But one EA Genesis game that contains the logo is ''Shaq Fu'', while ''Baku Baku Animals'', ''Bonkers Wax Up!'', ''Daffy Duck in Hollywood'', ''Double Dragon'', ''Lemmings'', ''Sonic Blast'', ''Streets of Rage'', ''Ultimate Soccer'' and ''Virtual Fighter Animation'' were the only Sega Master System games that contain the logo.
