This looks like the Megadrive packaging, but has Genesis logos on it, picked it up at a thrift in town. What's the story on it?
Sonic 1 box variant?

Interesting....first time I have seen that.
I believe that is the version that was released in canada.
I have a few genesis games with altered box styles that I think are also canadian releases.
I recall the same thing. I believe it is the Canadian version.

Very interesting.
The illustration as the same used in Brazilian and European versions of the Sonic the Hedgehog.
I had a question.
- The Mega Drive is named Genesis in Canada too?
Yeah. It was marketed/distributed by Irwin Toy under license from Sega. Irwin has since folded but it was a pretty formidable company back in the '80s and early '90s. I owned a few stocks courtesy of my parents so I remember going to the annual shareholder meetings and testing out all the concept toys. Incidentally, that's how I got my first taste of the Genesis...

In Brazil, my country the Mega Drive and other Sega Consoles are manufactured, distribuited and marketed by Tec Toy under license from Sega.
The Tec Toy company still manufacture Master System and Mega Drive.
But the current Master Sytem and Mega Drive had a characteristic: They have a several games built in.
The current Master System had 112 games built in and the current Mega Drive had 71 games built in.

I had the same box. Yes, I am Canadian.
The back in the box was multilingual though, like it was intended for Europe.
Although it is the Canadian release, some were sold in the U.S. I remember seeing it at Toy Liquidators all the way back when you could still get SMS games there (and they also sold Canadian/European SMS games at Toy Liquidators too).
Stop it. *smacks your hand* We're gonna keep talking about this redundant topic here whether you like it or not.
I'll have to keep my eye out for packing like that
"A Serpent Guard, a Horus Guard and a Setesh Guard meet on a neutral planet. It is a tense moment! The Serpent Guard's eyes glow, the Horus Guard's beak glistens, the Setesh Guard's nose drips!" Teal'c
Is all the Manuals in Canada for the Genesis are like the PAL ones
Thats the canadian version for sure, they re-released it with new box art when sonic 2 came out i think.
there is already a thread on this, may i suggest a search next time?
