you should check the soldering on the boards, but yet... it's not that easy on AES

maybe he just wanted to sell fast a very used copy, in that case... nice catch ;))

needs more pictures of the insert close up. Don't want the entire insert, just the back and the front.

Remember to take the cartridge sticker off too. We'll need a close up inspection of the glue used. Often the prints are well done and only the glue is the way to identify the fake.

Slug 3 isn't faked that much since Slug 1 and X are the ones worth big money. I'd be willing to bet you got a good deal based on the fact that the cart label is a little messed up.

lachlan, looks like the sticker was taken before , since the seller told me it was glued back again in one of the corners , but it wasnt done by him.

It's really difficult to tell from those photo's, but one thing that stands out to me is that the SNK logo 'looks' a bit fuzzy and a bit off. As does the 'GEO' in the Neo Geo logo too.

I don't own the game myself, so can't really offer any more insight beyond the SNK logo. But yeah, it looks a bit hazy to me. Could mean fuck all, but that's what stands out most to me in these images.

And the glue, obviously...

It must be something related to the camera, it looks quite good when you look at it directly and not through some picture.
