Question about new games in snaplock boxes

Whoops read the post wrong, I have only seen them on the side, not attached to the back.

Aaah... a 'seal' thread! I like this stuff!

Well, what I can really say is nothing is 100% sure with SNK.

The seals we're talking about where designed for use with the ld style cases. Most probably SNK just keeped using them on snaplock boxes too till they ran out of them.

Another kind of seal is reported to exist. A small, full olored adhesiv NeoGeo logo. It seems i was used on some of the FIRSTS snaplock games.

I got a KOF95 with it from NeoBomber himself.

The last games which used the seal where released in 97. We're talking about Gekka1 or KOF97, but there's nothng like a clear mark.

This is SNK after all... do you remeber the infamous GoldWarning sticker issue? You got the idea...

KOF98 was sometimes reported to be seale with a special full-paper white adhesive custom seal, too.

And what about the baggies? I've spotted something like three kinds of baggies which seem to be official SNK just forthe 'small size' instruction blookets.

Once I even got a brand new game in whichthe baggie was well closed with a good old piee of extra-common adhesive tape.

SNK, I love you. Thank you for feed so well all my collection paranoias...

The world upside-down is the world we live in.

Got all your stuff here, BTW.

edit: The Last Blade was the first game not to use the sealing sticker.

Strange,since it was so small it didn't really seal anything.

I've seen those a bunch of times, however ONLY ever on KoF '95, as Shito mentioned on that copy I sold him. What game(s) have you seen them on?

I THOUGHT that statement of mine was wrong somehow.

I have hear a Samurai Spirits Amakusa Kourin which has that same colourful NG sticker on the side. So that's two games now. Anymore?
