Title: Is this game on eBay Megadrive, or Genesis? Post by: thx1138 on February 22, 2005, 10:43:23 AM http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8172126841
My question - ""Hi, could you please tell me if the box is marked "Genesis" or "Megadrive", as I only collect boxed Megadrive games. thanks"" His answer - it says that's it. it says Title: Re: Is this game on eBay Megadrive, or Genesis? Post by: thx1138 on February 22, 2005, 10:45:49 AM His feedback his very high, and so I figured I would not need to explain the subtle differences in lables. Nor the fact that many Gensis games work on PAL systems, but some collectors like myself, are a little quirky and fussy.
I would have figured that it would have been worth his time, to either reassure me that it is indeed Megadrive, or to say that no it is marked Genesis. To my eyes, it looks like that might me a Genesis logo on the side of the box.. Title: Re: Is this game on eBay Megadrive, or Genesis? Post by: den68 on February 22, 2005, 11:12:15 AM looks like Genesis to me too. also on the front where the label is slightly peeled it looks like a "G".
screw him, you're better off with the board game anyway. Title: Re: Is this game on eBay Megadrive, or Genesis? Post by: Arrrhalomynn on February 22, 2005, 11:13:56 AM Yeah, definately genesis.

Post by: Tynstar on February 22, 2005, 12:04:19 PM looks like it to me as well. Plus that box is beat to hell. I would pass on it if I where you. Or is the PAL Monopoly rare?
Title: Re: Is this game on eBay Megadrive, or Genesis? Post by: thx1138 on February 22, 2005, 12:50:28 PM Well, I've never heard of Megadrive Monopoly. So, I guess it is rare, if it's on PAL at all.
When I was a child, I used to collect Monopoly stuff. I no longer do, as the rare stuff is expensive, and the common expensive stuff is mass produced crass. But I always notice when Monopoly titles come up. I love the game. :) I am one of the few people I know that is familiar with all of the rules of the game.

(http://www.sega-16.com/Gifs/genesisLogo.gif) Similar but different. Title: Re: Is this game on eBay Megadrive, or Genesis? Post by: Sureshot on February 22, 2005, 11:08:04 PM I think Monopoly did come out as the PAL version as well, I remember it being reviewed in MEGA a long time ago.
Title: Re: Is this game on eBay Megadrive, or Genesis? Post by: thx1138 on February 23, 2005, 08:47:52 AM thanks. :)
Anyway, I.M.H.O the seller is a jerk for not giving me a clearer answer Title: Re: Is this game on eBay Megadrive, or Genesis? Post by: Izret101 on February 23, 2005, 09:17:24 AM Thanks for the pics Mike.
I still think it isn't PAL. That logo on the side looks angular like the Genesis not rounded like Megadrive. Just ask for some more pics if your really interested. Title: Re: Is this game on eBay Megadrive, or Genesis? Post by: Sureshot on February 23, 2005, 11:01:34 PM This topic reminds me of another auction. Check out the seller Q&A:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=38573&item=8167406772&rd=1 You wonder why some people bother! Title: Re: Is this game on eBay Megadrive, or Genesis? Post by: Lord Nepenthean on February 23, 2005, 11:05:47 PM Ahahahaha.
That had me laughing out loud. I think the fact that the seller responded in caps made it ten times funnier. Good stuff. Title: Re: Is this game on eBay Megadrive, or Genesis?

http://www.sega-16.com/Gifs/genesisLogo.gif There you go, Rick. Links. Title: Re: Is this game on eBay Megadrive, or Genesis? Post by: Hydrobond on February 24, 2005, 11:22:36 AM Horray! Links that still don't work!
Title: Re: Is this game on eBay Megadrive, or Genesis? Post by: Lord Nepenthean on February 24, 2005, 03:01:40 PM Well, the first one does. Those people at sega 16 sure must have their redirection limit set pretty darn low. Hang on.
EDIT: Okay, go here for the Genesis logo. http://www.sega-16.com/Master%20List.htm Title: Re: Is this game on eBay Megadrive, or Genesis? Post by: Lord Nepenthean on February 25, 2005, 02:47:32 AM Hey, I didn't even think to do the obvious.... Take a look at this scan:
(http://www.rfgeneration.com/images/games/U-040/bf/U-040-S-03670-A.jpg) http://www.rfgeneration.com/images/games/U-040/bf/U-040-S-03670-A.jpg That's the box I have. It's been in the database for who knows how long. Anyway, if you look at the bottom center of his box, there's not a big honky Genesis logo there. A little to the right there is a smaller logo partially covered by the sticker.... but it may be curved enough to be a Mega Drive logo. Of course, it could just be a box variant and it could still be for Genesis. Guess it doesn't much matter, except that it would be nice to know if a Mega Drive version does indeed exist or not. More scans here: Monopoly (http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-040-S-03670-A&) EDIT: I looked again at that auction, and nevermind. It just looks like a box variant. I should probably check to see if mine is a hard case. I bet that's all it was. |
