The correct title is "El Rey León".

This is about codes used for Sega 8-bit systems, or Sega systems in general? At least for later consoles, there are more codes.

Thanks.
Well, if codes for other consoles/products happen to match those, the table should be the same and I'm interested in seeing it.

The following are codes from my Dreamcast games. I have three games with the code 60, they seem to be for Spain & Italy, with box texts in both languages:

Buzz Lightyear of Star Command (13005D-60)
Star Wars Demolition (13010D-60)
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (13008D-60)

The following, with the code 61, seem to be for UK, Spain & Italy, with box texts in the three languages:

Caesars Palace 2000 (12502D-61)
MDK 2 (12501D-61)
Mortal Kombat Gold (9701D-61)
Power Stone 2 (36812D-61)

Other codes:

Disney's Dinosaur (17718D-99) - It's an european copy, with english, spanish, german, italian and french box texts. Why doesn't this have the 50 code?
Sonic Adventure (51000-53) - Also an european copy, box texts in english, french, german and spanish. Maybe a printing error (53 in the box, but 50 over the disc)

I also have some games with the 06 code, and a lot with 50.

In general, Australian carts use -50 (which may be a generic PAL indicator as PAL=50 fps).

Olympic Gold (which I do have here) does in fact use -05. Could it be that we got the UK version over here? It was a time critical release for the 1992 olympics.

I have noticed in hardware (Master Systems and power supplys) that Australia has -03 added.

The spanish version of The Jungle Book for the Master System is El Libro de la Selva (27069-06).

One more:
-55: Holland (Source: PAL MD Robbedoes)

I also have -03 on a European MD copy of Shining Force II. And a few other unusual ones from Dreamcast games.
Also, I've seen both -40 and -12 on different Asian releases.

Just to confirm, I have a couple of MegaCD games which have -50 in the product code, they might use a region system in the product code similar to the region code which is found on commercial DVD's (e.g. Region 4 for Australia)

I also have some games with the 06 code, and a lot with 50.

Some DreamCast games have two different reference codes, one outside of the box and one inside (usually ending in "50" for PAL games). You guys should take into account that these have three parts and not just two, and the first part (T, MK, 830, etc) might differentiate between different kinds of codes.

Also, some of them might refer to the actual box inlay.

T = Third party. These are in the format of T-xxyyyz.
Where xxx = Third party number, yyy = game number, z=system

MK = Sega

The inlays normally have a number in the 670-xxxx range.

In the case of Sonic Adventure, it has MK-51000-53 and 820-0021-53 in the box. And in the GD-ROM, MK-51000-50 and 830-0008-50. Not sure about it, but I think the MK- ones should be the same.
