Hello RF Gents and Jens,
A few new variants have been discovered recently. Variant collecting isn't as clear as we thought it was! Anyways, all game variants known to date are detailed
here. The somewhat new ones are UPC stickers on
Fighting Force 2 and
Monaco Grand Prix, as well as misprints for
Marvel vs Capcom and
ChuChu Rocket.
Recently I made a few purchases on ebay, and they include some curious items that are poorly documented online. Much appreciation would be given to anyone who can clarify some of these mystery items. So, show-and-tell time!
First off are the Web Browser discs that we know and love.
a) Are any more browser discs out there besides the ones pictured?
b) Did Web Browser 2.62 ever have a case or sleeve?I've seen a few copies of
Web Browser 2.62 floating around recently, and it is always loose. Here's a pic for comparison with 2.0
Now here's a new find. I found what seems to be Web Browser 2.0 in a sleeve. The sleeve version (II) also has demos listed on it.
...and a back view.
Surprise! The disc in sleeve II isn't Web Browser 2.0, but is actually the Dreamcast Magazine vol. 6 GD-Rom demo. It makes sense, the demos printed on the sleeve are a perfect match.
Pictured here is a third version of the Web Browser 2.0 packaging. III is also in a sleeve.
... and a back view
I don't wish to reveal what is inside because I would like to confirm with other collectors if it is the correct disc. So here's another question concerning item III pictured above.
c) Does anyone else have the Sega/Net version of the Web Browser 2.0 sleeve? What is inside?That's all for browser discs. It is time to move on to the next find. For reference our colorful buddies, the Generator demo discs, are pictured here.
These discs have an annoying tab that makes it difficult to get inside.
The exception is when that tab goes missing.
At first I thought someone cut it off. But then I examined it closer. The front is identical, and the back is all text.
When you see it...
...you'll do the Sega Swirl!
That's all for the picture show. I think I've found a new alternate sleeve for
Dreamcast Magazine vol. 6 GD-Rom and
Generator vol.1 demo disc. Once again, I would appreciate any help on my browser disc questions. Please comment below or on the
DP forum thread.
