EA Genesis questions

[Happy_Dude]

Are the EA games with this

worth any more than normal?

Also is there a list of EA Megadrive games? EA imported most
of their games here so they're all Genesis branded but I have
3 that have the Megadrive logo (Toughman contest, Road Rash and Australian Rugby league)

Saying the EA Sports "Limited Edition" versions aren't really that uncommon. I'd say it's similar to the tone of the "Not for Resale" Sonic the hedgehog cart.

As for a list of Megadrive games in general, you can search the database at the top link that says "Online Rarity guide" and see if anything comes up for Megadrive. (It most likely will.)

All European EA games are branded 'Mega Drive', though 90% of them use Genesis carts.
As GranAmChandler said, the DP database will list all EA games (search all Genesis games with 'Electronic Arts' in the Manufacturer field).

Thanks for the help.
The list gives an idea of what games where released but not
which where re-branded. Like I said all but 3 of the games I'v
come across are GENESIS. That's 100% Genesis. 2 or 3 have
an "Electronic Arts Australasia" sticker slaped on the front or
an "Official Sega import" sticker. but otherwise no effort seems
to have been made to localise them.
Mabye it's different in europe. Mabye EA dumped their unsold
Genesis games down under. Mabye I'll find out why I'v got
so many Geny games when "All European EA games are branded 'Mega Drive'"
Surely it couldn't have cost too much to reprint the inserts
especially when they had already been designed (for europe)

sorry for the rant, I'm just perplexed.

Australia got an odd mix of MD/Genesis games overall - often you got Euro imports (usually with a different UPC sticker), sometimes they are Ozisoft-made AU "originals", and sometimes (as with most EA stuff) they were Genesis versions. Some games were distributed there in more than one of these forms. As to why certain titles were relased in certain forms, that's a mystery known only to the publishers.

Aussie releases in general are a nightmare to try and catalogue, and I don't envy Antipodean collectors interested in pursuing a complete collection. The best listings I've seen so far for almost all MD releases are at Guardiana (http://www.guardiana.net), and here's a link to their current list of all AU releases that somehow vary from the US or Euro version (http://www.guardiana.net/database/search.php?string=&field=title&develop=all&editor=all&console=0&genre=all&country=8&players=all&special=none), which might be of some help.
