Last Week I bought this complete hang on card which is a cool stuff to own for every master system fans. cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220542201318&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:ITBut I am afraid to have a home made game... The cover is very white, colors don t seem the sames as the others games. When I touch it, I feel like it's a A4 white paper and not a master system cover. I have the same feeling with the booklet, the feeling with this booklet is closed to tec toy booklet. I made some pictures to illustrate Could you tell me more about this hang on card? Have you the same feeling as me? For those who own this card, what about your copy? some pictures:  thunder blade US, Hang on card, Asterix Euro          |

Guess who bought a Hang On card this week from the same seller - yep me! The photo in the auction I bought is exactly the same as the one in yours. Also I was the under bidder, and got a second chance offer, if he is making lots of these, perhaps he sells them to every bidder who put down a large amount. Loose Hang-on cards are not hard to come by. I hope its not fake, but it doesn't look good, mine hasn't arrived yet. And because I had to pay by bank transfer, I guess getting money back won't be easy. I bought a SMSII version of Sonic 2 off ebay before, and the cover was a print out, and ebay didn't refund me a penny and the seller played dumb. Genuine inserts are not actually white, but a slightly cream colour, you don't really notice this unless you put a white piece of paper next to sms insert as comparison. The chances of the same seller having two copies of such a rare game in such a short space of time is not likely  When it arrives I will get back to you with my opinion on its originality. |

Update! I just checked the auction you linked, and I was the under bidder on it. So much for the email he sent me through ebay!: "Hello, the buyer of HangOn has still not payed or send me a mail. So mayb you still interested at this game ? Please send me a mail. Regards Claudio" So it looks like he used the same auction to sell to both of us, and who knows perhaps the bidder below me too  |

I presume you paid by bank transfer too?
A thought just occurred to me, isn't the boxed Hang-On card sold in Germany, actually in German language? And its the Australian version that has the insert and manual in English? This is from a German ebay seller after all.

Most boxed euro copies turn up in Italy, the box text is in English but I assume, as with Great Soccer, that the back of the card is in Italian (I don't own it myself so can't be sure). Either way, it all looks and sounds a bit suspicious. |

The booklet is only written in english and I believed that the boxed german hang on is only a rumor... and according to me a german hang on card would be supllied with a german booklet... |

If it was a seller from any other country I would never have done a bank transfer but insisted on paypal instead. What makes it worse is my bank charged me £20 just to do the transfer.

Add that to the game price and postage, and thats nearly £80 I've blown on this! I really shouldn't have got carried away with buying it when realising it would cost so much. I blame the fact it was late and I was tired having just come home from work when I got the email offering it to me. |

Is it the same person though? as Pr3ston posted a link to the auction me and drrotule both ended up buying, but then said in the same thread that it wasn't him selling it. |

The cover is very white, colors don t seem the sames as the others games. When I touch it, I feel like it's a A4 white paper and not a master system cover. I have the same feeling with the booklet, the feeling with this booklet is closed to tec toy booklet. The grid pattern on the cover of a real one is metallic silver, not grey, thats the best way to check. Sorry to here about these rip offs happening. theres just no way of knowing until you get stung. It's happend to me on a couple Tec Toy games in the past. |

thank you, mine is grey :/
moreover there are some writings (closed to be invisible) inside the cover that come from a printer!!!! Maybe the page he printed before he printed my cover...
I will ask him some explanations...

I've often been tempted by some sellers from Germany who have rare items for sale but they never seem to accept paypal which puts me right off.
