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

A Sunsoft Mega Drive game that supports the Mega Modem and costs a little less than the middle of the Japan-only carts.

Shi-Kin-Joh was developed and published by Sunsoft and came out only in Japan, on 27 April 1991. Sega Retro lists it as supporting the Mega Modem.

Before you buy

Among Japan-only carts it sits below the middle. Japanese cartridges have a different shape and do not fit a Western console without an adapter or removing two plastic tabs in its slot.
