NLS Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) OK so I got the handheld collection going (wrongfully named "Nintendo Game & Watch", when many games are not from Nintendo and definitely many are not of the Game & Watch series and don't even have a clock)... So I see the box showing "GAME&WATCH MULTI SCREEN", "DONKEY KONG", "Nintendo(R)". Nice... I have this game... And here the fun starts (and my questions stem)... In the description under the box, it says "Donkey Kong (Nintendo Multi Screen)" and "(Coleco)". Erm... It can't be "Nintendo Multi Screen" AND "Coleco". I double click it and I get Donkey Kong by Coleco. Which is a table top and definitely not multi-screen! (and also not Game & Watch) I thought... where is my favorite Donkey Kong? Then it came to me... "maybe this "version" thing? And selected "show versions". Well... this did nothing (I am not in Big Box). Not sure what it should do. When I right click, I get two menu items (available both when "show versions" is selected or not), where indeed I can choose to play Coleco version or the real Nintendo Game & Watch version. So here are the questions: 1) How can I default to the correct original version? (also shown in description and box) It should be an option to either select a default version OR the system to remember the last used one (both are nice options). 2) How can I decouple those two games as definitely they are different versions of "Donkey Kong" (in name) but NOT of "Donkey Kong (Nintendo Multi-Screen)" as the description says! Or the box! 3) Can I submit the above (in #2) back to games DB and correct what I consider error? (maybe it gets evaluated? How is this thing handled in general?) Maybe if decoupling is not done, at least the "different versions" describe the game as plain "Donkey Kong" (get the difference?)... 4) Even with real alternative versions of some game, is it possible to indeed see them separately if we want to? 5) Still talking about alternative versions. If for example I also have Donkey Kong for C64 or for arcade, is it possible to see those grouped as alternative versions? 6) What is the purpose of "show versions"? Something for Big Box? ...thanks!
