Resident Evil Gaiden (Bootleg Game Boy?)

[ErmangelnSeelen]

I remember this game being what, $30 or so complete? That's not really why I made the thread though. I'm wondering, is bootlegging of game boy color games common on ebay? I know there are fake DS games, so I'd like to be sure. There are a few auctions up BIN that, while expensive, don't seem totally unreasonable. Think they are legit?

Both of the stores list Tennessee. Coincidence? :o

I'm sure I'll try the forums some more before biting the bullet, but I wanted to see what you guys think.

Unless it's really obvious, there's no way of telling if it's fake or not without looking at the number that's inside the... opening of the cart... sorry I'm half asleep right now and I can't think of what it's called. All Game Boy/DS games are subject to bootlegging, pretty much. That seems like a fair price for a CIB of that game, but I don't think it's so cheap that it's gotta be a fake.

I rarely encounter fake GBC games on ebay. Most of them use classic gameboy cartridge and painted them with red colour. However they do exist.
