Genesis rarities and variations - who has this stuff?

[nebrazca78]

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.

The practice of selling Mega Drive games in Genesis cases is seeming more and more purposeful. I've found another variant like this with Castle Of Illusion. U.S. insert with the modified seal of quality, PAL style manual (although manual references both Genesis and Mega Drive) and Mega Drive cartridge. The only difference here is that every U.S. COI insert I've come across has the modified seal of quality.

Add in "Sonic the Hedgehog" for Canadian variant art (uses the JP cover art... it took me almost 10 years to discover it was in fact Canadian and not a Hong Kong knock-off). I got mine, beat-up cart only, at a Software, Etc. in 1998.

I don't know why that's not on my list, I do have that one.
