dogbowl | 152 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Would be a high quality reproduction ( down to even adding some flaws to the box) but something about this looks "off" to me. Did early Capcom boxes have hangtabs? https://www.ebay.com/itm/134526737579?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=9uimis-7tsa&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=hMVZmt5QQMy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen that, but it wasn't unlikely for stores to add them. A few of my Game Boy games have them, and I'm pretty sure that wasn't from the factory.

Sumez | 3,134 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Stores usually don't have any issues defacing game boxes I've seen them do worse. Not saying that's what happened here, I'm sure someone else is more knowledgeable, but I do think it's a lot more likely than it being a bootleg. If it's a boot, wouldn't they be interested in making it look more authentic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogbowl | 152 Posted April 11, 2023 Author Share Posted April 11, 2023 For what it's worth, I have found a WATA graded example of this game with a punch-out hangtag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's 1942 with a hangtab. (picture for when the ebay listing is no longer available) Here's confirmation from@ThePhleo that Trojan existed in a hangtab game pak. 14 hours ago, dogbowl said: https://www.ebay.com/itm/134526737579?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=9uimis-7tsa&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=hMVZmt5QQMy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Here's the same link, much easier to read and to load https://www.ebay.com/itm/134526737579 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorEncore | 3,691 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Looks legit to me. Above average condition and hangtab is unpunched, but otherwise looks appropriate. And as others have said, some Capcom games did have hangtabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
