US - Sega Genesis Games

Renamed Genesis in the United States for trademark reasons, the SEGA console was launched there in 1989 with an aggressive marketing campaign and the provocative slogan "Genesis does what Nintendon't". A notable feature: American games used cardboard cases, more fragile than their European and Japanese counterparts, making well-preserved copies particularly sought after today. The American market also had its exclusive gems like TMNT: The Hyperstone Heist, a unique version of the Ninja Turtles game different from the Japanese and European one, or Contra: Hard Corps, which remained uncensored unlike its European version Probotector. The US sports scene also influenced the releases with games like Bill Walsh College Football or Coach K College Basketball.
