Oh Schnap! Great find schlingers. Could it have had a very small early release in germany?
That would back up my theory* that there was a boxed german hang-on commercially available.
*wild, speculative hunch.

That floppy disk has no mention of sega on it, I think that picture was "photoshopped" together by whoever did the site, and three items in it where never actually together. The disk seems to be in there for a size comparison, and the hangon image may well have just been taken from here or smspower.

That picture with the red hang on is defintely not from smspower because he mentions on the bottom the site that it is from the magazin "happy computer". i try to buy that magazin and then i can make a scan from the whole site.

I just read the whole thing and the reason that the disk is in there is because they want to make a point about the sega cards, they were the first to have games on cards, later followed by the pc engine. So it has nothing to do with anything except to show the evolution from cardridge to card. And who said I never learned anything at school?! And about the 'happy computer' stuff, that was used for getting the info about the PC engine and that's probably where he got the picture of the diskette. It's also a magazine which also owns power play. If you really want to know about that red hang on thing I think you should get 'Power Play Special 1': Videospiele im vergleich' which mean something like, Videogames in comparison. Edit: the videospiele im vergleich means he found the info in the videospiele im vergleich section of the magazine, so aktuelles behind the rest probably means he found it in the news section. That Quellen bit is the list of sources he used. See this site: www.kultpower.de/ for some power play and happy computer info. Click on the cover link. Searched that site and none of the power play editions have info about hang on. So it must be the happy computer one, or it's in one of the news sections.

Thats rather fantastic, has anyone tried to contact them about it? I have already contacted him about that picture and he said that it is defenitely from a "happy computers" magazin. Also he tries to scan the whole page but first he has to find the right magazin and that could take some time because he has a lot of them. Also look at the cart. It says just "Trap Shooting/Safari Hunt". By the way, did Onyx ever ask the seller where he got it from?

I always thought the Red Hang On card was a packaging prototype, this confirms it even more. You could always make your own joypads like that, the earliest ones do have side exit wires and the removeable rubber plug for screwing in the little joystick. You could get one of those, take the D-pad out and spray it white

The page linked to in the first post is no longer there, but there is an archive of it here. As schlingel points out above, the source of the Master System picture on that page is the German "Happy Computer" magazine (October 1986). I have found the source of the red Hang On card picture: it comes from the very next issue (November 1986)! There are scans of the entire magazine here and higher-quality scans of part of it (including the Hang On picture) here.
