Structured source record
01

Release context

The documented release is 1994 (the exact day and month are not documented) for Worldwide on Mega Drive / Genesis 32-bit add-on. Date precision is preserved exactly: the archive does not invent a day when the source records only a month or year.

02

Regional differences

This record is scoped to Worldwide. The linked structured source does not document a separate regional title or package difference, so PLAYBACK does not infer one.

03

Physical packaging

The physical format is documented as Cartridge. The current structured source does not enumerate every insert, manual, sleeve, or bonus item, so no unverified contents are claimed.

04

3 hardware configurations are linked to this family: Super 32X — Japan, Genesis 32X — North America, Mega Drive 32X — PAL.
