    Hmm, wasn't Space Turtle Battleship the only one exclusive to Korea? The rest are available elsewhere.

    Did you look at Digital Press? They only list 4 other games - Alex Kidd in the Enchanted City, Sonic 3, Ragnacenty and Light Crusader. So 5 in total.

    Nah, there's more than that. I had Rolling Thunder 2, Sonic 1, Fatal Fury and something else that were all Samsung branded cartridges..

    This and most of the others aren't available elsewhere? I'll be damned.

    I have Fifa Soccer 95, Sonic 3D, Sonic 1, Sonic 3, Sonic Compilation, Virtua Racing, Kid Chameleon and Dr Robotniks Mean Bean Machine. I maybe have a few more I just can't think what they are off the top of my head.

    They're all boxed samsung releases.

    I know that Sonic 2 exists but when I asked a few korean game stores if they had it or could find it they said that it's almost impossible to find.

    There's a lot more than that, i.e. Eliminate Down, Ristar Shooting Star and Battlemania Daiginjou (all Samsung branded).

    A very good list can be found on Guardiana.net. They have 139 Korean MD titles in their library:

    (choose "Corée de Sud" in the "n'afficher que les éléments"-menu)

    oh yes. Theres some Baloon Pop game that emulators can't even run. That's all in Korean on the Title Screen. God only knows what it's called though.

    I own the Sonic 2 cart, produced by Samsung. I wasn't aware it's rare, it's just Korean instructions and a box with the same thing as we got over here :)

    Any chance of some pictures? I spent 8 months in Korea looking for this.
