My Master System knowledge is pretty limited. I didn't get the system until last spring. So, I need some help from you Sega guys. (I'm looking at you Sin2Bata) I bought a copy of Wanted. The cover art alone is too good not to buy. Anyway, it has a sticker on the cartridge that says "Sega for the 90's The New Generation". Does anyone know anything about this promotion? *edit: This is my 1000th post! I'm a grown up now! |

Yeah, they were very early promotional videos. The slogan did not last long. It went to Genesis Does pretty quickly. Here are a list of videos. Most of the Genesis for the 90s slogan was not television but quick spots on televisions in stores. That is my understanding but I'm not 100%. SEGA for the 90s was very Genesis specific. But they were promoting the backwards compatibility with the SMS and Powerbase converter. Made the library seem bigger. Here's a partial list of the games with the sticker http://segaage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=42&threadid=41468 I imagine they slapped em on whatever games were distributed after SEGA took the rights back from TONKA, but that's just a hunch. |

There arent too many games with the stickers. And if you read the Sega Age post, it mentions that all the pieces of the game itself have it on them. I have 2 games currently that are 90s (Captain Silver and Carmen Sandiego) as well as another game on the way soon. Value wise, I cant imagine they are much more (although I keep seeing people try to sell the Carmen Sandiego version for like 20 times what the normal version is *Btw, the sticker is also on the almanac*). Collector wise, they are nifty to have if they all match but nothing more in my eyes. |

Cheesiest announcer and background music ever on that first one, lol. |

It's like the 1990s vomited a commercial. It's right up there with the Burger King "I Love This Place" commercials on the official sin2beta "90s radical scale". I just realized I have a fairly unhealthy obsession with advertising campaigns. |
