Title: TurboDuo Pack-In Ys?
Post by: pdiggitydogg on August 25, 2015, 10:30:03 PM
Can anyone tell/show me what the Pack-In version of Ys looked like, when sealed?
I came across this recently...and I have never seen the game outside of the internet.
It's just a simple white/clear case without any label or manual. The wrapper is clear and has a rip-cord style tab to open it.

That may be it.

Or not.

Only our Creator, FEKA, will ever know.

That sounds about right.  The games (Ys and GoT) were in generic white jewel cases in a long, white box, and the manuals were in a separate bag.  The seal is easy enough to fake, so I wouldn't pay more for that; and unless it includes the box, bag, and manuals too, it's not worth more than a nice open version.

I got my Duo at launch and none of my pack in games were sealed.  Seemed new, but were never sealed.  I wonder if I was the only one.  Necro is right though that they were in generic cases.

I don't remember if mine were sealed or not either, goosey.  I'm opening my stuff anyway, so it doesn't mean much to me.

BL:  a "sealed" pack-in Y's has no more value than a like-new Y's pack-in.  they are both considered loose since they never came with a real case/box

Nah it was just the game, alone. I paid $17 and some change for it.
I feel weird opening it...

The Duo pack-ins came sealed in celophane and not shrinkwrap.

Yeah, I was able to find an image that shows cellophane wrapper - this is what my copy has, as well.
So. You guys think I should open it??

Of course!  You can't play sealed games.

Take a video! You don't have to be in it. Nor your voice. Just the surgical incision and rupturing of the cellophane.

The liberation.

The manumission.

Manumission! That's some word usage. I don't think I've come across that since college.
I thought of taking pictures. Maybe I'll do a video...

There's a semi-old hardcore band with that name :)

That's how I learned it.

And my grandma didn't think I could learn anything from le muzique.

Make it easy for yourself. Take a video :) We (community, or literally me) can add musique.
