Need Label Help on 20th Century Fox Games

[Tempest]

Ok, Mr. Label Variations needs some help.

 

I was looking over the list and abount to update the 20th Century Fox section when I noticed that most of the descriptions say "No Fox Logo". I have absolutely no idea what their talking about, all my games have the 20th Century Fox logo (even the Sirius games do in the corner). Does anyone have a cart without the logo?

I think the cryptic codings in the list in this instance is talking about the cart casing itself. I know that Fox created games in (at least) 2 styles of cartridge. One has the 20th Century Fox logo embossed on the reverse, and 1 is a "plain" cart casing.

 

I hope this is what you are talking about.

Your right! Thanks! I'd never have figured that out.

 

Do you know anying about the size of the word "Presents" on the Activision labels? He has both small and large listed but I'm having trouble determining the size.

OK-

 

I know the answer to that one too. Break out your rulers, folks, because this is a REALLY SUBTLE variation.

 

The small presents measures 5/16" (about 8mm)

The large presents measures 6/16" (about 9mm)

 

Trust me - this really is a variation, not just my imagination (I have my ruler and 2 carts right here for proof!)

Wow that is subtile! Is that something I should keep on the list? Do people want such little variations or just the major ones?

 

Thanks for the info though, I'll add it to the Activision section.

I guess I'll stick by my opinion here that "a variation is a variation." No matter how minor, I think it is best to keep it - even if just as a footnote in the list.

I suppose so. When in doubt leave it. I'll make the decision on what stays and what goes at a later time (after I've polled everyone and gotten alot more feedback).
