What is a COMPLETE Dreamcast Japanese game?

Post by PeterWar »

Greetings everyone, first post on these forums.

I'm starting a Japanese Dreamcast game collection and so far I've learned that originally each Dreamcast game had a spine card (obi) and a registration card. But I've seen that some games came with a 240/300 point card, did all games have that? Can there be differences between different batches of the same game?

For example, I've seen Super Street Fighter II X coming with a 240 point card on ebay, but the one I have has publicity of other games inside and a registration card (still hunting for the spine card).

My goal is to collect only COMPLETE games that I like, so I would very much appreciate if you could provide feedback on this as I don't want to buy games that are incomplete.

No idea if every game came with a point card. If your criteria for buying is that it includes that card, I think you won't find a lot of games to buy :) I've bought many Japanese DC games over the years, which included the spine card, oftentimes tucked into the manual, but rarely see extra paper bits like this.

The good news is that sealed copies come up somewhat regularly for common titles, that may be the only way to attain it. Good luck, your're starting 2 decades after it's day.
