Not legit ANYWHERE. Likely a Chinese knockoff.

Here's some more Sega, this time in the form of NiGHTS(figured I'd post the PS2 version instead of the Saturn):

On the front, it reads:

It's a DREAM PARADOX

As you wander through the nightmare world,
you recall all of your exciting experiences.
You remember floating freely, smiling as you drifted
through fantastic and beautiful lands.
But you also recall fleeing in terror from the nightmare master...
NiGHTS in an unfolding stage, a breathtaking adventure
through fantastic but dangerous places. Courage
and skill determine the outcome of your incredible dream.


The grammar and spelling aren't bad. It's more like a "what the fuck did I just read" thing that is so common in Asia.

No X. Just some Japanese person showing off his mad English skills.
