More factory sealed Gradius goodies

[Klatrymadon]

Bloody hell, those are lovely. Who's your source?

*looks over at tatty old Gradius boxes*

eBay actually, there's currently another sealed GIII from the same seller there too.

Surely "factory sealed" games should still have the Nintendo strip along the cellophane? Those look more like they've been shrinkwrapped to me.


Sorry if I'm wrong - I'm not sure how Nintendo USA handled their SNES games - but I'm sure they should have an original Nintendo branded seal.

Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo arrived today. Don't know why I've waited this long to get it.



Retroish, I got the 'I Am 8-bit' book yesterday from Amazon.

Are these the strips you were referring to, Kaladron?

Recent additions:

Huge fuss made about this game at the time, now you hardly hear anything about it. Good stuff, Strider with 3D backgrounds.

Bad pressing where Strider 2 disk is actually strider 1 and vica versa. Don't know if that makes it incredibly rare or anything. In New Zealand where everybody just plays Western crap, about 15 bucks for this.

US SNES games all came shrinkwrapped like the one in Vic's pictures. It was only around the N64 that they started shrinkwrapping them with the red strip.

Just decided to start picking up some Saturn stuff - got four games this week, not a bad first 4 to pick I reckon...

IIRC there was only one run of it, and every copy of it is like that. At the very least it's a reasonably common error.

Wouldn't mind coming across a copy for that price, though.

My one is the same mate. Must have been someone sacked at Capcom for that.
