wartoy:
Of all my games I only have 1 fake it's a gba game called shinning souls so i had to buy a legit copy.

aliensstudios:
Yes. The only reproductions I own are on purpose.

oldgamerz:
For me I have one cartridge with 450 games built in on it, so I don't have all originals either. It's not one of those illegal SD cartridges though, but I do have ROMS for the Atari portable device I got from Atari Age Forums

Atari 2600 games that I don't have included in my collection

I tried to get buy more games for my Atari portable device from ATGames website but they had none for sale so I got them from Atari Age, if it were illegal to download those Atari2600 ROM's I am un aware because their is an SD slot built into the device I got. and plus Atari Age has permission to give out Atari2600 ROMs I heard but it could be wrong

bikingjahuty:
Yep, except a handful of repros I know are repros.

I am 99.9% sure all of my games are originals. I can't be 100% sure, because it's not like I've sat down & opened each and every game I own to check the chipset- but I don't think I've got any fakes. I'm generally pretty meticulous about where I buy my games, and most of my cartridge games were purchased before the retro bubble & online shopping really hit- therefore, before fakes really flooded in.

I think, of everything I own, the one I'm most concerned about being 'fake' is my CIB copy of Starfox 64. That's largely becuase it's in pristine condition, but came from a shop not known for pristine condition... and that doesn't screen for fakes. I try to compare to online from time to time, but I can't find anything wrong with it. The print's clean, there's no errors I can find, it's got the incidental paperwork like a Nintendo power mini flyer- I've even opened the cart up & checked it, it looks fine. Until I get a chance to look over a legit box in real life, or put mine in the hands of a reputable source for confirmation, I'll probably continue to be suspicious of it. It wasn't expensive though, so as long as the cart itself is real I don't think I'd mind much finding out the box is repro.
