Is this a fake sega game?

[DOA74]

Hello, I recently bought an old Sega Master System and some games from a garage sale. I have played the games and I am very happy with my purchase. Yesterday however, I noticed that one fo the boxes does not have a bar code for scanning. All of my other games do except this one. I told my friend who said that it may be a fake and to do a search online which led me to this forum. Any help would be appreciated Thank You.

looks legit to me. a lot of the older master system games had stick on barcodes and they peeled off over the years.

[Damaniel]

Hang-On/Safari Hunt was a Master System pack-in title (it came with the console when it was first released) which would possibly explain the lack of a barcode on the box. I'm not near my copy of the game at the moment so I can't compare, but that packaging looks completely legit to me.

a quick google search pulls up the usual gamespot, ign etc links. its a legit release, any good?

I'm fairly certain its legit. I have the same game and don't recall a barcode on the packaging.

yeah your correct it was a pack in title therefore it had no barcode.

safari hunt is light years better than duck hunt

No barcode on mine, secondary confirmation - it's legit.

Legit copy =15cents
bootleg =17cents

My vote goes in the lagit box too, I've had several copies of that and the only one I currently have looks just like that one.

No,it's real,I have the game.

It is not fake. I have all the US SMS games, and have noticed that one and Hang On / Astro Warrior have no bar codes on them.

It's obviously fake. Just listen to how many of "them" are trying to convince you otherwise.

I wouldn't be surprised if you "had an accident" in the future, and wake up to find the "game", as well as this thread, vanished.

Take some pictures with a real camera. Develop one roll, leave the other undeveloped. Stash both in separate places far away from your house, and write a "in the event of.." letter revealing all of these details.

It is absolutely legit, since it was a pack-in software that was bundled with the console when it was first released in 1986 or 1987, and it was not made available separately for retail sale.

I think it's pretty clear now it's the real deal people

Yeah sure. You probably got that off Fox News.
