While Sega takes a relatively benign attitude toward homebrew/indie games, IIRC they've asked that their trademarks not be used in that way, as it would give the impression that the release had their official blessing (or something along those lines).
    The art on both the box and especially the manual obscure the GEN/MD text though, that's just bad layout. The white lettering could have been layered visibly over pedo creep cat priest's arm, for example. Little late for that now though with all those boxes printed! LOL!

    And pretending that this is a Megadrive release is silly when the packaging was blue in PAL land.

    I will defend the original art though. That was from a nascent time when homebrew releases on almost any platform other than the Atari consoles was unheard of. It was ragged on back then too but I've seen worse.
