EA games - Genesis / Mega Drive the same???

[retrosega]

I have a few EA games for the Mega Drive such as Road Rash 2, Faery Tale, James Pond 2 etc etc.

The box inserts and the instructions have Mega Drive printed on them, however, I just noticed that on the cartridge sticker, they all have for Genesis on them.

Did EA just reprint the boxes and instructions for the UK and Aus market, but just use the US cartridges and stickers?

So what frequency do the games run at?? Are they just 60Hz games that will run on the 50Hz Pal systems?

So if I run them on my Genesis system....does that mean they will work at the proper 60Hz and not run extra fast?

EA games are never region-locked, so they run at the same rate as the console they're played on.

thats good to know. A few less games to sell. Im in the process of getting rid of my pal games and replacing them with the ntsc versions.

I'll trade you my NTSC games for your PAL ones :D

I did not this already. But isn't it kinda strange that EA is one of the only companies who puts region locks on its xbox360 games.
