Im currently looking for one more box for my collection, however im beginning to wonder if it actually exists...
The one is question is the PAL Version of 'Lakers Vs Celtics & the NBA Playoffs'
Up until this point ive stuck to the Digital Press release guide and its been fantastic, but this game is puzzling me! Who was the main writer for the PAL version? (anagrama, James Howe?)
As we all know, EA Released their games worldwide on the exact same carts. Look at any EA Game and it will say in small print 'For play on the Sega Genesis'. However obviously the boxes are branded up as Sega Megadrive. Im guessing it saved printing costs, so they could fund putting a useless yellow block on their ugly carts...
I own the cartridge for LVsC and it too is branded up as being for the Genesis in small print.
Now if you look across the net, youll find various copies of this game for sale in the US. Ive noticed eBay Germany has one for sale too, however that one in Germany too is cart only.
Also, if you check Guardiana, youll find that the entry for LVsC is very vague.
There is no proper scan for the PAL Box and the drop down list of people owning the game is 1. And once again, this one person only owns the cartridge.

Now putting together those facts, along with the fact ive been hunting for MD games for nearly a decade, it really does seem fishy that it hasnt surfaced, nor has any information or scans...
On these release lists for PAL MD Games, where did the info for this game come from? How was its existance confirmed?
So my final few requests are this:
1) Does anybody own it? If so, please please please can you photograph it for me so i can sleep again!
or 2) Please provide info to prove it definately exists
Also, it might be worth looking at a few of the Genny versions you guys own if possible please!
Anything will be a fantastic help and I appreciate any reply that ill get :)
Thank you!
