Pricing: Sold price appears to cover a case+manual+cartridge bundle (CIB-style for Genesis clamshell releases), not a loose cartridge; do not use as clean loose price evidence (PriceCharting metadata says Loose but images show manual and case).

Unknown candidates

  • Shadow Dancer (Genesis) specific print/revision variant unknown (needs code checks) medium
    Images do not show cartridge end label product code, PCB/board markings, or detailed manual print codes that are often used to separate revisions/prints; do not force a specific revision.
    UPC visible on back cover art: 010086011142 | No visible revision text (e.g., 'REV' codes) on packaging shown

Human review questions

  • Does the cartridge have an end label/product code or rear label code that identifies a specific revision/print?
  • Are there any additional inserts (registration card, warranty, Sega ads) not shown in photos?
  • Confirm whether the clamshell case is original to this release (not a replacement) by checking inner molding marks and cover art print quality.

Warnings

  • PriceCharting enrichment marks condition/completeness as 'Loose/game only', but listing images clearly show manual and case.
  • No clear region marks (NTSC/GEN/part number) beyond UPC; revision/variant cannot be confirmed from shown angles.
  • Contacts/board not shown; 'cleaned/tested' is text-only evidence.
