Hi Giulio,

Please post more pictures of the games so we can help better and give us more info about how and when you got those
games.

ummm the reproduction in color looks original,NCI samurai special has more color saturation,i would need to see both
inserts and manuals.

Welcome to the forum,this is a spanish one,would be nice if you can use google translator so other users can read u too.

cheers.

Hi Giulio
The most important thing to recognize it will came out from the manual. Please, as hokuto said, post more pictures of the main parts (insert, sticker front and booklet manual opened)

hello Giulio for the photos is not always easy to know if a game is original or not; I would advise you to learn how to open the cartridge; there are many tutorials on YouTube and it's not that complicated

Both seems legit

Welcome man,

It would help a lot if you could post some more pictures where we could see the stitches of the manual. If the stitches look good and are in the proper emplacement it's almost sure the game is legit.

However, as some told you, the only way to be 100% sure is to open the cartridge but considering the price of the games, if there are originals, you could really mess it up. If you dare then try with a cheaper game before. Even so, the games may have the damn dried glue on the plastic supports and it's not that easy to properly open them.

Let us know

Hello Giulio, I hope you received a little help from us. First and foremost, congratulations for these games!

I would like to express my gratitude to Hokuto29 for sharing his opinion in your thread. I can state that in this country, there's just a few Neo Geo supporters that has a real knowledge that allows them to differentiate between an original AES game and a fake one. Of course, he's one of them. Thanks!

Both seem authentic

muchas gracias

Big thanks llorens!!

Giulio your samurais are 100% original,both of them,i never saw a samurai 5 convert,with special there are some
NCI versions,jap and usa too but color saturation are higher.Neogeo logo doesnt appear when booting a samurai special convert by nci!!!

super tag battle looks original too,color saturation seems legit,manual and cart its ultra mint condition,a bit suspicious
to me.

As a tip be careful with games more than 20 years old and looking like new,some signals of time are a good way to
difference fake or real.

cheers!

muchas gracias hokuto, un placer conocerte ... el manual fuun es bueno, pero se usa el cartucho ... lo compré de un japonés hace 6 años y como sabes, el usado de los japoneses es como nuevo para los europeos
