    Default Slash & burn a ROM collection

    Ahoj!

    I would like advise on deleting parts of a ROM collection. For example I do not think I need both a US and EU copy of 'Addams' Family'.

    Are there any games where the EU or US version is notably better or different than the other? The only one I can think of is 'Operation C / Probotector'.

    I also see things like 'ChoplifterII' & 'ChoplifterII: Rescue & Survive' Is there a difference or is it just the ROM provider being thorough?

    Cheers for any advise on it;

    try checking "the cutting room floor" and the wikipedia pages of that game for regional differences, like if there was censorship or content cut, etc. It might be listed there.

    You will need to do as above dig up info on a per game basis

    There are often regional differences but not always

    The name of the game does not matter some regions add to the tittle others have a totally different name e.g. Story of Thor and Beyond Oasis are the exact same game (though never did check if either one had any game content changed)

    Castlevania on the Megadrive/Genesis does have a regional difference, even though the game name has not changed one has a different coloured blood to the other as part of censorship. <- the only one that comes to mind
