but what was the purpose? To annoy collectors two decades on? I mean: to sell games they couldn't otherwise sell?

To annoy collectors two decades on? It seems didn't work for me... to sell games they couldn't otherwise sell? Yes, I believe that was the purpose... Can you tell me what's the point of putting down as classic the Wimbledon? Or the Desert Speedtrap? I don't think they are classic games, there are many other 'more classic' titles... A great example is SOR, it was very strange for me there wasn't a classic...

It makes sense that there is a wimbledon, Ayrton Senna, Desert Speedtrap and Lucky dime caper classic. If "old excessive stock" was the reason of the classic. All they had to do was reprint a cover because all the rest stayed the same. Also for the more popular games such as SoR, there easily was a stock they couldn't get rid of.

That link re-directs me to the forum index, so I can't see the thread. Is there any chance you could summarise the reasons for thinking it's fake? Thanks for letting us know, by the way. More discussion on the matter is always a good thing. :)

I think I just searched through that whole forum, but not one thread about SoR..
edit: even the links inside the forum to the thread: "Nuevo" juego aparecido para Master System doesn't work... Probably because I'm not registered.

I don't mind spending a large sum of money on a rare game, but I'm not touching this. No offence to the seller, but this whole situation doesn't feel right. I still haven't seen what I would class as a decent picture of the game for a start, even the auction photo is crap. Good luck to whoever wins .

Well, whoever wins, can ask his money back for an item that was not like it was described right? Selling false copies of games is, as far as I know, still illegal?
Of course, it's up to PayPal again to rule on the transaction and that's not too comforting...

All the seller has to do is say he didn't know they were fakes. Ask around, I know at least 4 people on here that have been stung with reprinted covers and never got their money back, me included.

It's easy to say it's fake when it's a rare game, don't worry for me the variante of Sonic and Batman are fake too.
project2 if you can give the direct link please.
By the way i've the scan of the jacket who can show at everybody it's not a fake; but for some reason i will not post the scan now, i think you understand.

And even if the seller didn't know that what they were selling was a fake, it's still illegal; PayPal would know that and should side with the buyer. By the way i've the scan of the jacket who can show at everybody it's not a fake; but for some reason i will not post the scan now, i think you understand. Actually, I don't. No offence, but that doesn't make sense.

It's easy to say it's fake when it's a rare game, don't worry for me the variante of Sonic and Batman are fake too. I'm not saying it's a definite fake, there's just too much that doesn't seem right for me to risk my money on bidding on it. Do you want to know the main thing that's putting me off? Right after the first pics and stuff were put up on this forum I was talking to a friend of mine about it (who doesn't believe it's real). I bet him that there'd be some story or other coming soon and that there would miraculously be a few more copies in the sellers possession that would now be for sale... Plus you just bought some printer ink cartridges before these extra copies appeared according to your ebay feedback. I'm not touching this with a bargepole, but I suppose we'll find out if it's real or not when the auction is over. Anyone willing to spend that amount of money on a variation will be able to tell the difference between a fake and the real deal straight away when they get their hands on it. EDIT: I just re-read that and it sounds like I'm being a real bottom hole. Everything I've typed so far has just been my opinion and any comments I've put about the game are just what I would personally check (from any seller) before buying an expensive game, previously heard of or not. If it's real then I'm very happy you found a copy or two .
