| I've always been interested in any differences, and have collected a number of variations as shown in this full collection picture (as at April 2008). The most common variation is a number on the front cover which appears about half the time, then there are variations on cartridge labels and sometimes in manual layouts: |
| |
 |
| |
| These clearly all look the same on the outside, but there are subtle differences: |
| |
 |
| |
| On the insides, cartridge labels can be different: |
| |
 |
| |
| The manual may have 10 languages: |
| |
 |
| |
| Or it may have 9 languages: |
| |
 |
| |
| It may be a matt or a glossy cartridge label: |
| |
 |
| |
Two differences are shown in the next picture:
- The main difference can be seen here on the bottom left of the manuals, with the index number and the Philips logo missing from the left hand box. All videopacs seem to have 'numbered' and 'non-numbered' variations.
- If there are major colour variations, I'll keep an example, as can easily be seen here in the ship in the bottom right corner. These colour variations do not appear to be as a result of light bleaching or fading, but probably the result of different original printing locations. |

| In France every videopac has French only language versions printed on a single sheet, everywhere else in Europe has the international manual with multiple languages. Below is the only videopac I have found that comes on a single sheet English only version: |
