Questions on the rarity guide.. did the following titles ever make US releases

Baby boom, dizzy , cosmic spacehead, hurricanes, truski, and pengo

I could have sworn pengo did (saw it complete in box back in the day)

anyhow, can someone confirm these games are us releases, also, are there any box shots out there... tried searching the net with no luck..

don't want some of these games to end up like Barbie vacation adventure for genesis (Joe and a few other genny collectors like Portynoid (excuse my spelling Dave) know exactly what I'm talking about hehe)

Thanks in advance!

I picked Cosmic Spacehead loose from a fleamarket back in October. The guy had other US releases of GG games, so it's a reasonable assumption that it was a US release. Cart only, so I can't get you a box scan.

My guess is their all UK releases.. we might need an update to the rarity guide no?..

Fantastic Dizzy and Micro Machines are the only U.S. releases from codemasters I can confirm. Hurricanes I have only seen in European auctions. Pengo, I have a distinctly European cart and have not heard of U.S. release.
I just bought Cosmic Spacehead and CJ Elephant Fugitive from a mixed batch of U.S. and Europe carts at a local shop.

I found this thread and I don't want to start a new one, so can anyone confirm the other games?

They might just be prototypes.
