    it's 100% fake. Nothing more than a pirate I'm afraid.

    Isn't that picture from Barbarian for the Amiga? Or am I thinking of something else?

    Pirate for sure, you can always tell by the plastic on the cases for a start as it's rougher/more bobbly (if that makes sense lol) than a proper MD release. Also the complete lack of official Sega markings should give it away :). Nice cover though, what's the front look like? I especially like the barcode, I presume it was sold in a Greek trinket shop next to stacks of pirated GameBoy Pokemon games :).

    I'm not sure about other regions, but in the US there were a lot of Genesis games that had that bumpy texture cover. My Wings of War is like that.

    Haha I have exactly the same one. The greatest thing about it is the fact it doesn't have a save battery installed!

    The girl from the Barbarian I&II - cover was Maria Whitaker - dark haired and all.
    This lady looks better imho - even from the rear :)
    The whole thing looks like a mashup from a Louis Royo painting.

    Yeah its not Genuine at all.
    Also yes this was sold in Greek stores and its Pirated as hell (it doesnt even have a manual from what its seller told me)
    Do you guys think this has any value of some sort?

    For people who like / collect fakes of legit MD games, possibly, but very little imo.

    For fans of 'original' pirates (like me), none whatsoever. It's fake shit.
