You should really keep it in it's proper ancestral home: Schloß Orth. There is an ancillary storage facility in Texas that I curate.

 

I don't want to drive every time to Austria when I want to hug my game.

 

The castle of my choice lies just around the corner: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eltz_Castle

 

Or the modern version (only 175 years old), it's even closer in my hometown: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ehrenbreitstein

 

Cmart will never get the game...unless he pays admission. ;)

I take the opportunity to say that I had never seen before some of the variations shown here (and I guess I'm not the only one).

Australian Donkey Kong , Brazialian LV Poker & Blackjack and Canadian Popeye and Super Cobra over all.

 

Thanks for sharing!

I love this thread. Maybe throughout November I'll bump some of my other favorites. It's variation time!

Jason, may I suggest this thread ? It needs some updates, but the first 8 posts are awesome (posts #3 and #7 above all) !

 

If it's one of your favorite threads, I leave the honor of bumping it to you :)

 

yeah, it's variation time! :thumbsup:

 

EDIT: ah, of course, also this is great with some never-seen-before gems. I leave the honor to you

:) Just about all of the best variant threads are Cmart ones! I think he still owes us a few he promised a while back.

Necro'ing this thread because we don't talk enough about weird variants lately. Also because I've reached a depth of variant collecting that surprises even me. One thing I casually collect (ie: only when I stumble upon them pretty cheap) is single-game handhelds, including the old electro-mechanical ones (had several as a kid, so...). I only have a few dozen, but it's a neat collection to poke at from time to time.

 

Today I picked up a "spare" of Tomy's Digital Derby at a garage sale. Figured I'd shelve it for now, until I noticed - it's a case variant. They actually went and re-did the case for the bloody game. 2 different countries of manufacture (HK, Singapore) as well. And it's not like I'm looking at the U.S. vs Canadian versions - both have bilingual instructions on the back! So they actually re-tooled the physical game during its life. As far as I can tell, all of the mechanical and display parts are identical, it's just a case mold variant.

 

Take that, cmart! (I have absolutely NO idea what kind of forum exists that tracks this level of obscure variant collecting, but I'm sure it's out there...)
