Super Off Road is a top-down racing game developed by The Leland Corporation and published for a variety of systems including the Sega Mega Drive, Sega Master System and Sega Game Gear; the Mega Drive version was licensed by Sega despite the ROM header saying otherwise. The first bunch released for the Sega Mega Drive is unlicensed, but later a licensed version was released. Yet the cartridge content is the same as the first bunch still making it unlicensed.
