Imo i would remove that, and as long as you play it and not entomb it in sealed acrylic its cool. I have bought lots of sealed games, always open every one. Just don't indoctrinate us in grail lore is all we ask.

Buying a sealed game nowadays is mostly doing a blind bargain... there's always a feeling of dirt, attrition and burnt with the jewel case being cracked: mint > sealed.

Buying Sealed Aes games is pretty pointless. It just comes with a sticker which you could remove and just stick back on and it still doesn't keep the case and insert from getting damaged. I've purchased many sealed and used Aes games and sometimes the used game would be in better condition than the New Sealed game. Sealed Neo Geo Games sometimes came with factory flaws like blemishes on the cart, double cart stickers, cracked trays. Just take the sticker off and enjoy the game.

Would be easy to ‘seal’ fake kizuna encounters on eBay, then come up with some shit about finding a box of them in Germany.

But I’m not a cunt, so wouldn’t.

I purchased one NOS AES game in the last ten years, and that was Alpha Mission II. I only bought it because it was only like twenty more than an opened copy. Fucking sticker residue after I peeled it off drove me nuts

Stickers are always annoying, good thing we have orange goo-gone. Just make sure if you do it to take the insert out etc and clean it up afterwards.

I find it very hard to believe that, in 2018, there are still Neo games that have never been opened.

Certainly, they existed...

You just described 50% of madman's collection!

I actually had a few early games that were still sealed just a couple of years ago, sold them on here since I figured if I haven't played them by now I'll sell them to someone who will.

I still have a sealed Neo CD Last Hope because I normally play it on Dreamcast.
