6-Pak

Are we sure that the cardboard box version is Asian? It says Genesis, whilst it was known as Mega Drive in Asia. Googling "6-PAK Genesis" in Google images brings up pictures of carts some of which have a "not for resale" variant (they both have ESRB ratings). So maybe this was just a late bundle in the US (or possibly some other NTSC-U country in the Americas).

That brings me onto to Mega Games 10, it uses a Euro cart without a cartridge lock slot, so wouldn't be compatible with Asian MD1s. This must have been only bundled with later compatible hardware (which would also explain the lack of PAL/NTSC sticker on it).--Pirate Dragon (talk) 15:56, 29 July 2016 (CDT)

Any cartridge (or box) which says "not for resale" was bundled with something, the idea presumably being to stop retailers from opening packs and selling bundled carts for maximum profit.

That "Asian" 6-Pak turns up from time to time and I honestly have no idea where it's from. It may not even be an officially licensed variant - there's no Sega logos on any of the shots we have. That version of Mega Games 10 (and this Game Gear thing) probably originates from the same source or around the same period.

These are all from the early 2000s - almost a decade after Sega stopped manufacturing consoles with cartridge locks. -Black Squirrel (talk) 16:14, 29 July 2016 (CDT)

I have 6-Pak and Mega Games 10, both of which I got from a seller in Japan. Neither has a cartridge lock slot, the boxes are smaller than regular MD boxes, the overall build quality is quite poor, and they don't seem more than 10-15 years old. My guess is they were intended for use with AtGames consoles or similar. - Hivebrain (talk) 16:16, 29 July 2016 (CDT)
