Is there a list of games that came in box?

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.

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 Necro 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.

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.
