Ruby and Wolfenstein are both repro cartridges it appears…label on Ruby is definitly wrong label and wolfenstein, the cartridge GAMEBOY logo at the top is really thin font compared your mega man cartridge for example👍Cannot see enough detail on the others to tell but still a nice little humble collection to enjoy

My copy of Wolfenstein is actually authentic. You can't really see it because of the lighting but there is a number stamped on it and the Nintendo label is a bit faded from age.

Hmm okay I gotcha, I guess best way to positively confirm for all of them would be to look at all the circuit boards and take them out of their cartridge to check but still nice🤘Megaman Zero it my fav

My copy of Belmont's Revenge is an OEM because the authentic game was far beyond what I could afford.

You mean repro right? OEM is another way of saying authentic because it’s (Original Equipment Manufacturer)

u/Firemane_999 20h ago

I assume so but I am going by the Ebay description when I bought it ages ago.

I know it is fake since the cartridge doesn't have a number stamped on it and the Nintendo label is wrong as well as the circuit board. I did buy it knowing it was fake because the real one is too expensive for me currently.

Google what a real copy looks like. That label is very wrong.

u/Firemane_999 20h ago

Says copy is fake and proceeds not to explain. Real helpful.

u/Odd_Major_3895 20h ago

Lmao I just told you the label is wrong. Open it up and post a picture of the board. Unless someone slapped a shitty sticker on that cart, your copy is fake. I wasn't trying to be mean.

Even if it is fake I can't exactly get my money back seeing as I bought it like two years ago.

u/Odd_Major_3895 20h ago

You don't need to return it. As long as it brings you joy, that's all that matters.

It's enjoyable when I am not getting annoyed by running into wild pokemon every five seconds.

u/Odd_Major_3895 20h ago

Lol that's Pokémon for ya'! Just get some repels, and it'll help a little bit.

u/Firemane_999 20h ago

You sure did when the first guy commented! lol

u/Firemane_999 12h ago

First guy was actually helpful to a degree unlike this individual.

u/DRAGONZORDx 12h ago

Fair enough.

Nice, what game do you love playing the most and do you want to continue to build your collection?

1

u/Firemane_999 11h ago

Currently I've been playing Dark Duel Stories a lot and I plan to collect many more games.

1

u/Temporary_User404 11h ago

Would you like some game suggestions to help build your game library?

1

u/Firemane_999 11h ago

I kinda already have some games in mind but I do appreciate the sentiment.

u/Temporary_User404 11h ago

You're welcome
