    Default Pirated Spiker?

    Does anyone think that these are pirated? If I thought that they were originals I would have used the buy it now as soon as I saw it. The labels are not the same ones that are on Spiker and the back of the manual looks photocopied to me. What do you think?

    I don't know for sure, but check out the INTVFunhouse link here:
    http://intvfunhouse.com/games/spkr.php#labels

    Here's the description from the link:
    "Large label, square corners; large VOLLEYBALL text, using the 'Super Pro' font, which is unique among INTV Corp. titles; only observed in the 'baggy' version of the game, which didn't ship with a box"

    Of course, it doesn't mean that someone still didn't pirate it.

    it looks real to me... but the pics are a little blurry and you can't really see the manual.

    Well I know for a fact that Triton bought a surplus of Texas Instruments TI 994/a games and sold them for years after they left the stores shelves. I had a TI and for years they sent updated catalogs years after every store in America stopped selling them. They sold old titles and newly developed titles by small 3rd party companies. I've was told they did the same for Intellivision but have no first hand knowledge as I did not own an Intellivision.
