[img width=700 height=868]http://i.imgur.com/N4e9o.jpg[/img] So... a very common game... but WTF... no Sega logos, red border, etc? ok... [img width=700 height=767]http://i.imgur.com/yRBigh.jpg[/img] Hmmm.. normal manual... Sega Catalog... but that game???! WTF?? [img width=700 height=566]http://i.imgur.com/bf3L2h.jpg[/img] Weirdest cart I've ever seen.. no sega logos, no seal of quality... is this a repro?? [img width=700 height=882]http://i.imgur.com/TibOrh.jpg[/img] The back looks weird too... [img width=700 height=933]http://i.imgur.com/SmRQeh.jpg[/img] There is japanese writing on that sticker... so... no idea?? Anyone have a clue? Title: Re: WTF! WSB for Genesis WEIRD VERSION?

Title: Re: WTF! WSB for Genesis WEIRD VERSION? Need Help Identifying. Post by: Shadow Kisuragi on November 14, 2012, 05:51:47 PM ^ blck nailed it. It's a Mega Drive game for release in Japan. The UPC underneath it likely starts with 4974365, which is the Manufacturer ID for Sega in Japan.

http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-040-S-06940-A This is what it looks like normally... in addition the UPC's dont match. The upc underneath is 4991425000159.. googling that produced zero results... Title: Re: WTF! WSB for Genesis WEIRD VERSION? Need Help Identifying.

However, going by that, that's the EAN for the Japanese Mega Drive Mig-29. Sounds like a bootleg. Title: Re: WTF! WSB for Genesis WEIRD VERSION? Need Help Identifying.

Well another funny little conversation piece for my collection! :)

Who makes a bootleg of World Series Baseball! lol. Well another funny little conversation piece for my collection! :) There were no American Baseball games for the JP Mega Drive. Considering there's a big market for Baseball there, it doesn't surprise me that someone would make a bootleg of it. Title: Re: WTF! WSB for Genesis WEIRD VERSION? Need Help Identifying.

Title: Re: WTF! WSB for Genesis WEIRD VERSION? Need Help Identifying. Post by: Beardcore84 on November 14, 2012, 10:09:37 PM A local shop had it in with all the normal genesis games. Obviously it stuck out like a sore thumb to me lol so I grabbed it since it was cheap.
