I just began AES collecting like last week officially.

I'm seeing "Dogtag" and really don't get what the difference is between that and regular AES or even what it represents.

Insight anyone?

Dog-Tag

A special Neo-Geo “Seal of Quality” that was added to the spine of early US Neo Geo carts by SNK USA (seals of quality were a popular trend started with the NES). The logo’s prominent feature was a rabid dog (taken from a magazine commercial), hence the term dog-tag. This was later replaced by the standard “Neo-Geo” symbol with “Advanced Entertainment System” written in the middle. Early European carts never used the Dog-Tag and instead used the AES symbol. See Euro-Tag

Easy answers... stupid questions....

It seems the "young batch" have no intention of researching first...

I usually do research stuff. More so than usual. But for some reason I assumed this wasn't something I'd find a reliable answer to through a search engine.

It's okay. I'll make it up to you. One day you'll all be proud. I swear it.

Some of the early American AES games had them. They were a counterpart/competitor to the NES's seal of quality.

Typical joe8, can't bother to read the thread and know that the question has been answered.

They should introduce a dumbass tag on here for people like you who can't read.

Not to be confused with Dogg Tags, which is when neodogg rubs his junk on a game. Both enhance the value and are great conversation starters.
