Title: Submission Repeatedly Rejected By the Website
Post by: leej07 on August 04, 2014, 07:36:42 PM
I need some help. I have a copy of a Jeopardy! game that is not listed on the database. The game in question is a PC release, developed by Encore Software and published by Sony Online Entertainment. The only version of the game published by SOE I can find on the database is on the Playstation Network. Naturally, I decided to rectify the issue by submitting the PC version. However, I have tried, over and over multiple times to submit this version, yet every time the site gives me an error message that states the game already exists in the database under that name, region, or console. Believe me, I have checked, double-checked, and then checked the database again, just for good measure: this version does not exist in the database whatsoever. Why can't I add it? What's going on?

Would you be able to post a picture? I know my PC identifying skills are lacking, but between all of us, we can figure out if it is a packaging variation, international release, or whatever may be the case. UPCs and Part numbers are very helpful too.

I can try. How do I add pictures to a post?

I might add it is unlikely to be international because I bought it at Best Buy here in Louisiana. I haven't opened it yet, so it still has the original price tag.

The UPC is 756059114426.

Standard BBCode for forum functions.
Jeopardy had numerous releases. I can take a look tomorrow.

It is being rejected because the website only checks to see what the title is.

If a game has the same title it will tell you the game you have must be a variant of an existing game with that title.

Since PC has been getting the same games released for ~40 years now that is certainly not always the case.

Searching North American IBM PC for Jeopardy returns 10 results. Jeopardy, Jeopardy! Jeopardy (1993 Release) etc
You can see how people got creative submitting the game with a different title to get around the required "variant check".

I added it here:

I credited you for title addition. Please submit the rest of the missing info including the removal of all the extra !!!!!
