Also,Blodia was a crappy hucard right?I think I had it and had to give it away as a freebee in one of my auctions.
I really dont see this one being bootlegged.It wasnt even popular.

Here's a Blodia review...

This review makes the game sound bad. I'm surprised anyone would bother bootlegging Blodia.

Alright, come on guys, lets take it easy, it's not that bad. At least the music was entertaining.

Were you sort of quoting Star Wars here?

Haha, if I was good at remembering the admiral's names and characters like them, I would have quoted it, but I wimped out and didn't want to get made fun of by other Star Wars fans!

Wow, I can't believe anyone still has the slightest doubt about those counterfeit copies. Even that letter from Hudson pretty much proves it: It says: "Please understand that our PC Engine department has shut down a long time ago". That was in 2001. So much for the reprint theory, which was already disproven by the poor printing quality anyway.
[Did you even read my first post? For instance the part about the manual/inserts which were obviously made using an original copy as source since the counterfeiters had no access to the original source material.]
So the people at Hudson couldn't tell if it was was real or not? They simply had nothing left to compare the fake to.

Those who claim the counterfeits might not be counterfeits after all obviously belong to the "I want to believe" (X-Files trademark) faction who completely defy reason. Who am I to argue with you? Instead, I have an offer for you: Would you like to buy a valuably "development copy" of "Space Fantasy Zone" from me? They come on CD-R, but who knows, they might be the real thing. How about I send a CD-R to the original comapny who made Space Fantasy Zone first and ask them if this could possibly be an original prototype, would you then buy it from me?

Maybe if you could get it pressed noob.Maybe then we would buy it.

Emerald Rocker · « **Reply #178 on:** October 21, 2005, 06:00:12 PM »

Actually, some scammer already pressed a bunch of "prototype" Space Fantasy Zone's and sealed them. That's probably what Ceph is referring to. I saw these fakes on Japanese auctions for about 30 thousand yen a year or two ago, which is about 29,999 yen more than they're worth.

At least, I think that's what happened. I'm a noob so maybe I dreamed it all in my head.

Yes, and shortly thereafter a few of these popped up on ebay.fr and ebay.de if I recall correctly. Insanely priced, of course.
