Okay here's the deal. I got Art of Fighting 1 off of ebay. I like the game, and it's cheap, but it was advertised as a "New, unopened" cart. Seeing as how the game is very old, and this same guy ALWAYS has one up on ebay I doubted it, but the price was dirt cheap and I went for it.

Lo and behold, this thing is ACTUALLY still factory sealed. I went ahead and opened it and played...

Art of Fighting isn't a very expensive game, but would you guys keep it unopened to add value to it as a collectors item and then find a cheap MVS version, or would you do the same as me and open that bitch up? This goes for other, more expensive games also.

This game is too good to be put behind glass, just play it.

Most AOF version aren't really rare, while some are; look at the price guide.

I don't know about you, but i have unfortunatly never had the joy of actually opening up an unused Neo Geo game. If even just for the expereience (if that's what it is anyway) I would tear into it like a box of Coco Puffs.

YOU IDIOT! Have you any idea how hard it is to find a game still sealed... just kidding! Finding a still-sealed Art of Fighting AES cartridge is a rare find, but it's not earth-shattering. Besides, Art of Fighting is about as common as a Mars candy bar; it's not available everywhere, but it's not difficult to find. Now if it were a still-sealed copy of Art of Fighting 3 that you opened up and played, well, let's just say I'd be a lot less forgiving.

By the way, if you ask Dr. NeoGeo nicely enough, I'm sure he'd tell you what sealed games are and aren't hard to find.
