Lakers vs Celtics for Sega Mega Drive

There are several Lakers vs. Celtics video games, but the one developed specifically for European gamers for the Sega Mega Drive in 1990 is unquestionably the rarest of them all. This is owing to the theory that the game was truly going to be recalled because of a licensing dispute at the time with the NBA in Europe. Only 192 copies were actually produced as a result, and only 14 are thought to still be in existence. Because it was so uncommon, nobody was certain that it even existed for years. At that time, the game was either formally released or legally permitted for sale.

The game itself was not unique because the Sega Mega Drive was merely the Sega Genesis outside of North America. The game is extremely simple to find in North America. However, this limited run version was special in terms of the packaging, manual, and return slip, which made it stand out. One of the few models still in use sold on eBay for almost $4,500 in 2017.
