dyer | 202 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) I thought I would take the chance to share a few pics of my collection, I have scaled down over the years but still have a passion for the really obscure and I am always trying to find and document new Asian Mega Drive releases as well build my collection of random bits and bobs. As well as sharing my collection I will add pics and details of my new pick ups as and when I get them! So to start my PAL Asian "Gold Logo" Mega Drive collection, the 27 known releases, all complete in box with manuals (oh and the games below are all Asian releases as well): A couple of "NTSC" sticker variants: Blue Box (artwork) Asian: Some "NTSC" and "PAL" sticker variants: Teal (artwork) Asian: Asian sticker variants: Sega Genesis Asian games: Official Chinese Asian releases: Only for sale in Asia variants/Japanese box and manual English text label on rear of the cart: (Cadash is a hybrid between a US and Japanese version) Some McDonald's Mega Drive/Genesis love: Rare "GOTY" Global Gladiators Genesis variant: More to come..........

Bare Knucke II is probably still my fav, but I like Sub Terrania and Sonic 3. As you can see love Treasure Land Adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fcgamer | 4,954 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 I really like this collection too. So many obscure and rare items. I've been casually collecting these as I found them (well primarily the NTSC counterparts) but they just don't show up here often! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know right, plus there are still a few more that I need. The Game of the Year variant is my favourite, as far as I can tell it never got a retail release. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still building the "NTSC" sticker variants, I have few and I am aware of others, would you mind sharing a list or pics of what you have to help build the knowledge base of what exists?

dyer | 202 Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 (edited) Silver Ozi Soft releases: Still building this collection, I have a few more on the way.

dyer | 202 Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 (edited) Some random PAL Variants (English only Soleil-Scandinavian/Young Indiana Jones-Sample/Thunderforce II-Scandinavian) Love these. The TF II artwork was changed at the last minute as the original European version was deemed to threatening. Young Indiana Jones never got a Euro/PAL release but “Sample” version artwork to promote the game did make it to shelves. No surprise it got canned it’s bloody awful! Soleil is an unknown variant, it has the print “English Version” on the the front of the Artwork but a very random catalogue number.

dyer | 202 Posted December 3, 2019 Author Share Posted December 3, 2019 A few more Asian releases, all of the below have PAL Artwork but a Japanese shape cart, there are a mix of English and Japanese cart back labels. Some of these are super tricky to get hold of. A few examples: 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyer | 202 Posted December 3, 2019 Author Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) One of my all time favourite items. A copy of Ristar and original letter stating that is was won as a prize in a Weetabix competition. Weetabix is a UK breakfast cereal. There was a whole promotion with Sega in the 90's with the top prize being a 32X and a Mega Drive II. Edited December 3, 2019 by dyer 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
