(Pretty sure SMS never released in Thailand, and haven't seen any evidence that Dreamcast did either. I'm open minded about Mega CD ... it's super rare in bigger Asian markets such as HK or SG, so could fly under the radar in Thailand. I've seen lots of GG in Thailand, but not with Galaxy stickers, some have had Wywy stickers, so possible grey imports. Removed references to Galaxy distributing those until some evidence shows up.) |
