Mega Drive bootleg games in Russia
From Sega Retro
Turns out I'm wrong about this.
I thought this one was an outlier but it appears there is another set of Russian bootlegs that adopt this style.

In addition:
There are both "silver" and "gold" variants of some games and the shininess doesn't pick up well on many cameras.

minor variants. I am displeased.
Faced with all this, I'm not entirely sure how best to continue, so I'm going to take a break - feel free to pick it up -Black Squirrel (talk) 16:11, 18 September 2017 (CDT)

I think the Russian translations have pink spines. I think. It didn't cross my mind that they might have wanted to simultaneously release English versions in ever-so-slightly different boxes. Although I've no way of verifying if the ROMs are actually any different - they might have just decided to highlight the Russian-ness later on.
It's my intention to mirror all of this noise in the next few days but any advice on how to organise/document these things would be lovely -Black Squirrel (talk) 13:59, 29 September 2017 (CDT)
