While this is happening, a nearby space station picks up a distress signal.
Tinhead, guardian of the edge of the universe, hears the cries for help and hurries to the rescue.
TinHead is a platform game.
Some exploration is required to find the exit or gather extra health or points.
Attacking enemies is done by shooting them with small metal orbs that come out of TinHead's head.
He can shoot them in three different directions: diagonal upward, straight, or just let them jump out and bounce over the ground.
The direction is chosen by using a specific button.
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 Tinhead [Cardboard Box] 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 Tinhead [Cardboard Box] 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 1993.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Tinhead [Cardboard Box], suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Sega Genesis titles.
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.
