If that is the case (no pun intended!), then perhaps Valis II and FZ 2 inspired me to swap-in white cases for other games? That would explain things, but I honestly don't remember what I was thinking.

esteban,

Different colour trays were probably used. Perhaps after the white tray ran out, they used black, or vice-versa. At one point, maybe they ordered white trays by mistake? Received a good deal on white trays, as opposed to black trays?

It doesn't matter much to me. Considering others also bought stuff new and received a different colour (My Ys Duo pack-in had a black tray, while my GoT had a white tray.). I've never heard of or seen a Godzilla with a white tray, though...

Yeah, but the pack-ins don't qualify as a standard release. I don't expect the pack-ins to conform to a standard like the regular commercial releases. If, as it appears, Valis II and Final Zone II were commercially released in white jewel cases... well, shucks, I wish that had set a precedent. I wish all the releases had white cases... including the HuCards! I think that would have been neat. Of course, I am easily amused...

Final Zone 2 and Valis 2, both may have had additional printings.

I mention this, as somewhere along the line there was probably a second printing of Champions Forever Boxing. CFB has Hucards with red decals, and some with black decals.

This thread makes it reeeally obvious you guys have been talking too much about the PCE/TG by now. :wink:

I have both HuCards. Don't ask.

OK, I was hoping that there was a second printing to fix an error of some sort (ROM), but I don't think that was the case. Of course, I haven't played the game for more than 20 minutes...

PUN TOTALLY INTENDED! That was an awesome pun! :D

Despite the sheer nerdiness of this discussion, it really is quite fascinating. Personally I agree with Mr. Fulci and just think they produced both colored cases for some games.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).
