Sonic 1 (Genesis) Beta/Test Cartridge???

Post by retroguru »

I recently found a Sonic 1 Genesis cart. The product code is: 670-1469-22. This game states "Genesis". The label art is a variant of the PAL version. This cart is the weirdiest I have EVER found. Anyone with concrete info please let me know. Thank you to everyone for your help. This link is to my photobucket of actual photos of the cart I own and am referring to: http://s589.photobucket.com/albums/ss331/sonicbeta/

Yup, Canadian. They had to use the Genesis name to market it in North America but for whatever reason chose to use the Euro artwork.

It's not at all rare, in Canada anyway. It should run pretty cheap.
