Thanks, I guess I'll go for it since it's one of the few games that I don't have, I'm trying to get all the American/NTSC releases, since it's quite expensive to get also the PAL and Japan releases (plus the need of modded systems to play them). Gaiden is such a bitch to find with box and manual in good shape, so I was excited to find this one... Then Code: Veronica for Dreamcast, which luckly for me isn't that expensive, and the upcoming games and Mercs 3D.
Looks official to me. Usually bootleg copies won't have the Gameboy color title etched into the plastic cartridge but a few do. I know that the Gameboy advance games have a shitload of bootleg copies because there's no etches in the plastic, just a sticker. I bought Castlevania: Circle Of The Moon from gamestop a few months ago only to find out it was a bootleg. Normally I wouldn't mind too much but it can't save lol.
I looked online and there's thousands of Castlevania fans who can't save their circle of the moon game because they bought fakes. Anyways, looks good to me. I hope it's real man, I plan on getting a copy soon as well since it's the only game I'm missing. I just wish it wasn't so damn exspensive!

I have a question too in the same line, I'm planning to buy a copy of RE Gaiden, but here in Mexico there are a lot of bootlegs (games in grey GB cartridges are obviously fake)... I found a copy in pretty good shape with box and manual, but the price is a bit high (around 100 bucks moreless) so I want to be sure before I buy...
Here are some pics:
What do you think guys? It looks legit?
Thanks!

Im pretty much a noob when it comes to collecting RE merch, or for that matter any kind of merch so it didnt overly surprise me Id never heard of bootleg items before now. One question, How can I tell if a figure or game I own is a bootleg?
Well most PS1/PS2 bootlegs are on plain silver discs. CD's having the underside dye with a silver tinge. PS2 having both standard silver CD's ad purple dye DVD's. I have a few of the bootleg Bio and RE games that I snagged off ebay by mistake but decided to keep them since they were rather funny to look at. My bootlegged Bio3 had a laserprint disc with a teal underside.

naw im not mad bra, well a little but not a whole lot. and damn that sucks about your order. anyway heres an update plus some stuff i acctually forgot to take pics of earlier lol
the MOC Licker is the update, everything else was forgotten for pics
hmmm you might be right. beacuse that ones value is $300+ i got mine for $27 (could have boughten the official but beacuse of the other real rare and expensive stuff i have stopped me from doing that). and yup it is REAL thin cardboard and it is opened by the side. but atleast it has the same tracks as the official version witch cover RE0-RE4 and not to mention the quality isnt too bad. and yea sorry about the picture, i didnt wanna take way too many pictures beacuse i have a lot of items and my camera is about 5 years old.
Don't feel bad about the bootleg. The sound quality of it is nearly the same as the official one (but I know you are more mad that it's a bootleg).
I had bought mine from Play-Asia when they were getting blown out and I got a bootleg one from them! I tried to return it but they said they didn't sell me a bootleg copy. I call BS since I opened up the shipping box, saw it was a fake one, and sent it right back after they OK'ed it. About two weeks later I get it back and they say that it's not what they sent me...
Needless to say I'm not happy with them but am willing to forgive if they don't screw up my 15th Anniversary pre-orders (yes, orders). I ordered two of them. One to keep sealed and one to have open and on display. At least they got my Evangelion 2.22 Blu-Ray order correct!
