Ehhh... pretty sure there's a few that were uniform, but they're all small libraries, at least in the US: Virtual Boy, Sega CD, Saturn, Jaguar... but yeah, by and large they weren't uniform.

Though I'm not sure really if the companies in charge of the system were really to blame for that so much as the publishers.

Part of why I love this place:  The standardization.  I really really wish someone would undertake the task of standardizing Genesis covers to red stripe though.  Possibly enough so that I might try to learn gimp on my next stretch of time off, but the fact that there's a whine from my desktop's power supply (aka the only Windows machine I have currently) makes that less likely.

Indeed, plenty were quite uniform.

Japanese and US saturn, Japanese Dreamcast, PS1, gameboy/GBC/GBA, n64,

I'm sure none were 1000% perfectly consistent, but quite close for the ones I named.

Virtua Fighter 2 for the Saturn.  They just HAD to be different. ::)

Plus the pack in games that came in regular CD jewel cases. 

But you are right, 99% of Saturn was uniform.

Also, PS1 not uniform at all UNTIL they switched to CD jewel cases.  The long boxes had three different styles.

for the atari 2600,
put Ms. Pacman next to Pacman or under "M"?
"Realsport" games under "R" or the sport?
