Swansea_Mariner Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I've been wondering about these for a long time e.g. Cybermorph = J9000 and I couldn't find an answer through the search bar. Why aren't the numbers sequential, some are in the 100's, there are gaps and some have an E at the end. Also some games don't provide the number on the box. So what's up with all that, anyone care to elaborate? Sorry if this has all been done to death several years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerosquare Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 some have an E at the end.IIRC, they are games that have been optimized for PAL consoles (whereas the non-E version works on PAL consoles, but with black bars, etc.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swansea_Mariner Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 So there are two variants for some games? That's bad news for the collectors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swansea_Mariner Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 I'm guessing those who thought they had a full set, actually have to go and buy a shed more games now lol! Anyone have the answer to the other questions about the numbers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 If I recall correctly, there are two version of Raiden, two versions of Trevor McFur and three versions of Cybermorph. I have no idea on the product numbers. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Innit Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 If the number on the box has no E, that means nothing. I bought a sealed Tempest 2000 four years ago and the box had no E but the cart did. Yep, I opened it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swansea_Mariner Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 The only games I've got without E on the box are tempest, Cybermorph, dino dudes and brutal sports. Just checked the carts and they do all have E at the end of the number (except brutal sports which has no number at all). Well that's one cleared up.

Stage_1_Boss Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 IIRC, they are games that have been optimized for PAL consoles (whereas the non-E version works on PAL consoles, but with black bars, etc.) Interesting to know if thats the case, also interesting to hear boxes and carts dont always match? Ive bought a few factory sealed games Ive opened lately, Ill have to check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swansea_Mariner Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 Interesting stuff guys and galls! Theme park was a fairly early release but it has no product number on either the box or the cart, I wonder why that was. I remember once seeing a list with some of the games with their product numbers and sales volumes against them, on which incidentally Theme park wasn't listed. Some unreleased games were also on that list and had been issued product reference numbers. Begs so many questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+madman Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Power Drive Rally also has different box art for the EU vs US release, not sure if there are different numbers and/or if the cart is optimized for PAL, but I know the artwork differs.
