Death and Return of Superman, The (Mega Drive) price, value & rarity
The North American edition of The Death and Return of Superman shipped on a far wider Genesis footprint than the PAL version, keeping both loose and complete prices markedly more reachable. Its appeal rests on the US cardboard box typical of this late generation and on the game's historical footnote as work by a young Blizzard team. The NTSC run remains plentiful enough that the US edition serves as the entry point for anyone wanting the title without paying the European premium.
