WOLFCHILD + GLOBAL GLADIATORS Game Gear, US releases?

[DreamTR]

I need some verification that these were released in the US by Virgin. I can't seem to find a cart or box with US font ANYWHERE. ANyone have any ideas? I saw a Super Off-Road US cart on eBay, so I am assuming that came out here, but these two are baffling me.

Also, please do not show me the Digital Press Rarity Guide, that needs updating and has games on there never released in the USA.

I'm not the most serious GG collector, but I have about 190 domestic games and I have neither of those.

[DreamTR]

ianoid: How many of those 190 are boxed?

[ianoid]

I'm not totally serious about the boxes- probably 30 or 40 are boxed at best.

Global Gladiators has the Virgin logo and the Virgin splash screen when fired up. I played the game many years ago and it was a virgin version also. Actually, I am unaware of another version, but I only collect domestic.

ianoid, How can you NOT have Global Gladiators? It's a terrific game.

EDIT: As an added bonus, next to the Virgin Games logo, is this information,
Virgin Games Inc
18061 Fitch Avenue
Ivine, CA 92714

JJNova: That screen comes up on the European version. I need to see scans of the box/manual/cart.


Ianoid: Anything you think I might need? I can offer some pretty decent money for the ones I need.

I'm an Idiot. I didn't realise we were discussing GameGear, I was talking about the Genny version. I apologize for not being more observant.

I have Wolfchild for the GG. I hadn't seen it before when I picked it up but there it was. I don't know if it is a US release or import. But it does have the White background on the label as I recall.


Yeap..just pulled out my GG collection here. The cart has the older first gen release labeling on it like my Marble Madness does. It has the Virgin Games logo in the lower left of the lable. It has the blue 1 player logo in the lower right. Below that is the Sega Game Gear logo. But using the older laser slant font for words Game Gear. Under the Virgin logo is simply says?:

The picture itself just shows some big red glowing eyes with the Wolfchild title at the top.

I'll try and get a pic of it and post it.

Cool...while looking for it..I also found my import for Magical Puzzle Popils by Tengen...hehe...funky Japanese art...hehe...

Jesse: The logo on the Wolfchild is key. If it uses something like this:

The logo on the box has that checkered Game Gear European look to it.

That POPILS game came out in the USA =)

Yeap...that link looks just like my Wolfchild cart here. So I guess I have an Import of it.

My marble madness is also likely import as it looks the exact same.

My popils game is definitely an import. It has the japanese all over it and the artwork is on the left hand side of the label only with the title in english and japanese on the right hand side. I has the newer looking game gear logo on that cart.

Since the GG wasn't region locked, I know I must have a few more imports. I actually bought all of these locally here in Tulsa.
