I've always wondered if this has happened to anyone else...

Back in 2002 my town there is a strip mall that used to contain Kay Bee Toy Works. Toy Works themselves went out of business for having higher prices than Toys R Us and any other store within 50 miles. As they went out of business they sold off all their old stock they've had hidden in their back rooms since who knows when. They sold off remaining stockpiles of PS2, Xbox, Gamecube, N64, Dreamcast, gameboy, Genesis, game.com games. I took the liberty of buying games like anyone would during this time of their financial downfall and purchased several new Dreamcast games (one of still unopened) including Dead or Alive 2. At the time I was in middle school and more or less flat broke. So this was the last game I was able to purchase and afford. Now I'm sure we all are familiar with this game and how extremely popular it was. Unfortunately for me I have, to this day never played DoA2. Odd as it might seem. Although I purchased DoA2 new, NEVER OPENED, I opened the package to find Dynamite Cop!. Lately, I've rethought about this and wondered if any of my fellow collectors have experienced this? Am I alone?

could have been resealed or the wrong disc could have just been put in I've had games how up at the shop brand new (360 games etc) but without any discs in them at all.

Did you try playing the game? It could be a misprinted disc. I've heard stories of that happening before.(a final fantasy game being on a disc labeled for Cabelas Hunting(ps1 version i believe))

1. the game was always under tight lock and key. You had to get an employee who watched you and you couldn't take it out of their sights. also if you remember how the dreamcast games where wrapped it was all completely unbroken. Also like I said they came from back rooms so they never actually made it to the shelf until they went under and locked it up to sell off the remainder stock.

2. Nope the game is Dynamite cop. I played it... It's a ridiculous game

The thing that bothers me is the fact that manufactures don't even match...

I just saw a thread on these forums sometime within the last week or so. Someone was wondering if misprinted games were worth any kind of real cash.

heh... I wish that was my situation. The game is properly labeled.. It was just mis boxed...
