Ikrananka Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) This is really a question for CollectorVision. I'm checking out some of the games I bought this year and updating the ColecoVision Collector's List at the same time. So, I got to Hustle Chumy and saw the "Super Game Module Required" logo on the box. Checking out the instructions there's no mention of an SGM being required (although the Credits do state "SGM ColecoVision's conversion by Crazy Boss") and when playing the game on a stock system (no SGM) it appears to play and sound exactly the same as when I play it with an SGM attached. So, my question is if the "SGM Required" logo on the box is a mistake or if there is some subtle benefit that the SGM provides that I'm just not seeing or hearing?

I might be wrong (I was not involved into this project at all) but I think the SGM is optional for this one It must enhanced sound/music when SGM is used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to get the correct info for the Collector's List and will note it as improving sound/music if that's the case. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youki Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I think , there is a "standard" for this logo? Depending of the color of the log, it means the SGM is required or that the game is improved (generally the music) if the SGM is plugged?

Crapahute Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I think it is partly my fault. When I do the packaging and manual, most of the time I only have a rom (beta or not) and no memo or instruction from the author or programmer. There’s a lot of guessing in all I write and sometimes I don’t have the capacity to test everything. As this game is a port of the SG-1000 or 3000 version, I must have thought that you needed the SGM to run it. My bad, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
