Post subject: Help Identifying Weird (Pirate?) Mega Drive 2 Carts

On my first visit back to Romania in 1998, I got a videogame system (it says Sega Mega Drive 2 on the package) and two games that I brought back to the US for some weird reason. Well, I suppose that I thought I could somehow get it to work over here (feel free to laugh at my n00bishness, but please also respond with something helpful). Anyway, the things that interest me are the games, which I dug up today. I'm pretty sure that at least one of them is a pirate cartridge. It says several things (in order from top to bottom: 95 in 1, VT-653, 1998, Super) and has some pictures of games/game symbols that aren't actually on it, iirc (Adventure Island IV and 3 Contra Force(?) on either side of the text; bottom row: a picture of a hockey goalkeeper diving, cartoon of a guy shooting a gun with a dog nearby, Mortal Kombat symbol, some cartoon picture with Japanese(?) text and the number 5). The second game is the one that interests me the most. The cartridge says NT-621 and Street Fighter on it, with several other pieces of Japanese(?) text, two of which are preceded by the numbers 96 and 60. On the left side, there is a mosaic-type picture of Chun Li, Blanka, E. Honda, Ken, Sagat, Guile, Zangief, and Ryu. From what I remember, this game isn't exactly a normal version of Street Fighter II, if it could even be called that. I only remember playing it on an old, possibly B&W, TV in Romania, but the character select screen was definitely different from the real SFII game. There was a pretty large, rectangular grid of characters. It may have been 8-by-8 or even larger, but it wasn't necessarily square. In any case, I seem to remember that the character face sprites repeated every line or every few lines. Furthermore, I think that the sprite didn't necessarily match up to which character you actually got when the fighting started. Basically, I'd like to know if anyone can help me identify these games. I can't exactly play them to get any more info. In fact, I should probably destroy the cartridges, since they're most likely pirated. What would be the best way to do that, btw? Thanks for any help. EDIT: I would post pictures, but I can't find any of the digital cameras we have or the USB cables to transfer the pictures.

Yeah, without seeing it we couldn't possibly determine if the text was Japanese, Chinese, or mere gibberish.
