I want real, but sometimes :( I don't want to offend anyone with this but I'd thought I'd ask. Are you completely sure that every single game you own is not a reproduction or a bootleg? I mean some of us just buy in bulk. This is a vary vary heated subject for a ton of collectors, fake games are all over the place, and the real retro ones that were manufactured. Some them are old, and were poorly cared for. and a lot of them might not work Some of the original cartridges have dead batteries in them, and no longer save from what I read. Like Pokemon Gameboy games. Do you open up the game as soon as you get them, and judge them from the inside out? or do you just see if the game works first? To me, as long as I can actually play the game, and lets say it was cheap. Real or not, I would keep it, as long as if it was not dangerous. I want real games, but if it works and plays like the original was supposed to, and you got it cheap, and didn't pay a ton of money for it. Would you still have it in your collection? I don't care what the game companies think, the modern gaming industry, are playing unfair today in my opinion I am prepared to be creamed, but I had to say something because, I know someone will understand. I could just spend money on a modern system. But they are a rip off in my opinion mainly because of the requirement to download the game, before playing 50 gigs of data it sucks |

A majority of my games are legit originals. I own a small handful of reproductions on purpose. I know they are repros I’m not ashamed of it. I just wanted to play the games on real hardware. Shantae for GBC Super Back to the Future II Star Fox 2 Mega Man Wiley Wars Repros. Glad I own them. |

The only bootlegs I have were accidental; a couple of Game Boy Advance carts. I got a genuine replacement for one of them, but not the other, at least not yet. Otherwise, yes, I am very confident that the rest of my collection contains no bootlegs or repros (not counting Majesco reprints of course). |

The only bootleg of a US-released game I have is Castlevania Double Pack. At least it saves correctly. |

I might be a little maticulous. But i work in a Play N' Trade and usually when i buy a couple games i verify they're in working order and original before stocking them into my collection. So im pretty sure they're all original. |
