also, i'd say 99% of europeans DO speak english. it's mandatory in elementary school in every country i know of, and apart from the big dub-countries (france, spain, germany & italy) most of us watch tv & movies with subtitles. either way, couldn't you just add an extra image to the page for the NTSC-U/C snes case illustrating that rectangular cart? maybe even cross over a SFC/PAL cart if you wanna be explicit about it. tho i suspect most peopleinto retro gaming would be pretty thorough about their orders.

And you can always ask before sending big lot of US cases to Europe that is the person ordering sure what they order.

Thanks for the info about how most Europeans can read English, the stuff about subbed English shows, and the suggestions for labeling and listing the Game Cases.
I didn't know they taught English in most grade schools, over there.

The current setup, on my site, is to show five thumbnails for each product, that are click-able, so you can see larger photos.
At least one of them will show actual carts in actual cases; that should help.

I also have plain-text Region Info in brackets, in the Title Area, of some of the Game Case's Tables, like (USA/CAN/MEX) and (EU/JP).
I need to tweak that a bit.

I like the idea about showing Cart Shapes, and have non-compatible ones circled and a / through it.
I could add a row of small cart-shaped icons to each Game Case's Table, to accomplish that.  ;)

I'm a big fan of visual-aid, and love websites where you can tell, at a glance, what products are compatible with what stuff.

Yep English starts at 3rd grade for almost everybody here in Finland, and it's maditory language thruout school soif you go thru the higher education you'll end up studying it for 12+ years.
And thanks to internet there is also incentive to learn it nowadays.

When I was wee lad the level of interest in learning varied strongly, but noways almost everybody here speaks (or at least types) it.

Our generation that has grown with the internet and all kinds of (subbed) TV shows, movies and games is pretty fluent with english. Not like those silly countries who dub everything.

Yeah and I still have habbit of keeping the subs on (even though I don''t need them) and my younger siblings prefer to leave them off even after only 2 years of studying = that's the power of internet, especially Youtube.

And even around my nephew who hasn't yet started studying Englis we have to be bit careful in what we talk around him (again thanks to Youtube he has  picked quite a big vocabulary).
