I found these games on the site; because these are repeated titles, I suggest that the surplus be deleted, cleaning up the RU's Game Menu:

Retro Uprising - Arcade - Blazing Lazers (http://retrouprising.com/game-menu/game/487/) - American version
Retro Uprising - Arcade - Gunhed (http://retrouprising.com/game-menu/game/1644/) - Japanese version
Retro Uprising - Arcade - Blazing Lazers (http://retrouprising.com/game-menu/game/7824/) - Arcade conversion - without significant changes

Retro Uprising - Arcade - Streets of Rage 2 (http://retrouprising.com/game-menu/game/3890/) - American version
Retro Uprising - Arcade - Streets of Rage II (Mega Play) (http://retrouprising.com/game-menu/game/5834/) - Arcade conversion - without significant changes

I see they are for different systems mostly, thought that was ok?

You're welcome. I suggested it because identical versions are confusing.

I see they are for different systems mostly, thought that was ok?
All Blazing Lazers' versions are virtually identical; Gunhed's only difference is the name, and coin-op even offers continues =P

Streets of Rage 2' Megaplay version only change is not show options. In fact, all Megaplay games seems the same. Could be erased by the same argument.

I love both, but PC Engine and Sega Genesis aren't arcade platforms.

The same game on multiple systems is acceptable.

Come on. If a conversion, OK. I still don't understand why people play arcade conversions when they could play the original, but OK.

But the exactly same game! I could have mastered Blazing Lazers three times in a row, for example, since there are no differences.

I believe we should delete all the duplicates and unnecessary hacks. Would make room for new games.

Gun Head can go as it violates or policy on regional versions on the same system.
