German part numbers (Help)

[rupert]

I am trying to complete an artical on German hardware and accessories which follows on from the German software artical I completed last August! (wow, time flys).

So far I am aware of (own) the following specific German official Sega Master System items:

Das Sega Master System (3005-18) - 40001
Der Sege Light Phaser - 40002
Die Sega 3D Glass (Unconfirmed)
Sega Grafik Board (Unreleased) - 40009
Sega Videospiel-Verbindungskabel (Scart - DIN) - 490008
Sega Videospiel-Verbindungskabel (DIN - 2xRCA) - 490009

German Limited Edition SMSII's
SMSII Plus X set
SMSII weihnachtsset
SMSII eXtreme

Now other Specific packaged Germen items may not exsist (I don't think we knew about the Light Phaser untill last year thouh!) but there may be a record of German part numbers in booklets or magazines somwhere? I think I had a conversation with somebody, maybe on MSN, about this subject a while back.

Any input on this would be great.

Well spotted, I missed that

You could also include the german sms ultra case since it has a german only instruction on the back.

Sorry fot the double post but a guy who worked at atiolasoft wrote me that he was quite sure that they released a german 3d glass. ( die sega 3D glass)

How about the SMSII Plus X set. That was only released in Germany as far as I know.

Yes and there was another German only SMSII set.. hmm, I'm sure I have a picture somewhere..

Schlingle - was that the guy you told me about last night? What did he say to you? great news that he answered your email

[schlingel]

there are 3 german cardbox variations known so far,
the sms II plus X
The sms weihnachtsset
the sms eXtreme, that bock owns.
Tell me if you need any pic.

I am talking at the moment to 3 old sega/ ariolaworkers.
One seems to be not very interested, but i will see if he will answer some questions.
The other 2 are very kind, although it seems that one already forgot the most, but at least he could tell me that SEga took all the sample items when Ariolasoft stopped distributing sega stuff.
Hopefully the other still knows a bit more...
Tell me if you have any question which i should ask.

Also you should inlcude maybe the german pro action relays, coz i would consider them more as an accessories than a game.

Hopefully you can dig something interesting out of them.

I wonder if Sega still holds any old SMS protos/ samples of hardware..

I saw some big Sega offices on the outskirts of London a few weeks back..


However a quick google of that shows they only moved in in 2003. But as its the Sega europe head office then i don't see why stuff reclaimed from ariolasoft wouldnt been in some store room there.

I'd be so tempted to pinch that sign if i lived near that office ;D
