I'm happy for someone to just transfer the Radical Dreamers ROM onto a blank SFC cart. Labels, boxes, instruction manuals are not necessary since they never existed in the first place.

I like my stuff to be physical.

I've never heard of Nightmare Busters. A quick search shows that NB is an unreleased Super Famicom game by Japanese developers Nichibutsu.

If it's unreleased, then how come it comes with boxes and instruction manuals like the ones shown in the photos? Or was it planned to be released but ended up not but someone managed to get a hold of the official box/manual and digital assets (e.g. artwork) and duplicated it?

Or is the whole thing (box art, game label, game manual) custom made? If so, then that's impressive and looks like the real thing (if it did exist).
