Well thats new to me
Just in case Dynamite Headdy wins, I've ordered a repro from this seller http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Dyna...ega-Drive-For-Sega-Genesis/1000001891995.html (should arrive in like one month lol)
She agreed to patch the game with the MIJET translation, which is the only reason I went to get a repro tbh.
I don't expect much, but at the very least I should have a functional cartridge. I could always print my own cover and label if they do a shit job.

I remember hearing that there was an Asian release of the Multi-Mega, but I've never seen so much as a photo proving it existed until today.

This seems like a less-shady way of getting the Japanese version

Not seeing how one bootleg is better than the other.
I've gotten some stuff from that Etsy seller, the case and cartridge he uses are at least good quality, unlike the stuff from Aliexpress that I've gotten, which are pretty much bottom of the barrel. The cases and labels look awful and the cartridges feel very light and cheap, like the board will snap. I won't order from them again.

yeah, those of us with legit copies of the changed-for-the-US version sure do get to look down on these folks, yes sir
The only difference is the country of origin it seems. Both claim to use new parts (eprom, boards and shells). The only gamble I believe I took was on the quality of the prints. But it's $9.90 free shipping vs $29.99 plus shipping.

Loads. One of the magazines did a feature on that.
There's quite a lenghty feature on HG101. I don't know if it covers every single change, but it looks like so.
So many holy grails for collectors in that video. Yakumo truly owns amazing retro collections.

I'm ok with repros. I understand the slippery-slope mentality, but if i want to own Pringles (a fun, but short homebrew) on a cart, its basically the only option. Things like that fan-translations i just never saw a big deal in. Though the Retron 5 has helped rectify that issue a bit now, but not every patch functions on it properly.

Comix Zone was so fucking good.

huh! no idea, but the easy shot is that it was Razorsoft, so it's hard to imagine it was a great loss, haha
Eh, to be fair, Deliverance on the Amiga was pretty decent, and one of the most impressive sidescrollers on the system.

done! first thing i did with this CRT, haha...granted, easy mode, but it's good to get back into the swing of things (and adjust for not having lag, heh). gonna try normal again soon...honestly, i didn't lose a man till the last level, fuck i forget how rough those swarms can be, especially if you pick the wrong path. love this game!
Early 90s Game Informer - reviews of Genesis Galaxy Force II. and Jewel Master.
I'm thinking that Jewel Master, at one point, probably was Altered Beast 2, a game that was mentioned once or twice in Quartermann's EGM column, Gaming Gossip.
That was EGM #18 January 1991. -- Jewel Master released August 1991 in Japan and the west.
Edit: Tell me the Japanese MD boxart for Jewel Master couldn't possibly be, in any way related to a console-only Altered Beast sequel.

Came here to post this, I really like the videos this channel does. Excellent quality!
Very interesting, I never thought of this, but yeah, it does make sense for sure. Would be interesting to know why they eventually changed it up.

This was fantastic, as a huge fan of the series. Of course, he is totally right about the spin-offs. Still, i subscribed to him after watching this, i'm excited to dig into his other stuff.
Edit: Also, i will always argue that Eternal Champions deserved better

Didn't Eternal Champions get the axe because of Virtua Fighter?
