I posted this in another forum in which discussion was going on regarding the Genesis BB Championship II cart:
"Not to get too off topic here, but...
I read about so many people over the years that say that their Genesis (or SNES) collection will never be complete without these ultra-rare competition/championship carts. But why? Why should these be listed as games to complete the collection in the guides?
My point is, these are *not* retail releases. They had to be obtained a special way (ie: win a competition) and never available to the public in the way that retail games were. In my eyes, they are *almost* prototype status in a sense. I think they should be listed as such in the guides, and that a "complete" Genesis or SNES (or what have you) collection should consist entirely of retail games only. Games that could have been gotten by any average joe. Maybe these should be listed in a "Special" category in the guide. Maybe I should convey this message in the other forum regarding the guide
At least that is what I think about it. Awesome carts to have (I have SNES comp carts myself), but should not determine what a complete set for a said system is."
Now, maybe this was brought up before, not too sure (I didn't find anything), but what do YOU think? I think that this is just fair to the collector honestly. I think *true* complete sets should only consist of retail releases...and these are really not of such a nature.
