SpaceFlea, you're at the top of my list already. I know you completed yours, so let's see some pics. . The same goes for ya'll.
Okay, I'll post the DC collection when I get home on Sunday.
Here is the complete US set w/ variants. I'm only missing a couple minor variants of which I am aware (Unreal Tournament - Black Disc Re-release & NFL2K "Sega All-Stars" - Round NFL License): http://i456.photobucket.com/albums/q...amcast/001.jpg http://i456.photobucket.com/albums/q...amcast/002.jpg http://i456.photobucket.com/albums/q...amcast/003.jpg http://i456.photobucket.com/albums/q...amcast/004.jpg http://i456.photobucket.com/albums/q...amcast/005.jpg
I will post my JP and EU stuff too as soon as I get a chance. And the hardware as well.
Spaceflea is missing Hot!New! variants too . There are sticker and printed bursts for the games (save MK Gold), and Speed Devils had a 'clean' cover. Some additional Web Browser versions also. Here's my retail complete DC collection (save the Speed Devils variant and the handful of demos and a few Official Dreamcast Magazine discs)
Are you saying that there are two versions of each of the Hot! New! games (one with a sticker and one with a print), but MK only has the sticker? And do explain the Speed Devils "clean cover" variant... This is news to me. I didn't care for the browsers since they aren't games but, since you mentioned others, I'm interested. Hell, I probably have them sitting around somewhere. I was actually sad that I didn't really have any reason to buy US DC games anymore; so this actually makes me kind of happy to get to scour the DC stuff a bit more vigorously again.
If we want to get really picky on the variants we could also add all of the games that came with an additional French manual. I don't know what all games had them (could be all - perhaps you have an idea), but I have 5 or 6 games that have the standard English manual in the case and a separate French manual that was factory sealed against the back of the case. The ones I have are all later releases so maybe they started to add the additional manual near the end of the console's life. I know I purchased two of them new from a store in Kansas, so it's not just a Canada thing. What thoughts do you have on those.
There are indeed Hot!New! games that have a sticker and the burst printed onto the manual. MK Gold only got the sticker as far as I've ever seen. I've had a few people tell me their copies were printed, but they never were in the end. That would have involved a new 'foil' cover and it wasn't probably worth the cost for them to do. The French manuals shrink wrapped are purely a Canada thing. They just made it down to the states via distributors. Those arn't retail variants. Not even necessarily done by Sega, but by various distributors. I wouldn't think about counting those. In regards to Speed Devils http://digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?t=146965
