SEGA Master System - Dutch language sheets
Posted: Wed Sep 13, 2023 12:26 pm
|
These A3 sheets were included in many, many SEGA Master System games sold in the Netherlands. It's because many manuals didn't have Dutch translations.Like seen in the scans, they were folded into A6 so they would fit into the boxes.
Here's the scan for the one included with Golden Axe Warrior (4 or 7 pages, depending how you look at it).I reckon there's about 50-100 or so different ones. When the Master System 2 became mainstream (and many manuals DID have a Dutch section) they were phased out.

Interestingly enough quite a few games that had Dutch language in the manual still came with a separate "Nederlandse handleiding". For example, Castle of Illusion and Moonwalker ( gifted on December 5th 1991 ). I assume it's because 6-language versions of those games were still in circulation?
Even stranger is that some games came with a photocopied version instead ( on A4 paper ). Attached is the "handleiding" that came with my copy of Super Monaco GP ( gifted on December 24th 1991 ). Since it's not even stapled in the correct page-order, i suspect these photocopies where done by the store themselves .. maybe they ran out or something.

That is indeed very strange. Perhaps the translations were added both by Omega (I think they did the distribution of SEGA stuff in The Netherlands) and toy shops.
Did scans for two more games.

Probably? It even says "vervolg" at the top which means continued / continuation. I assume it's not a original A3 sheet?
Anyway .. attached is the "handleiding" for Out Run 3-D :-)

There was probably two sheets for world cup italia then since all the others have the game title printed only on page 1
