Hello,
I am just getting into collecting retro games and consoles.
I am new to the hobby but recently decided to collect from all the main consoles of the 80's. I started this hobby as I have a teenage son who is into games. In my youth I was as well and thought it would be a cool father son thing to do. I recently ran across a storage unit for sale that was previously owned by an old game store that closed down in the mid. 90's that was just full of new and used console games. I thought this would be a great way to get the collection started so I bought it.
I came across a Colecovision Donkey Kong that I have never seen before. Most of the Donkey Kong games I have come across were in sealed cardboard boxes but I have a few CBS versions in plastic clamshell cases and they are shrink wrapped. The clamshell case itself is RED and the label on the clamshell has a gray background under the artwork. I have about 6 of these and one of them is in pretty rough shape while the rest are pretty nice. Does anyone know the story on this box variation? Do I need to open the one that is in rough shape to inspect what is inside? Will that help determine what it is?
I have heard it's Australian, A rental copy etc. but nobody knows for sure. Any help would be appreciated.
