Ok, a couple weeks back I got that big lot of 25 sms games and 100 atari games (the one with zellers sea hawk)

Well, I finally got around to adding the games to the database, and I had 2 that weren't in the DP guide. Golfomania and Dynamite Dux. So I came back to the site and found them in the DP europe sms guide.

The games have had canadian UPC's stuck over the original UPC on the instert, but are otherwise identical. the UPC says 'UPC/Canada' on the top and lists the model number (MK-7502 for Golfomania, MK-7029-22 for Dynamite Dux) on the bottom of it.

Now, my question. Do these count as actual North American releases, or just Canadian releases? Or for that matter, are they even considered released in Canada?

There are alot of "European" games that can be found in Canada, they're just the European version with a UPC sticker on the box, so they don't officially count as North American releases.

Ok, thanks. That's pretty much what I wanted to know.

I cannot confirm nor deny the availability of Ultima IV for SMS.

However, if we were posting in another forum, I'd give you some details about my copy of Ultima IV for dreamcast. ;)

If you can find Ultima 4 for SMS here in the US it will cost you at least $75

I doubt that. If it were true, I'd be importing EVERY copy I saw in ebay.
