That's exactly the point of the poll thread comparing the two.

If you’re looking for the “Truth” you must first be open to the possibility that the games are real. If you fail at this very first step, there isn’t anything anyone can say or do that will ever change your mind.

I thought everyone adored Tonk and looked up to him like God and protector, now he seems to be like a lost floating sewage shit and people are backing away with fuck you. I wouldn't mind a US aero fighters 3 (Fake) but not for my life savings

Holy mother of God, I´ve been reading this thread and other related to it for the last 2 hours. If someone could make a book out of it, I can assure that it would sell more than the Da Vinci Code.

Can someone please save this thread by posting another controversial picture of obscure Neo hardware? matching patterns on the AF3 insert? a car engine? anything??


I really liked this type of discussion:

"The printing quality of the AF3 art looks like it was digitized and reproduced. So the cart is fake."

"AF3 and PS2 are test copies, and SNK didn't use the same standards as on retail versions, so they can still be legit."

"AF3 can't be a test copy because it has a bar code."

"AF3 isn't an !Arcade! product because the paper thickness is different from PI2."

"AF3 and PS2 are supposed to be test copies but don't have the same issues/printing quality etc."

"SNK used inconsistent printing quality all the time in that era (even on retail games), so AF3 and PS2 can still be legit."

"If you are for real, answer these questions about your employment at SNK and the provenance of the games."

"You won't believe me anyways. But here's a pic of an 8 slot board instead."


I was almost convinced that AF3 was real based on the information provided when it came out.

With the argument that any deviation from a retail game of the same era can be explained by declaring AF3 and PS2 test copies, it remains a question of faith for the owners.

The games can probably still find new buyers (who at least believe they could be real) in a few years. There's been several contradictions in what DavidG and TonK have said during this drama, but most people will probably not go back to check once the dust has settled.

It's possible now since some guy in Spain is selling the kit for it. Just peel the label off a SW3 and put on the new sticker and insert and manual.

Too bad, he wasn't the first otherwise he could have made the 30g's.

This is not true, he was unbanned because some mods realised that banning him wasn't the best thing to do for the buyers right now and giving him just what he wanted wasn't a good idea overall.

You're right though, he kinda abused this with another sale thread which should have been deleted right away imo. He needs to get the AOF3 situtation over with first by refunding all the money he've made out of this before selling anything else here.

I don't get why he don't understand this. If he was someone else, maybe... but the guy who used to be the "I'm-gonna-pistol-whip-your-ass" marketplace police officer?! That's just ridiculous. Money really do change people I guess.

Maybe. Just maybe Tonk is selling his boards and cabs so he can pay people back.

Yeah, and maybe I'm a Chinese jet pilot.

A talented author could spend his/her entire life spinning the tales of the n-g forum into novels.

Just close the thread, there's nothing to be gained here.
