Strange Megadrive Find

[Happy_Dude]

I have 4 dupes of NBA Jam and it appears that I haven't
checked them all becasue I just opened one and it has a
Genesis label x_x And one of the others has a Megadrive
label placed over the top of a genesis label
Both in MD carts.
I'v checked all my other Acclaim games and found nothing simmilar
Very strange :hmm:

Hah, well I've heard some pretty shady stories about Ozisoft (at least in the Master System days), so that doesn't exactly surprise me.

I used to have a couple Neo Geo Pocket Color games that had English labels placed over their original Japanese labels.


...word is bondage...

I asked the same question last July. My PAL UK copy has a red Genesis sticker on the cartridge.

Ah, I have two stories.

One: I found out my old copy of Hogan's alley was just a Japanese Rom gone throught a 60-72 transcoder.

Two: My Sonic was the american label over the MD label.

I had a recent experience with a copy of Quackshot. The box was a genesis one, I open it up and I find a MegaDrive Version with the manual. it was quite curious.

Anyway, being NBA Jam, I wouldn't be too disappointed if that were me.

Nintendo did that a lot with early NES releases. Old NES cartridges are a good source for those adaptors.

I had a simmilar experience, I picked up a boxed copy of altered beast at an eb one day, when i opened it up it had the megadrive version AND what looked like a homemade converter in the box. (was a us version box) very wierd.

I think Winter Games, andmaybe some other US Gold games say Mega Drive on the cart, though it was definitely the US version. I've seen this on two Winter Games copies.

What, a PAL-NTSC converter? Which one?

humm:

i've had a Mortal Kombat 2 with a genesis label and a megadrive one slapped on top

also with a megadrive i got boxed, a 'Triple Score' cartridge, with a megagames 1 sticker over the top!!

I've come acroos this with the Winter games cartridge I had. The sticker was peeling and I pulled it back and it was the sticker for the megadrive. it had no region protection because it worked in both pal and ntsc systems. Any other games that had this phenomena???

All MD/GEN games are region-free (a few later games have lockouts)
As for the stickers my opinion is that they where all produced
in the same place and sometimes lables got mixed up.

All MD/GEN games are region-free

All games before late '92 were universal, but it's a mixed bag after that.

I've heard a few similar cases of re-labelled carts (Sonic 3D is another - some PAL carts have Genny labels underneath), and it was probably just done to re-use excess copies from one print-run, rather than trashing them.
