Most of us here have come across a pirate game now and then. But how often do you come across an actual "fake" game? Fake being defined as a game that never had any intention of actually playing, just looking like a game. Well here's one:
I bought this game in a lot with others from eBay. The description even says this might be a pirate but I was willing to take the chance since I also collect pirate games. When it arrived I could tell it was obviously a pirate. The case insert had all of the Sega logos and copyright information removed. But, since I have seen "fake" games before, I checked the circuit board. There it was, the standard big blob of epoxy (I'm guessing epoxy) to give the cart just a little more weight to make it seem real.
Funny thing is, I messaged the seller about it to get a small refund. He swears the game was tested and working before he listed it! Well I called him a liar to his face and now I'm waiting to see what he comes back with.
Who else has gotten a "fake" game at some point and what did you do with it? I have been keeping them and probably have about 10 now. Just another piece of gaming history, albeit a spurious one. Do some of you throw them away?
