Summary:
new neo geo grail
the part about adol (or his twin) seeing this game in that store in 95
ex-SNK guy found the stuff in his basement
something about the way the insert is designed (neo geo logo etc.)
something about the 55k deal for U11 and kizuna
the french and italians doubt its genuine, they want age tests in a lab or something like that
two of the games selling for 30k each
doubt about its originality
thats pretty much it.
You talking to me? If so, yes I can still read it.Can you still read some of that?
btw, i have a strange taste
Simone, I have no problem with you not thinking I'm an expert or a Neo authority. And I fully admit that my report is simply my observations which result in my opinion. All I can offer at the end of the day is my opinion based upon my observation or beliefs, for some that is enough, for others (like you) it is not and that's fine. I'm not trying to get anyone to buy this game, but I have a belief about it that I am sharing based upon my observations, people will act on it or not of their own choosing.
However, I have NO idea what you're talking about regarding my statement about Neo CDs. I can't recall ever saying anything remotely like what you said above (English manuals but no backs?) I'm sure I have stated that there are certain English titles which have a manual and case but the CD is in Japanese (games like Blue's Journey).
I also don't know that you have to own every English AES game to form opinions about a game like Aero Fighters 3. I did compare the game (in person, with games in hand) to every other English AES release of the period with the exception of Slug 1, Kizuna and Ultimate 11. Is there really a meaningful distinction for you there?
poor chamane...it hurts buying on faith alone..

Having owned/ checked on hand all neo geo released home carts would sure help form a more educated opinion about this cart, especially if you have to try to spot details that could disclose you truth.
U11, kizuna have peculiar neat touches used only in those releases for example. Just my opinion anyway.
Well, you've read the report, and you own or have owned kizuna, slug 1 and u11, so what did I miss?
I think I have 1 or 2 MVS kits that passed through FTL's hands at some point. Unfortunately, I don't know the provenance of these items. Seeing as FTL is not a trusted Neo Geo authority, What's to say he didn't just print up some flyers from the web and make up some serial numbers?
I'm gonna have to get the paper stock dated, and ink analyzed by a surface scanning electron microscope to verify proper chemical compositions.
Some article about the whole thing in the current issue of the german M!Games. I know most of you fogots can't read it but I'm gonna post it anyway.
Its even making fun of the frenchies and italians
Oh yeah: guess who wrote that piece! -> http://www.neo-geo.com/forums/showthread.php?56799
Carbon dating can't be done on paper, unfortunatelyI'm still laughing that someone suggested "carbon dating" to ensure that the paperwork was legit.
You meant fogot, right?Wow. Exactly 1 decade ago, I was a faggot.
You meant fogot, right?
