Thanks for the heads up. We'll convert the proto entries to the PAL ones and fix the typo.

One more that I'm wondering about. The guide lists Sears Chess but the Sears one I have clearly says "Video Chess". Is there a Sears Chess variant?

Also missing from the PAL list is:

Beat'em & Eat'em - Lady in Wading Playaround double-ender. It seems this game was also released in PAL format. Two have surfaced pretty recently and they both turned out to be PAL. I would suggest a rarity 10 for this, since it is as hard to find as the other Playaround double-ender

[digitalpress]

The reason why you don't see those PAL entries is because until very recently we weren't populating classic systems with games that were released outside of the US unless they were unique in some way.

Obviously our charter has changed since putting the database and collection info online.

Ianoid is the current owner of the 2600 import section. Would one of you PAL collectors care to assist him with these entries? If so, please e-mail me at digitalpress@email.com.

i helped with the PAL database over at AA - i don't know if it's possible to create synergies. i will contact the coordinator of the Atari PAL database and discuss things.

One more that I'm wondering about. The guide lists Sears Chess but the Sears one I have clearly says "Video Chess". Is there a Sears Chess variant?

-Mike

I just noticed this today...every time I've seen it it's always "Video Chess".

Sears "Chess" is listed as an R6. Does this rating apply to Video Chess, or the "Chess" label variation (that no one can seem to find)?

[digitalpress]

It IS Video Chess. The entry is an error. Either that or someone knows something that no one else knows about and after all of these years of 2600 research I think not. I'll have the entry corrected for tonight's update.
