Title: Flash Hiders TGXCD1039 and Variable Geo TGXCD1049
Post by: Black Tiger on April 01, 2018, 11:27:29 AM: Anyone have pics of Flash Hiders?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_Hiders

Apparently the Turbo version was released on Feb 18, 1994. Two months after the PC Engine release.

No mention of Arcade Card support for the TTi version.

Variable Geo's date is only "1994", the year after the PC Engine version's release.

It takes a real "Sherlock Holmes" to figure out the codes :)

Post by: Black Tiger on April 03, 2018, 09:37:56 AM: It's not an April Fools joke. I was checking the list for something and Flash Hiders first stood out, not because it doesn't exist, but because someone came up with a volume number. Then I saw a very specific date, which no other Turbo games have.

This kind of stuff stays up for years, but Wiki takes down any legit corrections people try to make.

I had the same issue with some MegaCD games that were "released" but do not exist. Eventually I was able to get it removed but it took months and me making an account.
