    I think you've got most of the facts straight. It's the European version of the cart you're after. The Mega-Drive was the European (and Japanese) version of the Genesis.

    As for playing it, maybe someone else can answer that quesion as I hav no expirence of playing a UK cart on my Genesis.

    You need a convertor to do it, and a good one too, or a mod.

    I must point out, maxlords, that my PAL Zero Wing Mega Drive cart plays perfectly in my Model 2 Genesis without the use of a converter, and that it contains the full-text introduction in all its translated glory.

    One caveat, however--I purchased this Genny 2 used, so unless I open it up I can not state with any certainty that it was not modded by a prior owner.

    If it makes any difference to my previous statement, I also have a PAL Herzog Zwei Mega Drive cart that plays in my Genny without a converter.

    Keith, in my first post, I said that you don't need a converter to play the PAL Zero Wing in a Genny 2. PAL is the same as European.

    To add my 2p, Zero Wing will also play fine on a Genesis 1. The majority of pre-1995 PAL games will run with no problems on any Genesis, and plenty of later games also run OK.

    I still need to get a copy of the damned game... preferably the PAL version, but I'd take a Japanese copy.
