Following on from my list of Sega Card variations, I thought it was about time that we tried to document Italian SMS releases, as there seems to be very little information about them. These were released early in the system's life and are pretty scarce. The insert tends to be in English, and the manual is fully Italian as is the text on the back of the cart/card. Here's the list I have so far - as always, any additional information will be gratefully received.

[PIC] Action Fighter (IT) – Now, there are no limits^SM.
[PIC] Alex Kidd in Miracle World (IT) – Now, there are no limits^SM.
[PIC] Astro Warrior/Pit Pot (IT) – Now, there are no limits^SM.
[PIC] Bank Panic (IT) (The Sega Card) – Now, there are no limits^®.
[PIC] Black Belt (IT) – Now, there are no limits^SM.
[PIC] Choplifter (IT) – Now, there are no limits^SM.
[PIC] Fantasy Zone (IT) – Now, there are no limits^SM.
[PIC] F-16 Fighter (IT) (The Sega Card) – Now, there are no limits^SM.
[PIC] Ghost House (IT) (The Sega Card) – Now, there are no limits^SM.
[PIC] Great Baseball (IT) – US insert (Now, there are no limits^SM).
[PIC] Great Soccer (IT) (The Sega Card) – Now, there are no limits^SM.
[PIC] Hang On (IT) (The Sega Card) – Now, there are no limits^SM.
[PIC] Marksman Shooting / Trap Shooting / Safari Hunt (IT) – Now, there are no limits^SM.
[PIC] My Hero (IT) (The Sega Card) – Now, there are no limits^SM.
[PIC] Ninja, The (IT) – Now, there are no limits^SM.
[PIC] Pro Wrestling (IT)
[PIC] Secret Command (IT) – Now, there are no limits^SM.
[PIC] Shooting Gallery (IT) – Now, there are no limits^SM.
[PIC] Spy vs Spy (IT) (The Sega Card) – Now, there are no limits^®.
[PIC] Teddy Boy (IT) (The Sega Card) – Now, there are no limits^SM.
[PIC] TransBot (IT) (The Sega Card) – Now, there are no limits^SM.
[PIC] Wonder Boy (IT) – Now, there are no limits^SM.
[PIC] World Grand Prix (IT) – Now, there are no limits^SM.

As well as the above, there are two known regional variants of games which have an Italian insert but the standard European manual and cart.

[PIC] Jungle Book, The (Disney's) (IT) (Il Libro della Giungla)
[PIC] Lion King, The (Disney's) (IT) (Il Re Leone)

Also worth noting is that Cosmic Spacehead was released in Italy with an additional card (product registration/warranty card perhaps?) for the company Marpes. [PIC]

Big thanks to drrotule for helping with this list, and to everybody else that I "borrowed" pictures from.

I know many people won't be interested in variations like these but this is a good starting point for the few who are.

Nice work!

I'm not particularly interested in collecting these at the minute, but I do love reading about variations and it's really cool to see that someone is keeping track of what is available.

Maybe when I finish my PAL MD set (inc variations) then I may think about coming back to the variation collecting for the SMS

I actually think it's a very important piece of SMS history that really needs to be kept track of. Once I get the database thing up and running I think a lot of people will appreciate it, and I'll of course report links back to threads like this so people can keep adding and seeing who's doing the bulk of the work.

Nice one, it's a tough variant to find - I spent years trying to get hold of a copy!
