This category probably needs to exist but I'm not happy with the name. Almost every EA and early Accolade/Ballistic cartridge is identical between the European/Australian and North American releases. A good chunk of Game Gear cartridges are like this too, as are a bunch of Master System ones (although slight variations exist for the ® symbol on the Sega logo, so it's not always obvious). Thoughts before a big text replace? -Black Squirrel (talk) 11:57, 19 January 2014 (CST)

It's honestly a little tough as a lot of these duplicate-region carts use different boxart. For what it's worth, when this comes up with discs I just duplicate the data in the scanbox. - Scarred Sun (talk) 14:58, 19 January 2014 (CST)
I double stuff up too, but I'm still not sure where the best place to put the files is
e.g.

AerialAssault GG EU Cart.jpg 100px BatmanReturns GG EU Cart.jpg CrystalWarriors EU cart.jpg etc. are in the EU category

AtLM GG US Cart.jpg Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse GG EU cart.jpg Chessmaster GG US Cart.jpg GGShinobi GG US Cart.jpg etc. are in the US category

the boxes are different, but the cartridges are identical between the two regions, so could go in both categories -Black Squirrel (talk) 05:32, 20 January 2014 (CST)
