I've got a fun little mystery to kick off your week.
Back in 2009 RIGHT after Michael Jackson died, my wife gave me a copy of Moonwalker for the Genesis. Rather, she gave me a copy of Moonwalker that is unlike any copy I've seen anyplace else. The cover has the familiar slick feel of any other Genesis or Megadrive game, but there is no logo to be seen anywhere on the box, or on the enclosed cart.
The cart looks like a Megadrive cartridge, but the label has "MOONWALKER" in yellow instead of the signature platinum. There are no Sega logos anywhere on the box, and the cartridge does not fit in a North American Genesis, but, I've found that removing the top of my 32X gives it ample room to fit through the slot, and the game will run. There is also Japanese kana all over the box and the back of the cart.
I'm assuming what I have is a cheap asian knockoff, but I wanted to run it by the community and get your 2 cents since the label quality on the cart itself was so well done. The print quality of the box art is low res, which is what raises the bootleg flag for me (that and the lack of logos).
Thanks for your insight!
