Let's Build a List! Majesco Re-Releases.

More linking: Here is a guide (at least on the Genesis end) on how to identify Majesco and Accolade/Ballistic reprints, the latter I just discovered.

I would make it clear on the top that the Gamer Gear console was re-released by Majesco, whereas they were the sole manufacturer of the Genesis 3. Also, I just discovered that Majesco re-released the Genesis 2.

Depending on how much time you want to invest in on this topic, I think you should have info. (or just an appropriate link) on how to identify the re-released items at the very top and the list just under them.

Man, now I have to go home and double check my copy of Bloodlines. I'm nearly 100% positive that it's an original release though.

Added Castlevania: Bloodlines to the list.

@scott Good thing you didn't discover another re-release in your collection!

Along with the Genesis 3 console release, Majesco also redesigned and re-released the 6 Button Arcade Pad. This was included in the release of the Genesis 3 as well as separately released. Here is the entry: http://vgcollect.com/item/16340 .

I'm not 100% sure, but I can't find any indication that Frogger (Genesis) is a re-release. I had this game sealed, and I opened it. It is certainly manufactured by Majesco, but possibly not re-released.

Luckily, the Bloodlines Re-Release is in a cardboard box with a black and white manual, rather than the plastic clamshell and full color manual. Crisis Averted.

I've got a Top Gear SNES that meets this criteria, I will try to get a picture. Also, I've got a Mega Man X Majesco rerelease with a paper label on the back instead of the plastic molding, will get a pic of that too.

[scott]

Interesting, I have a Majesco Mega Man X, but it's the plastic molded label. Variation found! ha

[forte]

Here is the MMX label with the box to show the Mexico production



Here is the Top Gear, manual shows that its a Majesco

My copy of Toy Story for the Genesis is a Majesco release. They got a little bit of solder on two of the pins, but the game works fine. I'd post the images to the forum but the Insert Image function doesn't seem to be working for me.

My copy of Goof Troop (SNES) is a Majesco copy. I'm pretty sure all of the Disney/ Capcom games on SNES had Majesco releases.
