Looking for: complete game / console images
« on: April 16, 2009, 10:46:47 AM »
I was wondering if anyone knew of any sites that had images or details about what a 100% complete CD or HuCard game would include.  So, for example, I know that certain Japanese games have spine cards that are needed in order to be considered "complete."  This is the kind of info or pics that I'm looking for.  Let me know if I'm not being clear.  Thanks.

This site would probably be your best bet as we can tell you what a proper version of a game would include, but we may not have actual images for you.

Quick rule of thumb: if it's a disc game, then it has a spine card; if it's a HuCard, then it doesn't.  Like any rule, there are exceptions (Street Fighter II comes to mind).

I was trying to search for our old posts about this. I had a detailed one.

HuCard, Sleeve, Special Jewel Case (different designs: old gray ones with sticker on back, newer ones with hooks for HuCard sleeve, etc.), Foam, Instruction Manual, Registration Card (sometimes), Pamphlets/Inserts (sometimes, such as Konami)

I'll let others describe standard CD stuff (and the wacky stuff: double-CD cases for manuals/maps, or the "only-slightly thicker" jewel cases with front covers that can handle thick manuals, etc. etc.)

P.S. I purposely made this post confusing! :) It really isn't hard.
