It is also worth mentioning (but not surprising) that the stickers could be prone too counterfeiting. However, for a true North American complete collection, you will need the stickers. Many North American collectors are content to save some money by having a PAL version without the sticker.

Other than these UPC stickers, the North American releases are identical to the PAL version (which are all rather common). The games in question were Strider, Sonic the Hedgehog, Golden Axe Warrior, and Spiderman. Since they knew the demand was lower in North America and it was challenging to justify different print runs for this region, the simply put a new, North American-specific UPS sticker on the back. In the later years of the Master System, Sega had a handful of popular games that were previously only published in PAL regions and Brazil. The collectability of this true North American version (and a few others below) can be a bit confusing for those new to Master System collecting. Unlike the unique and exciting Master System version of Ninja Gaiden that we featured in our Master System Hidden Gems guide, this version is basically a heavily downgraded port of the Genesis/Megadrive game by Tiertex. You might simply think that this is an interesting port or alternate version of Capcom’s classic. But in the case of Buster Douglas, you don’t have to worry about weeding through European versions (at least with the same licensed branding).Ĭheck for James Buster Douglas Knockout Boxing on eBay Strider (with US UPC): $200-$545
The only close contender is the Sonic (see below) in complete condition with the US UPC on the back. In the end, James Buster Douglas Knockout Boxing is arguably the hardest-to-find North American Master System release (especially when you’re looking at pure cartridges). But as we discussed above, this is probably because the games were not really developed with each other in consideration. Interestingly enough, the Master System version exceeds overall quality compared to the Genesis other than things like presentation and sprite size. The 16-bit version of Buster Douglas Boxing was rather common, but also happened to be a rather lackluster game considering the hardware it was running on.

The Buster Douglas license in the North America likely coincided with the Sega Genesis/Megadrive game of the same name. It was also released in Brazil as George Foreman’s KO Boxing. In the PAL Regions, the same core game was published as both “Heavyweight Champ” and “George Foreman’s KO Boxing”. Well, the Master System version of James Buster Douglas Knockout Boxing actually went by different names and/or used different licensing other other regions. And especially when tied to a sports celebrity license, begs the question of why did they bother to produce the game? On the surface, this particular game seems like a rare North American exclusive that just happened to be made in low quantities.

Often in those cases, it may be due to a more common region variation of the game being sold without being specified (often a common PAL version instead of the US version). It’s also worth noting that with a quick search on eBay, you may find that some prices for games may vary for certain games. However, after a lot of research on eBay, forums, and rarity guides online, I have compiled a relatively solid representation of the in-demand items of the Master System library. Since Sega’s first console wasn’t a big hit in the United States and it doesn’t have as much of a collector’s following as some newer systems or Nintendo’s nostalgia powerhouses, it can be a challenge to find a lot of price information on the rarer Master System games.
