TENGEN PCB Layouts - Genesis

TENGEN, at one time was a divison of ATARI GAMES.  They published many of their arcade hits to the Sega Genesis.  Their ROMs range from 2 Megabit to 16 Megabits using the same PCB.  What's interesting, is Time Warner Interactive bought ATARI GAMES at some point, which obviously gave them control of TENGEN.  Although Red Zone was published as a Time Warner Interactive title, it is produced on the old Tengen boards.  Serial numbers can be located on the back of the PCB at the top.

What I find interesting about these, is some of the games were published before 1993.  Yet the PCB's all have 1993 printed on them.  Either these are frauds or re-releases, any suggestions would be appreciated.  rnepereny@yahoo.com
