A Taiwanese role-playing adventure that Super Fighter Team brought to English-speaking Genesis owners on a real cartridge.

Beggar Prince began life as Xin Qigai Wangzi, a Chinese-language role-playing adventure from C&E that came out in Taiwan in 1996. It is an unlicensed cart, made without Sega's licence. The English version is an official release from the North American company Super Fighter Team, which began shipping it in May 2006. It was the first Genesis game commercially released in North America since 1998.

The cart is large for a Genesis game, at 32 megabits. Super Fighter Team made it in three production runs, and the third changed the box and manual art and reprogrammed the save feature so it works on all Genesis and Mega Drive systems and compatible hardware, such as the Nomad and 32X.

Before you buy

Ask which print run a copy is from, because the third run's save feature is the one built to work on every console. Test that the game saves. The Taiwanese cart is the Chinese-language original; the Super Fighter Team cart is the English one, so be sure which you are buying.
