I bought a copy of Pocky & Rocky 2 on SNES and Zero: The Kamikaze Squirrel for Genesis today from a used game store, but I have reason to believe that they are factory sealed. I researched what sealed SNES and Genesis games look like on eBay and whatnot, but still can't determine for sure if these are genuinely sealed or not (if anything, they are resealed display copies, with unused stuff inside of them; the store I bought them from is an independent that was in business back when these were new, and I think I just got old stock).
The Pocky & Rocky 2 does not have that vertical seam on the back like the sealed games on eBay seem to, nor does it have a hangtag, but it is nice and tightly sealed with a straight seam around the edge, minus the left side.
The Zero: The Kamikaze Squirrel is sealed with that thick shrink wrap, and the hangtag on the clamshell is sort of pushed down by the wrapping. There's a straight cut hole there to allow for the hangtag popping out, but it's as if it missed a little bit, and is instead pulling the tag down some.
I'd post pictures of these so you guys could look for yourself, but I don't have a digital camera. I bought these games to play, but if they are legitimately sealed I'll just hawk them on eBay or hold onto them as trade bait and buy cart-only copies later. So, does it sound like these are actually factory sealed? Do factory sealed SNES games always have the vertical seam on the back? And how exactly were clamshell Genesis games sealed?
