I wish I could say that is the first time someone has told me that.

I think variants should be seen form each individual system/region like in your Shenmue 2 example to make a complete US X-box set you can’t count the Dreamcast version for a US X-box complete set. In other words different hardware/region = different game in my opinion.

As far as import Vs. release I think as long as the company that released the original game does something to show that they intended for the game to be released here in the US then it’s an official release. One of the most controversial games that fits this is SMS Sonic with the US UPC sticker. In my eyes you do not have a complete US Master System set unless you have a UPC sticker Sonic. I do think it’s funny though every time you take the US Sonic out of the case it turns into the EUR game.

We usually just go by Crabmaster and Duke.Togo, but I think we'll get used to it.

Neither of us live close enough to spray paint one there.

@understatement: Interesting thought. Even though Sachen games aren't know to have been officially released in the US, there were clear intentions to do so. Would that make games like Huge Insect that were imported in some small numbers unlicensed US releases in your mind?

Hum, personally I consider pirate/bootleg type carts in a whole other league. Most of the time pirate/bootleg carts don’t have any indication where they were released such as PAL, NTSC-J, NTSC-U and so on.

Rereading my post I might need to clarify that as long as the company or someone with the company’s consent that released the game does something to the game/packaging to show that they intended for it to be released in another region I would consider that a release. Basically if someone tried to get there Japanese game released here and no publisher picked it up and then a store like EB/GS imported it and sold it it’s just an import. If a publisher did pick it up they would have to change something: NTSC-j to NTSC-U, the language in game or on the package, the shape of the cart, or the UPC just for a few examples. I don’t know of a single official game release where there was no change from it's foreign counter part.

But games released from companies such as Sachen aren't pirates or bootlegs. They are completely original releases. Some Sachen games were published in the US by Color Dreams under the Bunch Games moniker, but Huge Insect was a direct importation of carts from Sachen themselves. I know some people refer to these games as "pirate originals," but I don't think including games from Sachen in that grouping as they weren't a pirate company at all.

I'm really just playing Devil's Advocate, but this is a very interesting topic in how games should be classified.

So I'm listening right now.

I want you to know that Episode 6 will be up tomorrow.

Episode 7 will be 2 weeks after. I lost my first 1.5 hours of gameplay footage so I'm behind. And this game could make or break me...
