Champions Forever Box Variant?

[pceslayer]

I think most people already know of the red Hu variant of Champions Forever Boxing, but does any one know if it had a different barcode than the black label? I stumbled upon the following in my search for the answer.

The common one:
TGX040077
092218001368

The unknown:
TGX040074
092218001337



The box seems identical to the common one outside of the barcode and serial. I do not own the box...

[pceslayer]

Interesting... I have them both so I'll hook up my Turbo with RF and let you know.

The black label Hu had the audio issues and the red played fine.

I think it is awesome that we are still finding new things about turbo games.
+1 for OP.

Ditto on the remarkable find.

BTW, this thread reminded me of the time me and friend met Joe Frazier about 15 or so years back at a fundraiser. He was really cool and down to earth. And just before we left, my friend asked, "Which hand did you use to put Ali on his ass?" Joe smiled, held up his left fist and starting nodding. It was great!

For anyone willing to test their copy, the audio issues only crop up when playing via a RF cable on the TG16.

If the different boxes aren't for the different colored label releases, perhaps one of 'em is the Canuck version.

Interesting.  Any chance you could make a little comparison video for those of us with only Duos and/or only one version? 

[Necromancer]

You're most likely correct, but not all Canuck versions were different.  Look at Darkwing Duck - same box with nothing but stickers to label it as a Frenchy version and replace the UPC.

sorry about some of the quality... I was just trying to do a quick capture on my phone.

The video doesn't do justice to how craptastic the audio actually sounds between the versions during the opening song.

Thanks, man.  That's a pretty big difference.

How many Canadian box variants had a different TGX number? Were they usually just French added to the box and/or a different barcode?

Thanks for making the video! I didn't know it was only RF that exhibited the problem (what is the technical reason for that, anyway?)

The 6-channel high quality sample-based audio requires NEC's patented "Turbo Boosting" technology, which wasn't developed until after the launch of the base hardware.

as i was reading the first page, all i could assume is that esteban had another child to this thread.
