Strip Fighter II (did I get ripped off) ?

[wilsonw111]

OK, got my copy Trip Fighter II, came in the mail the case looked brand new, but when I look at the HuCard.. uh oh,,,  I feels different then my other cards.  and I see Green colour on the edges beside the gold fingers.,  here are the pics..  is this FAKE ????   = (

They are all fake. This is an unlicensed game. There is no such thing as a "real" copy of Strip Fighter II.

Regardless of its authentically/fakeness, unless you got the game for free you did get ripped off because its friggn terrible.

dohhhhhh~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'd guess that it's not a boot leg; Games Express build quality probably just wasn't quite up to the same level as oem HuCards.

Unlicensed does not equal fake.

Who is this guy?



I bet he has a closet full of Strip Fighter 2's.

Wow, never knew Strip Fighter was never officially released.  Learn something knew today.

Unlicensed does not equal fake. 

Agreed- nor does it equal unofficial in my opinion.  It was released by the company that produced it- pretty official in my books.  If Rover and company put out Mysterious Song while I breath- I'd say it's "officially released"- self released doesn't make it any less official.  If it was stolen- copied- downloaded, etc., and spread about for free or pirated then I'd say that's unofficial.  This is the actual pressing of the game.

Well...OK, but an "official" game, traditionally, is one where the publisher pays a fee to the console maker, which Games Express never did. There isn't any such thing as an official/unofficial Windows game, vinyl record, book, etc  because there is no fee to pay, but in the realm of (%99 of all) consoles there most certainly is such a thing as official/unofficial, whether you want to believe it or not. There are large checks and contracts and lawyers and all sorts of shit to prove it. Almost every dollar Sony has made off video games has come from these fees.

I'm not referring to any sort of morality or ethics anything, I'm just telling it like it is. Someone who wants a complete Neo Geo collection doesn't have to waste $600 on Last Hope...thank God. Someone who wants a complete PC Engine collection doesn't have to buy anything after Dead of the Brain. When Mysterious Song is released (just after Duke Nukem Forever I think) they can sell you an official copy of Mysterious Song, but they can't sell you an official PC Engine or Turbografx 16 game because NEC doesn't license them anymore.

I guess I sort of phrase shit incorrectly. Strip Fighter II feels like a pirate release because...well, back in the day they did actually get referred to as pirate releases. Its actually worse than a pirate release though, really, because usually a pirate cart is a facsimile of something that's actually worth playing. In the case of Strip Fighter II the low-grade HuCard and logo-less packaging are actually better than the code stored in the ROM.

ha,,  but I found out I can use my 6 button Avenue Pad on this other then just Street Fighter...

(I finished the game in like 20minutes..).... dumb... wasted my HKD90.

Goot thing is.. I just got myself a copy of Macross 2036.. (now that's a Great game. ) ya baby..

uh... that's Elvis....

[Tatsujin]

yeah..a great look a like he is.


the game express hueys indeed where not made of the same quality than the official ones. which you can see well from its printing quality and generel manufacturing. they're also lil'bit heavier in weight iirc, and need bit more space in the hu-slot.

No, it's not a fake. That's what the game is actually like. I've owned it before as well...sold it though because the game sucks SO bad that it wasn't worth keeping. But then again, almost all Games Express games suck hardcore.

[Ratix]

I emulated that game before. it wasn't as awesome as i anticipated.
