I just recently moved from America to Sicily, Italy and I need your assistance. I was very fearful that moving out of country was really going to tamper with my collecting and it has to and extent.
But I was in the local Gamestop out here and I was looking through the Pal selection of PS2 titles and I noticed a couple games that seemed interesting. That were exclusives out here. So while I do miss my American games I do embrace the fact that I can start over in the sense of a new selection of games. I bought my first PAL game today and it is called Splatter Master and it looks awesome ( Still currently need to buy European PS2).
What I need help with from are amazing community here at Rfgenerations is some suggestions on PAL exclusives that I should keep a eye out for. I thought I knew my stuff when it came to gaming but I just got a big wake up call. Please Help and share as much knowledge as you can with this new market to me.
Has anyone encountered a misprinted game or a mess up in the artwork if so let me know.
I use to work at a Gamestop and one of the coolest things that I seen was a misprinted game. A customer came in with a used copy of Lord of the Rings the thrid age and claimed the game was Crash Bandicoot Twinsanity for the PS2. The artwork on the disk and on the case was Lord of the rings the third age, But after testing it out it did load up Crash Bandicoot and it was defiantly a cool experience to find something like that as a collector. Both games were made from EA so that most defiantly plays a role in how it got messed up at the factory but it is still interesting knowing that it slipped through the cracks.
I also was at a Local Salavation army today and I found 4 copies of World Tour Soccer 2002 still sealed for PS2. Most people would not care because they are just some old sport games. But what made me get excited was the fact that they were factory sealed and the artwork was missing. All it had was it's PS2 label on the top of the case labeling it as what game it was. It was the original seal and a cool find. That was defiantly another mistake that slipped through the cracks. How does 4 copies (Most likely alot more) go through the assembly line and not get noticed and then get boxed and shipped out and going where ever it went to end up at a Salavation army still sealed black case and all.
Another interesting thing I have seen was 2 copies of Arena Footbal Road to glory factory sealed and then opened up and was missing its disk and manual.
Has anyone else experienced any Game misprints or factory mess ups? I know they are rare but I am sure I am not the only one to come across stuff of this nature.
