Hi

Found this listing in my local city for fair price (been watching it for month and seller finally dropped price)

does this look authentic? I think it does, but cant find lot of picture reference for European version so would love to hear what people have to say here

Thankies

I would say it's a fake for one reason. At the top of the cartridge port your picture has writing that says High Definition Graphics/Stereo sound. I have never seen an original European Megadrive with that written on it.

Here is a picture of an official Euro Megadrive.
