8bit & 16bit CE releases... anyone know of any?

[twistedsymphony]

Very Soon the database will support every major 32bit and newer platform...

I was wondering if anyone knew of any 8bit or 16bit Era Games that received the CE treatment.

I think their may have been a few "first edition" releases (those that had a slightly fancier package when initially released) but I can't think of any actual CE editions.

Please post up any info if you know of any.

I think, and since this will make me feel horribly old, The Legend of Zelda Gold Cartridge was supposed to be a limited edition. Not sure though if it fits in a Collector Edition Category. Just the color was different (Gold) and you had to pre-order it.

that's exactly what I was thinking of when I mentioned "first edition", though I never owned Zelda on NES so I wasn't sure....

I think there were a few other games that came on colored carts too.

EDIT: searching around apparently there was a Spider-Man & Venom Maximum Carnage Collector's Edition Box Set for Genesis and SNES

Also this interested "NES Classics Collection" for GBA

For the SNES, there are several PAL "big box" versions of certain games, which come with a Player's Guide. For example, Super Metroid, Terranigma, Starwing, and some others I forget... I'm sure these all technically count as Collector's Editons?

Also, I would also be inclined to add the Posterity Edition / First Print for the recently released Pier Solar & The Great Architects for the Mega Drive, as it differs from the more common Reprint Edition

There are also several PAL Mega Drive games which came blister packed with promotional POGS, so I don't know whether you'd also include these?

Likewise, there are plenty of SNES & Mega Drive double packs, such as those from Codemasters, which were two standard retail games bundled together in a cardboard slipcase

On the SNES Killer instinct had a collectors edition with a big box and a Free watch included. Remember seeing this on ebay few months back

I believe nintendo came with earthbound and gameboy adapter big box. The box comes with guidebook and game.

What about the Limited Editions for Ecco the Dolphin on MD and the Lucky Dime Caper for MS? Those are rare but very well known.

Certain versions of a game called comix zone for the megadrive/genesis ame with a music cd if that counts.
