In this episode of Versus I take a look at an unconventional 1989 beat 'em up developed by Kaneko, called DJ Boy. The game was originally released in arcades, published by Sammy in the US, and ported to the Sega Mega Drive in 1990; and then later to North America. We'll be looking at all of the regional differences between the Mega Drive and Genesis ports, as many changes were made during the conversion from Japan to USA.
