Here is a pic of the complete Mega Hit series. It also has 3 variants that have the Sega Seal in the lower left corner, I haven't found any others MH games that have the seal, if you know of any please let me know.

What makes the Sonic 3, Taz in Escape from Mars and Vectorman pieces unique?
P.S.> Please don't say a sticker.
@Quick,
If you look in the lower left hand corner you will see they have the Sega Seal of Quality, while the others don't. They are not stickers, they are printed on the box.
timemaster11, I vaguely remember these boxes. I had totally forgotten about SEGA's Mega Hit line until you posted a picture of them. Quite a cool novelty. Did you originally purchase these items in the 90s or did you acquire them over time?
I've noticed how some of the loose MH carts I've seen out there have varying quality of label art. I saw a MH "Vectorman" with crisp label art that looked like it was printed by Sega themselves, and another with blurry, fuzzy art that are the telltale signs of Majesco's labels. Majesco appeared to have printed most, if not all of the MH releases based on their mention on the back of the boxes.
If there are any other Mega Hit games, I'm unaware of them. Do you have a set of the Sega Classics as well? Or whatever the series was called that had the "greatest hits" version of Revenge of Shinobi.
@Sega. I have acquired these over the last year or so, some of them are harder to find than you would think.
@Aarzak. Yes the labels on some vary drastically, but this is an issue I find on many sega Genesis carts not just Majesco. It depends on where the cart was made, Mexico, Japan or the US. Some even have color variations Tengen carts do this a lot.
@Jerry. I do not have the classic set finished yet. I am 90% sure these are it for Mega Hit games out side of variations, seal no seal ect.
Very cool, so I take it these aren't all necessarily Majesco reprints?
Also, what's that one in the upper left corner? I can't even make it out.
It's 'Desert Demolition starring Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote'.Quote:

I would love a scan
scan the whole shabang! Would be a fun read lol.
timemaster, any chance we could get cart-only shots of the MH games?
I couldn't do cart only on all of them as a few are sealed, but It think I could get shots of most of them. One big pic of them together or individually?
A big pic would suffice, thanks! Just wanted to observe the quality of their labels.
I wonder what the selection criteria for these MH games were. EC, Sonic 3, MMPR, X-Men 2 and Vectorman made sense as they were good-to-great sellers for Sega, Mega Bomberman, the WB games and Ecco are dubious choices, but WTF was up with "Super Monaco GP"? It'd already been re-released as a "Sega Classic" back in 1992 (the only game to hold that distinction), as well as in the Sega Classics 5-in-1 (not counting the Euro "Mega Games" carts), why re-release a then-seven year old game for this line?
They probably just selected them at random, like the European "classic" series (where "classic" for the most part means "crap").
Complete sets make me happy :)
Not to mention the black box re-release of Super Monaco GP with the K-A rating on the cover/B&W manual. I don't think there's any other U.S. release with four distinct printings like that.Quote:

Sorry to bump this, but the Mega Hits version of Super Monaco GP is a whole new rom, it only runs on US consoles.
love it!
