This is a wiki task that requires more thought or peer review. An important issue that needs to be solved, which will appear at the top of Sega Retro:Todo until this message is removed.

We don't currently have a means of handling this. Sometimes magazines print the same thing twice, and I'm conscious these tables are already set to get massive.

For example:

The same review of The House of the Dead 2 is printed in both issue #0 and issue #1 of Dreamplanet. The layout is different, but the text is exactly the same.

Some other reasons why this matters:
  • The very last issue of Dreamcast Magazine (UK) reprints old reviews
  • Sega Master Force and Sega Force Mega share a Game Gear section
  • Bog-standard translations of reviews exist. I think all the Mega Forces line up, and there are GamePro translations. This is an issue for books too mind you.
  • It's probably pointless to list a dozen minor variants of GamePro en Español, but I think we should do that anyway just in case
