Secret "Anti-Super Nintendo" Screen in Trouble Shooter/Battle Mania - IndyGo - 01-02-2013 10:54 AM

In JPN version of Vic Tokai's Battle Mania (known as Trouble Shooters in US) for Genesis, if one holds the C button on Controller 2 while the game's started up, it displays the protagonist Madison stomping furiously on a console which closely resembles an SNES.

The story goes that the director/producer was annoyed that the budget and team members he needed for this game were mostly taken by another in-house project for the SFC/SNES and thus got his own back by putting this little gem into the game.
The upshot of this was that Sega sent a fax to all its developers warning them not to deface other companies' characters or trademarks in their games.
