While there are several collector's guides for games themselves, I've noticed there doesn’t seem to be a good list of console box variants anywhere. There is an old list on the Sega-16 forum from ~10 years ago, but it only covers some of the Genesis Model 2's variants, and unfortunately all of the image links are long-defunct. So I spent some time these past few weeks researching and putting together a list and images of all the variants for the North American Genesis models 1-3, CD model 1 & 2, 32X add-on, CDX, X’EYE, and Nomad that I could find. I’ll break this up into a few posts due to the number of images. Front and back images have been provided, where available. Note: This should not be regarded as a complete list, I will update it as more are found/images provided, so please feel free to contribute! Genesis Model 1 US Base System (No Pack-in) Variants 1) Base model – game not included, "The Core System" badge in bottom-right corner, “Join the 16-Bit Revolution” badge in top-left corner: 2) “Eternal Champions” sticker, "The Core System" badge in bottom-right corner, “Join the 16-Bit Revolution” badge in top-left corner. I was on the fence about including this one, it doesn’t really look like the kind of sticker Sega would slap on there before shipping to a store, but I could be wrong... I’m open to opinions about this: US Game Pack-In Variants 1) “Arcade Hit! Altered Beast” badge on right side: 2) “Arcade Hit! Altered Beast” badge on right side, "Value Pak" badge on left side: 3) “Fighting System” (Streets of Rage 2) badge in bottom-right corner, “Leader of 16-Bit Revolution” badge in top-left corner, red/yellow background: 4) “Sonic System” badge in bottom-right corner, “Join the 16-Bit Revolution” badge in top-left corner: 5) “Sonic the Hedgehog” badge in bottom-right corner is a little bigger than the below variant, “Includes Inside” text at bottom-left is only one line, “Leader of 16-Bit Revolution” badge in top-left corner: 6) “Sonic the Hedgehog” badge in bottom-right corner is a little smaller than the above variant, “Includes Inside” text at bottom-left is two lines, “Leader of 16-Bit Revolution” badge in top-left corner: 7) “Sonic the Hedgehog” badge in bottom-right corner is smaller (like the above variant), “Includes Inside” text at bottom-left is two lines, “Leader of 16-Bit Revolution” badge in top-left corner, “Value Pak” sticker (box includes Columns & 2nd controller): 8.) “Sonic the Hedgehog” badge in bottom-right corner is a little bigger than the below variant, “Includes Inside” text at bottom-left is only one line, “Leader of 16-Bit Revolution” badge in top-left corner, small “Value Pack” sticker at bottom-left: 9) Two carts included: “Sonic the Hedgehog” badge in bottom-right corner is bigger than the above variant, "Taz in Escape from Mars" badge on left, “Includes Inside” text at bottom-left is one line, “Leader of 16-Bit Revolution” badge in top-left corner, “Value Pak” sticker (box includes Columns & 2nd controller): Canadian Base System (No Pack-in) Variants 1) English/French language, “The Core System ” badge in bottom-right corner, “Join the 16-Bit Revolution” badge in top-left corner, "$50 Rebate" sticker on the left: 2) English/French language, “The Core System ” badge in bottom-right corner, “Join the 16-Bit Revolution” badge in top-left corner, no "Rebate" sticker: 3) English/French language, blank box (no “Core”/”16-Bit Revolution” badges): 4) English/French language, blank box (no “Core”/”16-Bit Revolution” badges), yellow "$50 Rebate" sticker in bottom-right: Canadian Game Pack-in Variants 1) “Arcade Hit! Altered Beast” badge on right side, English/French language: 2) English/French language, “The Sonic System ” badge in bottom-right corner, “Join the 16-Bit Revolution” badge in top-left corner: 3) English/French language, “Sonic The Hedgehog” badge in top-right corner:

Ohhhh noooo! I saw someone ship a Sega Miracle Piano like this once... they even used colored packing tape allll over the box... Absolutely broke my heart

