Does anyone know about this version, a friend of mine have the loose catridge to sell, and there are there is the samsung logo in front label, and the embossed logo in the cart back, is too obscure thet there is only one site to register because of the front code GM94016JT http://www.guardiana.net/MDG-Database/Mega%20Drive/Sparkster/
Well it isn't one of a kind. As for rarity or being legitimate, I don't really know. (found a completed auction) http://www.ebay.com/itm/SEGA-MEGADR...ultDomain_0&hash=item3a6e7ca5f4#ht_710wt_1396
It's a Korean version. What else to say? I've seen it for sale several times, CIB. I don't collect Korean MD, but based on what little I have seen, it's pretty common for a Korean MD game.
Yep, it's just the Korean version. The problem with collecting Korean retro games is that Koreans seem to treat their games like shit. Most of the time they're in poor condition. I've yet to see a trully mint Korean Retro game on cartridge. Yakumo
The copy of Sonic 1 I bought when I was there was pretty damn close. But yeah, Koreans don't take care of their games. I nearly cried the day I saw that Divers DC with screen burn and stickers all over it.
As wheelaa pointed out, it's one of the most common Korean MD games. Probably on par with Battlemania 2. The famous action games for the MD pop up from time to time, even stuff like the Korean Eliminate Down, just the real rarities keep under their covers.
Part of my Korean SNES Collection would disagree with you. http://imgur.com/a/f5wgO The thing is that I could easily say the Japanese treat their games like shit if I walk into Hard Off and see all the 100 yen games tossed into a box. The same could be said of the Americans and flea markets. Korean games are hard to find mint because between Japan, the US, Europe and Korea, Korea is the smallest market. They also tend to just export the shit and keep the good stuff for themselves.
Not really because they are in the 100 yen bin for a reason, they are in shit condition. You can find mint Japanese stuff VERY easily. I've been to Korea a few times and every time all the retro stuff is a disgrace. They really do treat their games like shit. Even on Korean auctions it's hard to find mint stuff and Korean stuff sold in Japan is normally in awful condition as well. There was a Korean Element Down on yahoo two weeks back. Unboxed and in so so condition. It still sold for over 5000 yen. Yakumo
I don´t think that battlemania and sparkster are commom today, the korean battlemania 2 on ebay is 219 dollars.
Common for a Korean MD game. Not common in general. That it's on Ebay sort of shows that. Plus a $219 BIN format is hardly a good price indicator. Except for that one copy which is yet to sell.
