    Maybe it means the game has the same data across all regions? Though it seems like only Genesis/Mega Drive ROMs have that

    this is why i have the following page bookmarked:

    iirc (world) means that version has no region lock or...something.

    if you happen to see this, ragnar. might you be able/willing to update that old post to include (world) somewhere in it? all i see with the word "world" mentioned is "(F) World (Genesis)" but that's probably something else.
