Jawbreaker - why no cassette media listed in the database?

[FastRobPlus]

The entry for Jawbreaker has a disk with a rarity of 6, but no cassette version listed. Is this an oversight, or is there no cassette version?

Actually, what we'd need before updating the page would be proper information on the different versions available so, basically, an answer to this question and corresponding dumps:

Ah, okay.

I checked my library, and can now confirm that the game was avialable on cassette. Same format as Frogger - foam insert with a rectangular cutout for the tape and a color paper sheet that has 2 folds and wrap over the foam and forms the cover. The whole thing would have been shrinkwapped, which would be the only way the contents would have been held together.

John Harris is printed on the tape and the cover.
May swag at rarity would be '7'

You guys actually have an error on the Jawbreaker page, which is not surprising considering the confusion surrounding the different releases of this game. I'll try to explain it as best I can. I talked about it a bit in this thread...

Basically, Sierra had some legal troubles over the original version of Jawbreaker and was forced to replace it with a new version with altered gameplay (Jawbreaker II). The confusion comes mainly from the fact that the original (disk) copies of Jawbreaker II came in boxes that simply said 'Jawbreaker' on them, like the one picutured here on the left...

That's a mistake. That blue/pink SierraVision package is not a Jawbreaker box...it's a Jawbreaker II box (you can see the silver sticker that says "ALL NEW VERSION" on it. The original Jawbreaker was released in a green On-Line Systems package you see pictured on the right in that page I just linked above. It was released on disk and tape only.

Jawbreaker II was released on disk and cartridge. The disk version came in the box pictured in the link above (mistakenly says "Jawbreaker" on the box and disk label because Sierra simply wrote over the disks and replaced the instruction cards). The cartridge version, on the other hand, says Jawbreaker II on the box and sometimes the cartridge label...

That is the correct Jawbreaker II cartridge box scan you have pictured there. You need to move the disk version box (pink/blue SierraVision box from the Jawbreaker page) over to the Jawbreaker II page. As far as I know, Jawbreaker II was never released on cassette tape (only the original was) and that should be removed from the Jawbreaker II page (unless you have proof of its existence).

Thanks! I know these two entries look like a mess right now, we'll try to rearrange them very soon!
