Just came across a set of Quackshot variants. Looks like the original release had a splash on the insert advertising a contest where you can win a trip to Disney World. What I'm guessing is the second release looks exactly the same minus the splash. Then there is also the Canadian release which comes with a special Canadian insert, standard Genesis cartridge and a PAL-style multilingual manual. Perhaps most interesting an seemingly the most rare is the other variant. This one is the same as the non-splash U.S. version but has a modified Sega seal of quality. The original seal says "official Sega seal of quality" whereas the rarer version says "official Sega Genesis seal of quality". They are pretty easy to distinguish even in small pictures because one has "Sega" in the largest type and the other has "Genesis" in the largest type. Also, both copies of the "official Sega Genesis seal of quality" variants I've seen have Mega Drive cartridges instead of Genesis cartridges for some reason. I used to think that any games found like this were case swaps but it's so common I think Sega sold them like this when they were short on Genesis cartridges.
