Hey everyone, super quick question. As my European collection draws to completion I want to explore some of the US Exclusives. I believe there are around 12 in total out of the 114 game library that were exclusive to the USA. Can anyone tell me what they are of if there is a list please?
Just to be clear I've talking about the likes of Alf, Montezuma's Revenge and King's Quest as an example.
Thanks

It seems like there might just be 4 games. The 3 you mentioned and Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego. A fifth if you count Sports Pad Football which is just Great Football but you use the Sports Pad.

Interesting, I luckily have Carmen and Sports Pad Football. So at least I know now. For some reason I thought there were 12.

These are the unique releases... obviously some of them were released in Europe under different variations:
Alf
Astro Warrior (stand alone release)
Captain Silver (Different artwork and missing 2 levels)
F-16 Fighting Falcon (released under F16 Fighter in Europe)
Great Ice Hockey
Great Soccer (Released as World Soccer in Europe)
Hang On / Astro Warrior (stand alone release - not pack-in)
Hang On / Safari Hunt (stand alone release - not pack-in)
James Buster Douglas Knockout Boxing (Released under Heavyweight Champ in Europe)
King's Quest: Quest for the Crown
Marksman Shooting / Trap Shooting (Released built into consoles and with Safari Hunt on Combo Cart in Europe)
Montezuma's Revenge Featuring Panama Joe
Rambo First Blood: Part II (Released under Secret Command in Europe)
Reggie Jackson Baseball (Released under American Baseball in Europe)
Sports Pad Football (Released under World Soccer in Europe)
Walter Payton Football (Released under American Pro Football in Europe)
Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? (Technically never released in Europe, but commonly found)
Although, if you want to talk major variations there's also these:
Bomber Raid (Activision Black)
Rampage (Activison Red)
Cyborg Hunter (Activation Black)
Galaxy Force (Activision Silver)
Although I'm pretty sure you have all of those already.

Thanks Andy, that's great. I'll probably look to add the Silver version of Galaxy Force as well at some point but a great starting point. Cheers pal.

That's an obvious one and one I spent ages looking for last year! Not sure how I missed it off my list... but yeah!
Are you going after the UPC sticker variations as well?

You could possibly add Captain Silver to the list as technically it's different to the European version with it only having 4 levels instead of 6 (Cut down from 256k to 128k)
