Non-Sega versions of the game are called Sink or Swim, and the working title for the Sega versions was simply Man Overboard!.
The game has you play as Kevin Codner, rescue mariner extraordinaire tasked with saving passengers from the S.S.
Similar to Lemmings, this requires guiding the passengers to an exit by interacting with the environment.
If the player takes too long the room will be flooded.
Neither the Mega Drive or Game Gear versions of S.S.
Lucifer: Man Overboard! were released in North America or Japan.
They remained exclusives for Europe and Australia.
About Sega Genesis
Known as the Mega Drive outside North America, the Sega Genesis (1988/1989) was Sega's most successful console and Sonic the Hedgehog's original home, fueling the "console wars" era against Nintendo's SNES. Genesis cartridge collecting is well-established: common sports and platformer titles are affordable, while sports-license and later-era games with smaller print runs can carry a meaningful premium.
Gamevaro tracks Man Overboard for Sega Genesis with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Man Overboard to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GEN release dates back to 1994.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Man Overboard has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
