Prototype box art? ...
So here I was looking at these Clube Sega catalogues ... felling nostalgic... when I noticed this .... I'm not good with prototype stuff... but it seems to be prototype box art for Mega Drive's Baby Boom ... I'm not sure if this has been seen before... is just to let you guys know ...--Asagoth (talk) 16:37, 21 December 2020 (EST)
