Hello. I'm looking for particular console versions. Due to the items' nature I figure it's most likely Europeans who own them.

Master System with both Hang On & Astro Warrior built in. (prefer NTSC but PAL is also OK, I have an RGB SCART cable for color)

The early PAL Mega Drive model 1. Very easy to identify. It will have "high definition graphics stereo sound" printed above the cartridge slot. And does NOT in any way or form display that familiar "produced or licensed..." notice when starting up a Mega Drive game.

Re the MD, it's not only the early PAL units that omit the TMSS. I have a couple of Japanese units that also omit the TMSS.

That's alright. It would mean having to case mod for the euro/aus look...

Do you mean Hang On & Safari Hunt?

Probably. That means I was going by misinformation then. >_<

I have an american MD that has no TMSS as well. So it's not just restricted to the region apparently.

I'm guessing US is most common. Without any info to the contrary it's just a wild shot though.

Be glad I don't want Korean! Now there's a challenge. Of course I don't actually know if they got such early revisions.
