No serial on carts a bad thing?

just wondering if having no serial on your MVS cart means that it is a bootleg or something like that?
Or is there a range of games that never got a serial at all??

It`s only one of my games, but the fact that it does not have a serial made me wonder if this is common or not.

Early games and some later releases didn't have a serial number. Which game is it?

It`s ninja combat, crossed swords and a jap KOF 94

just looked more closely and I have 3

But if that`s not unusual I don`t mind, I was just wondering if there must be a serial or something....

Thanx

Crossed swords and Ninja Combat don't have serial numbers so you are OK there. Japanese MVS carts don't have serial numbers on the actual cart label although some games have a seperate numbered sticker applied to box and cart.

We learn something new everyday.....

thanks
