I saw this auction on ebay. It looks very iffy and I know it's not the PAL version.
So, is it legit?

Doesn't look right... wish I had it, so I could offer confirmation. Someone?
I'm no expert but that is nether the PAL (which I have) or the Japanese one, it is most likely a bootleg I would say and I'm sure bbobb would agree.
It's a bootleg. That's art from intro sequence.
I don't own it either, but that's one giant glaring bootleg. It shows in everything from the lack of labels on both the box front and cartridge to how they didn't even resize the cartridge picture (they just squashed it). I also don't remember seeing pictures on cartridges, they usually just had the stylized text.
In any case, that's a rip no matter how you slice it.
[edit] Now I see, it's just two screenshots.
Nope... that is very much a bootleg. Both the Japanese and European versions have blue borders on them, and covers that look nothing like that.
A bootleg? On ebay? No way! Not with their rigorous enforcement of copyright laws! :p
rigorous, as long as they don't put words like bootleg etc. in the auction title/description they usually don't find them... I had my auction cancelled for a Final Fantasy XI PC Beta version since they don't allow the sale of beta software, I just removed the words beta from the title and description and I had no problem ;)
It's then when I found out why I could never find a Werewolf Apocalypse beta game on eBay, I hate thier stupid rules :mad:
Bootleg
That is a bootleg.
Uh... bootleg.
But is it a bootleg? :p
No, its legit.
*whew* I was getting the impression it was a bootleg. :p
Looks fine to me.
The bad news is, Icepick is NOT impressed.
Poseur.
That game's about as real as a Pink Elephant in a purple tu-tu.
I'm surrounded by them.Quote:

So... who's buying it? ...Melf?
Shinobi!
Gel toob.
If the bad labels weren't a dead giveaway, the auction description sure as heck is :)Quote:

It's definitely a bootleg.
The real thing looks a lot like this...
Heh, just realized that's what your old avatar was Sidez. I had a brief "Treasure fan" phase quite a while ago, but realized that they weren't quite what they're cracked up to be. Alien Soldier's too pricey to take a chance on, plus it's not even a shooter. ;]
I still would like to play Guardian Heroes one day though.
Has this turned into an Alien Soldier bashing thread yet? Someone tell me when it does, so I can play too.
Random OT statement: Everblue 2 is fun.
Well, my post is a step in that direction.
Cigs -
I've played the rom quite a bit & I would say that it really is one of the better run & gun action games I have played. Keep in mind that it is Treasure we are talking about so it is a boss-fest. Great game, but I couldn't see dropping a lot of cash on it.
Guardian heroes is totally worth it. Great game, & since you import almost eveything else, you look into getting the japanese version, which is usually a good deal cheaper than the US release.

Alien Soldier is a really great game, and it has more gameplay than each any contra game. And it's definetely better than AW. :pQuote:

Alien Soldier is by far the best run and gun game ever. The sheer speed and technique required is amazing. Makes the SNES look quite silly. I'll always be a Treasure fan, they simply make the best action games around.
cigs - as soon as I can work out how to do a wide screen avatar for Epsilon he will return :)
I want to play this. It looks really interesting. Too many games...Quote:
