The bottom flap is exactly what I was checking on.  Most U.S. box bottoms had a black background with big white writing for the name of the game.  There are a few that have a white flap and tons of small black writing.  I believe most of the French/Canadian boxes had a white bottom.  I just wanted to confirm the U.S. Legendary Axe had the white bottom.

OK, I never noticed that before. Interesting.

I didn't plan on it.
All is well. :)

My us version of Legendary Axe box has white bottom.

And regarding Usa Turbo Duo system hu card pack in. Several years ago I heard that some people got loose Dungeon Explorer Hucard as pack in some of these were said that they were bought from Sears. But I have never seen Turbo stuff at sears myself so I cannot say that this information is accurate. I have seen Turbos at Montgomery Wards..Toys R Us..Software Etc. Waldensoft..Babbage's..EB Electronics Boutique..some small local video game stores...The Good Guys that is where I got my brand new duo in 1997 for only $50 am not kidding !...

anyways about Turbo Duo I have owned several boxed turbo duo systems I only got the loose Ninja Spirit with them I have not received Splatterhouse or Dungeon Explorer with my boxed duos now I only own 2 boxed Turbo Duos and 1 unboxed Turbo Duo...

Curious as to what everyone thinks about adding Insanity to the site?  All of the packaging says PCE, not Turbografx.  This being the case, do you think I should add it to my site as a Turbo game or should it be considered PCE?
All is well. :)

The walls in one of the stages in the game spell "PCE" and the packaging is in both English and Kanji (Japanese). Up until then I considered it to be a Turbo title. I think it is still safe to categorize it as one since it is not region specific. I am adding it to my own personal checklist as a Turbo title.

Since it was conceived, programmed, produced, and distributed in the good ol' U. S. of A., I consider it to be a Turbo title.

Ok, based on the responses so far, I listed Insanity on the site.  I listed it as 3 different versions, and here is why.

CCAG 2009 Lightscribe Version - 20 of these were made to be distributed at CCAG 2009.  It is on a Lightscribe disc and is numbered.

Preorder Version - Professionally pressed disc, it is not only numbered but it also comes with the Lightscribe soundtrack disc.

Regular Version - The professionally pressed disc released to the public.

Just a side note:  The CCAG version and the Preorder versions may or may not be signed based on what they buyer requested when you ordered them.

If any of this is incorrect please let me know so I can correct it.

The site is awesome.  Great job and thanks!  One request, can you post a pic of all the games together?  I just want to see what all of those games look like on a shelf, :D

Anyone with two sealed copies of Takin' It To The Hoop deserves to be flamed.  Hell, you're practically begging for it!
