Streets of rage classics?

[drrotule]

Does someone hear something about a classic version of streets of rage?

In a french website, there is the following item:

www.leboncoin.fr/consoles_jeux_video/172812894.htm



is it a fake? or cover never met by any fans?

The game is already sold (5€ the game) and shipped. Unfortunately I m not the buyer...

It's new to me, but it could be real... After all, the Robocop Vs Terminator classic version was only discovered in 2005. Plus, this game was most likely popular, so a re-release wouldn't be too surprising.

Having said that, it's hard to tell from that image (also; the link doesn't seem to work for me).

/me Aypok senses dozens of collectors suddenly shivering and not knowing why.

Ow nice, if it were a fake, it looks like a decent job. As Aypok said though, it could very well be real and I'm intrigued...

Damn... I'm guessing you don't have a larger version of the image, do you?

[Private Joker]

Can you ask the seller to give you the contact information of his buyer? Tell him it's of the outmost importance to the Sega 8-bit community

This is a very real possibility as there is a Classics re-release of SOR on the Game Gear. It doesn't look right though, maybe it's just because I haven't seen it before. I shall do some more research pronto!

Edit: I'm gonna jump straight in and say it's a fake. My reason: The title on the cover. Sega game covers are pretty consistent over the different consoles in there layout when it comes to Classics. Check out The Ottifants or Batman Returns on SMS/GG and MD, all are consistent. Now check out SOR in this pic (from GaryFoo's collection):

Compare it with the title from the SMS version in that pic, just looks wrong doesn't it. I'm not totally discounting it but without more evidence....

I'd say it's legit.
some random guy on leboncoin selling some random game for 5 euros, can't see why he would fake it.
DAMN ! I'm so excited

[drrotule]

I know the buyer and I will forward every informations he will give me.

Kenneth> I believe the game was found in your city! (lyon)

ninjabearhug> I understand and it is well observed but in this case what's the goal? To print a fake cover and sell it for only 5€? Or to sell 6 common games (SOR was included in a lot of 6 common games) for 30€?...

France seems like a Mekka for these kinds of things

[Private Joker]

OR! He just planned the whole thing and is just arrousing(??) an interest so he can start selling off his hundreds of copies in the future

Smart thing to just sell of in a random lot then

yes this is french meka

[ninjabearhug]

I'm not against this being real, just hate chasing fantasy . Reasons? Gunstar Heroes and Thundercats on SMS anyone? No reason for those either, just because.

I do hope its real, I do have a thing for classics ;D.
