If its not the only one that's been bootlegged, its certainly the most well known bootleg.  You yourself have one :D

Yep!

I wish I had a custom case and manual for it though (I don't want one that looks too much like the real thing).  Happen to know anyone who makes such things?

In the thread where I gave them away there is a download link buried for some case / manual inserts that have been appropriately doctored to represent the bootleg nature of the discs.

As far as CD games going, sapphire is so far the only well known bootleg.

Don't forget Space Fantasy Zone from the same dude.  That one's pretty easy to pick out as a fake, though, considering that there's no such thing as a retail game.

Personally, I'd use the "too good to be true" measure when deciding. Just be prepared in case that it is a fake and that the seller was unaware of it.

I'd read somewhere that there were boots of Fausette Amour as well, but the person never elaborated on how to tell the difference.  Has anyone else heard of something like this?

If it were a different game, I could perhaps justify the high asking price...  however, for a game which has been bootlegged to death, I'll never attempt to by the legit version.  You almost have to assume you are buying the bootleg, and if it is real, you can be happy.

Not to mention, there are throngs of professionally pressed so close to legit it might as well be legit readily available to play copy of the game...

Almost certainly bullshit.

Good to hear, at least that means my copy is legit then!