Got a couple more corrections/suggestions Lethal Enforcers - Listed as clamshell, should be big box/boxed loose with accessory (unless it had a separate clamshell release? I didn't think so) Lotus Turbo Challenge - Which one is the original release? Minnesota Fats: Pool Legend - listed as clamshell, should be slide box Miracle Piano Teaching System - listed as clamshell, should be big box/boxed loose w/ accessory For the four Wisdom Tree titles (Bible Adventure, Exodus, Joshua & the Battle of Jericho, Spiritual Warfare), it might be worth noting the styrofoam packing block they come with Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 - should note that 1st release has a color manual Ms. Pac-Man clamshell variant - notes that "Tengen" text is white on manual and cart, what about the case? NBA Jam 1st release - might be nice to note that the case has "Fleer Cards" promo badge? I mean I guess it's implied by the rerelease noting it doesn't have the badge

For Jungle Strike, if you look a few posts up, I posted images of my two copies of it, and there's a bunch of extra patent info on the back of one case. Carts otherwise looked identical, but they're used copies I got from who knows where, so more research definitely wouldn't hurt.

So here's a few things I've found so far: - For the first release Aaahh Real Monsters (slide box) you have a comment that "Acclaim" on the case is covered by a black sticker, I think this is meant to be on the clamshell variant - Ghostbusters is missing the Canadian release variant - You're missing the 2nd clamshell version of jungle strike (thick & regular) Will keep you posted as I review.

Gotcha, ok! Disregard that whole post then (I'll delete the post's pics to reduce clutter) Here's a separate question though (I'm new to CD collecting if you couldn't tell, wish I'd had one as a kid...), did Fahrenheit have a non-CD/32X release? If not, should it be included in the list (#44) since the intent seems to be to exclude CD/32X combo games?

Disregard the Monkey Island part, I saw a jewel longbox version, so I thought this cardboard box was the variant... turns out the jewel version was just a repro art insert though, whoops! As for Night Trap, the post lists three versions: 89.) Night Trap (presumably the red cardboard box?) 13.) Night Trap - cardboard box with MA-17 sticker 14.) Night Trap - blue box Am I mistaken in assuming #13 referred to the Cd/32X version? Or now that I think about it, does it mean a red box with the M rating badge? Edit: Nevermind!

FYI, there's also a cardboard variant of Secret of Monkey Island Edit: Also in the "variants" section, you note that you're not including CD/32X combo games, but the cardboard variant of Night Trap is one: Edit2: Nevermind!

@twiztor Very nice! Is this your personal collection?

I didn't see any revision marks on either Desert/Jungle Strike games, so it's tough to speculate on which was first run... My copies of Jack Nicklaus Power and Hardball III are packed away at the moment, I'll dig them up later to take better pics of all the pieces, but here are Desert Strike and Jungle Strike: Jungle strike is a little weird; the rear of one cartridge says USA and the other says Puerto Rico, but both fronts say USA, so one back could be a replacement? I also only have one manual so I can't check there, the only definitive proof I have that they were two separate runs and nut just completely thrown together from spare parts is the subtle art differences (see my arrows, one has an extra tree "back to the future"-style ). As for Coach K Basketball, I don't have any inserts in my copy aside from the manual, but it's used so that doesn't say much. As for Fatal Rewind, I only have the thin-style case release. A quick search on ebay only seems to turn up this style, so maybe there actually isn't a think-style release?

Since no one else has posted it, and for the sake of posterity, I've scraped the original 32X collecting guide from SeagAge (RIP), verbatum. All credit to user madhatter for the original list. Cartridge games and contents All games came in a boxes made with bleached(white) cardboard except where noted.

Corpse Killer Night Trap Slam City with Scottie Pippen Supreme Warrior Hardware There are at least seven(!) different package variations of the console, quite a bit for such a short shelf life. billybob884's note: See my console box variant thread here for more 32X box variants and better pictures. Launch model $10 coupon model Star Wars Doom Virtua Fighter Canadian model w/Virtua Fighter Refurbished w/Doom and Cosmic Carnage Everything Else Virtua Fighter Training Pack A promotional pack that sold in stores. It included a seven minute game tip VHS that highlighted the game and upcoming 32x games. It also included a $20 coupon for the game(or $40 for the system), and a white X-Large Virtua Fighter shirt.

Glad to see this thread back up! So I had a few open items before segaage ended, was there ever a verdict on whether to track the clamshell variants for Desert Strike and Jungle Strike? Also, sticker variants for Jack Nicklaus Power Challenge Golf and Hardball III

Genesis is absolutely my drug of choice, but Rez on the Dreamcast was sublime
