I didn't know Doom has a Black Label Jewel Case
Mario Mania:
Hence my work.

Scroll down to DOOM
4 variants, all in a row.
It does not come in a jewel LONGBOX, as the person I replied to stated. It does come in a normal CD jewel case, but not the original jewel longbox.
*edit* I see where the confusion comes in. The person I replied to retroactively edited their post. They originally said "jewel longbox". They edited it to say "jewel case" now. No wonder you tried to correct me!

So lately, I've been working on finishing up a longbox collection. I actually started pretty close to around where Goodwill Hunter did, but since he had cleaned out the city of games I've been piecing it together slowly since then. My problem actually was / is that I wanted to buy these all in person, and after the local GameStops stopped carrying PS1 games the supply of them dried up to almost non-existant. I had been hovering around 80 for a while, and decided that this year I would get a bunch of them at the MGC, and then I literally found none I was looking for. Ah well, no problem... I'm picking up the remainders through eBay mostly now, and have about five to go.
Anyway, something I've noticed is the two different versions of Wipeout -- well, technically three different versions. Although I wasn't planning on collecting the variations, I'm rather tempted to pick this one up, as the art of the games is what drew me to collecting these in the first place (honestly, I've played like three of these games) and although I like the original art better, the second run is pretty cool too.
Can anyone tell me how rare the second cover design is, or how rare the slip cover is? Any indication of value on either of them? It it is too expensive, I'll just say what I was planning on saying with all the other variations -- that's all right, I just want one of each!
Thanks! Can't wait to finally put this collection to bed. Then, I only have stupid challenges for myself, like PAL Dreamcast and Neo Geo Pocket titles

I bet I am a good reason you did not pick up any long box games at MGC this year, I walked out with 20+ unique long box games and had them all in my hands within the first few minutes of the vendor area being open.
As for the Wipeout, have no real idea on value of the varients. I know I have the cardboard US picture, and the japan cardboard with the US slip cover. I found my slip cover version at a local salvation army earlier this year for $2.00, so no way to use my copy as a price indicator.
Good luck finishing the set goatdan, I am going to be at 69 games by the end of the week, but I am collecting all the long box varients, no jewels though.
Damn! I guess that is what I get for running the show! I didn't get in the vendor hall until Sunday.
What's kind of frustrating about it all too is that a lot of the games that I need are stupid common sports games. I really thought that I'd end up finding these around town or at the show over the past three years, but no dough (Striker 96, FIFA 96 and VR Soccer all come to mind). I picked up one in that time, so I decided it was time to start looking for the remainder off eBay.
If anyone wants any extras, PM me. I have like 10 extras floating around I think, and I can check them out for you. Would love to trade for some of the last games I'm missing, or upgrade some of the ones I have.

I still have a bunch of long boxes left at my house that I didn't bring to the show, PM me a list of what you need and I'll take a look.

I have a slipcover copy of Wipeout that I would consider selling or trading.
Let's see here, this is basically up to date -- I should toss this up with my Dreamcast collection thread too or something... I am the most concerned about the 'need everything' list with the exceptions of Battle Arena Toshinden 2 and WipeOut since I have those and will care about making everything minty after I'm done getting it all. As you can see, I'm really missing a lot of the relatively common games.
Need Everything
- Assault Rigs
- Battle Arena Toshinden 2 (I have it, it just is really bad)
- Cyberia
- Criticom
- FIFA 96

- VR Soccer
- Wipeout (2nd Cover Variation or slip cover variation)
Need good box and instructions
- Discworld
- Hardball 5
Need good box
- Bottom of the 9th
- Doom (would like another disc too)
- Johnny Bazookatone

Whoo-hoo! As of today, my PS1 Longbox collection is complete!
I still have no real idea why these games were so attractive to me. I really like the art, but I can't say that I've played almost any of these titles (excepting Raiden) yet. But, the Saturn which has basically the same boxes, I don't like the art on those.
Regardless, whatever it was, after about 7 years of on-again, off-again hunting and finally caving to eBay... I did it! Collection complete
