>you missed out when this game was fresh so now you have to be cursed by this ostentatious green color in your disc library

Why did it have to be this way?

stop making retarded threads

Live with it, repro it, or pay the paypig price on ebay, retard.

But it’s the exact same game, right?
>>
>>12799230
A game being labeled greatest hits was instructing me to buy it
>>
>>12799240
Not always. Sometimes later runs patched over things.

Metroid Prime infamously went "no fun allowed" for its Player's Choice rerelease by patching out movement exploits and sequence breaks.

If you've played the greatest hits you didn't beat the game.

i also remember being very fucking confused that there was a random giant knuckles in the level due to how the back of the platinum box cropped it

Crash 2 green label is better because they added analog support

Second prints like greatest hits or platinum hits or players choice are meant to have ugly covers, like books, to make the original edition more desirable for collecting, whereas the reprint gives you a lower price but less desirable for collecting. You know, just like books and comics.

>>12799528
There's no difference between the black label and GH version of crash 2
>>
>>12799230
>four different variants (excluding regional exclusives)
>two different black label variants
>neither black label is the original first print run, but one of them came out after the Platinum release
Collecting specific variants of retro games just seems like a nightmare that's simply not worth the effort

Worst thing about platinum games was that you lost the disc art. Every one of them just looked like this, no matter what.
I'm pretty sure the greatest hits versions kept the original discs, but I might be wrong.
>>
>>12799823
They did. The media itself looked like any PS1 game disc, just the case went with the gaudy green to remind you of your failings.
>>
>>12799827
PS1 GH disks had black and white art, which I never liked.
>>
>>12799230
it was half price, worth it.
>>
>>12799843
less than half price, in most cases
>>
>>12799240
nope, Greatest Hits releases often times patched / added things
one example being Spyro 3, how the original release of the game was missing a few music tracks and had to re-use previous tracks for later levels. The greatest hits re-release added new tracks for those levels.

God, I hated that shit. I had the Player's Choice as a kid and was so confused why those tricks I saw on Metroid2002 weren't working.
>>
>>12799230
yeah the green is ugly as hell
now the ps2 red greatest hits I can get down with
>>
>>12799230
Same reason Arizona labels their teas 99 cents or why Metallica released an ep called the $5.98 EP. Everyone knew greatest hits were $20 or less so if you walked into a store back in the 90s and they were charging more you'd know you were getting ripped off. If they looked the same stores could have easily bought more at the new price and kept charging whatever they were selling them for before the price drop.

the green is soulful

>ass banditpoop
Nah

Eidos Greatest Hits were the worst, because they added a stupid demo select screen at the start of every game just so you'd always know you got the TJ Maxx version.
>>
>>12800245
demos are cool tho
>>
Personally I enjoy still being able to pay reasonable prices for PS games, so I don't mind that collector hate the green.
>>
>>12799529
Players' choice look good though, even with that ribbon thing, the golden aspect is nice to the eye. Probably it's a psychological thing but the gold color makes things look good.
The green on PS1 greatest hits is jarring. It would be better if it was a different shade of green, but that one looks like green screen eyeraping stuff
>>
>>12799230
Not so different from missing out on the shadowless pokemon cards.
>>
>>12799257
you're a speedrun tranny. no sane person ever knew that shit.

Only spergs care about this kinda of thing

it's based thoughbeit

>>12799823
But you play with the disc in the console, not seeing a image or a cover or printed disc.

This stuff only bothers you if you are mentally imparied or maniac about some minor stuff.

vidoegames are mean to be played not to be deposited in some shelf form 45 years.

Call and find out, friendo
