missing items from the rarity guide

[tuxtpenguin]

OK these two items seem to missing from the guide, both are for the Sega Megadrive.

1) Quackshot\Castle of Illusion - 1996 (a double pack) (Europe)

2) Fantasia -1991 (Europe) - "Genesis label"
note: there seems to be two versions of Fantasia for the European version (I dont know if it was the whole of Europe or just the UK) Anyway 1 version has the correct megadrive label the other has a genesis label.


Any help on pricing these two would also be helpful.

The Quackshot/Illusion double-pack is listed here:

I'd suspect your Fantastia is just a mis-matched copy pieced together by a game store.

Ok I dont know I how I missed the first one, oh well :P

But your second point, its not just mine, i've seen other people with the same thing. Also if it was really a US cart it wont work in a European megadrive unless its been "altered" which I know mine hasn't.

Here's one for sale on ebay right now: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FANTASIA-SEGA-MEGADRIVE-MEGA-DRIVE-GENESIS-BOXED_W0QQitemZ330093250180QQcategoryZ112796QQrdZ1 QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem

Hmm, guess there was either a shortage of Euro carts/manuals or an excess of Genesis ones.
I doubt it would make much difference to the value, if anything it's probably worth less because people would rather have a "proper" Euro version.

And as for it playing on PAL systems with no trouble, that's not a surprise - region-coding wasn't used on MD games before late 1992, so all games earlier than that are universal.

really? didn't know that, you learn something everyday :D.

I think your reasoning (shortage of MD carts) is the most likely, the next possibility is some cock-up at the factory and they printed the wrong labels\manual covers.

Anyway this should be added as a new item or as a note to the current one.

It would be as a note to the current one given it's the same game from the same publisher :)

I Have the same version of this a cartridge labeled genesis and the box reading mega drive.
