Sega 32X release dates ====================== by the Scribe version 1.00 - last updated: 31 December 2000 Japanese release dates The Japanese release list that I got from Marubaku's site is the most detailed one that I have seen for any of the 32X's major markets. Unfortunately, the list is written in Japanese, and my efforts at translation were not entirely successful. Chris Foulger (author, the Sega MegaDrive FAQ) has helped fill in many of the holes with his own personal Japanese release. Here's hoping we can eliminate the rest someday. I must also note that Marubaku's list is only good through late 1995 and early 1996, with some tiles still listed as TBA (to be announced). I would be most grateful if anybody can get me a Japanese MegaDrive release list that covers 1995-1998.

What you have here is gleaned from a lot of gaming magazines from the period, what little information is available on the Internet, and sheer guesswork (in some cases). Corrections would be sincerely welcomed.
