Title: New Here, Question about Label Variation
Post by: wwwebb on March 07, 2013, 10:23:01 PM
Hi all,  I am new here, came here due to hearing the Collector Cast.  Tonight,  I started adding my 2600 carts through the collection tools. 

When adding the Imagic game Trick Shot, there were two in the db, one with a "text" label, which mine has text.  However, when looking at the picture,  the one in the database has English text only, where mine has English and 4 other languages on the label. 

From hearing the Collector Cast, I had heard that some users like all of the various variations for labels, and such being in the database, but wasn't sure what to add or even how, partially because I don't know why this one is different.  All I have is the loose cart, no box or other material.  Thanks in advance for any help.

Welcome to the site.  I would say that the multi-language cart would likely be a European release.  Since there don't seem to be other regional entries in the database, you should submit a game variation (see Submit tab at top).

Well since Techie beat me to the punch.

Is THIS your cart?!? (magician style? another bad joke on my part....)

Personally, I prefer AtariGuide for my references. :P

Here's the manual even:

Yes, that is the one.. The DB here only had US versions (text and picture).

Edit:
Thanks for the advice...I made the submission for this version.
