You took the words right out of my mouth :-) I think, the reason for this is, that there is a difference from the collectors point of view (which I can't follow exactly). An extra category (Original, PAL/NTSC Conversion, Pirate, Hack) might solve that problem. Then you could easily use a filter for the originals. And finally the world would have an answer to the question "How many original games were ever done for the 2600?" :-) Have fun!
