Sega Genesis prices, all games & how to spot a fake

A plain early Genesis football game from Sega that is one of the cheaper US carts.

Joe Montana II: Sports Talk Football was developed by BlueSky Software and published by Sega, reaching North America in November 1991, Europe in January 1992 and Japan on 24 January 1992. Previewing it in August 1991, Mean Machines felt it still was not as good as John Madden.

What the press said at the time

Game Informer Issue 3	January-February 1992	Overall 8.25 (Andy)
Mean Machines Issue 17	February 1992	83%
Mean Machines Games Guide	May 1992	OVERALL 83%
Mean Machines Sega Issue 3	December 1992	83%

“The play-by-play and the large characters make up for some of the deficiencies, making it a successful improvement over the original. Overall, Joe Montana 2: Sports Talk Football is a very entertaining title.”
— Game Informer, January-February 1992

“Rather than tackle John Madden head-on, Sega have taken an unusual approach with this one and the end result is a stunning showpiece game.”
— Mean Machines, February 1992

“John Madden's Football ^2 is the best American football game by far, but this is original and different enough to still be a very worthy purchase.”
— Mean Machines, May 1992

“Joe Montana 2 is a significant departure from its predecessor. The game is now horizontally scrolling with close-up views of the action. Best of all is the digitised speech which provides a running commentary through a game.”
— MegaTech, September 1992

Before you buy

Among US carts it is one of the cheaper ones. The European loose cart usually costs less than the US one, while a complete European copy usually costs about the same. The Japanese cart usually costs less loose and a bit more complete, and it is a different cartridge shape. A complete US copy means the case, cartridge and manual.
