I got my hardcase bloodlines SEALED off ebay last year for 16.50 (it's in my collection pics). Now look at the price. oh_no

The most common version is the re-released cardboard box (I hate those boxes).

wow, i never saw the Genesis castlevania boxart before, that's really cool. The UK version i have (and the cheapest one to boot wink ) has the same cover as the jap version , 'vampire killer'

it is rare, maybe 1 in 10 ebay auctions are for the hardcase, even complete it's a hard to find, most of the auctions are cart only, or the cardboard version, I saw a sealed cardboard box version go for 27 dollars a few monthes ago.

mega bomberman is also another hard game to find mint complete in us version, it was only released in the cardboard box, and most you see complete are fucked up.

But you can get the UK version mint for 10 and under, I got mine brand new for 12.50, it comes in the hardcase with japan insert art too. (UK comix zone is hardcase as well, but u need a game genie it has lockout chip).

just FYI every single UK game comes in hardcase except for Sonic and Knuckles and the early 'Ballistic' branded titles (turrican, double dragon e.t.c) This was because they were never actually given permission to produce mega drive titles by Sega. Sega filed a law suit and Ballistic were closed down.

I have it, but its only in good/great condition. Complete though.

I got a lot of my Genesis games (including a mint gunstar) when a lot of the indy game stores were going out of business in 97/98/99.

the lawsuit was VS accolade, who published those games.

originally, the judge sided with sega, and sega won. however, accolade appealed the decision and went before a new judge, Reinhardt. he viewed the case differently and decided that because most of the work accolade was producing was original, when compared to the few lines of code that bipassed sega's lockout, they were contributing positively to the market. sega was pissed.

although Reinhardt didn't completely clear accolade, he dismissed most of the injuctions set upon them. later, accolade made "barkleys shut up and jam", as an official licensee of sega ent.

thats your history for today kids-

theneocheesewedge · Jan 26, 2003

Baseley09 · Jan 26, 2003

Ill stick to the uk version for aroung £5 thanks.

RiotoftheBlood · Jan 26, 2003

Yeah, I have the cardboard box version. I hate the boxes. What the hell was Sega thinking? Talk about cheap.

I think all or most of the box games were released by majesco.

I hae them too, they don't match any of your hard cases, and they are ushually bent up pretty bad even if they're complete.

How much is that US Mega Bomberman worth? I still have one complete in very good condition.

The Japanese version of Bloodlines must be very rare. When I went to Japan in the summer of 2001, I recall seeing a copy of it in an Akihabara "Trader" store for some ridiculously high price. I think it came out to well over $100.00 USD.

it is rare, but the only different is the title screen and jap text in the cutscenes. pretty pointless, the us and euro versions are not censored at all.

hardcase bloodlines for genesis is rare as hell
