Maybe it's from another region?

Around 50$ in my countries currency for fz 10 3do with 26 games.

At assembler games forum they told me that this game maybe fake from Malaysia. Even if it is it's very good quality knock off, because disc itself look quite good looking compare to ps1 or ps2 knock off I see time to time.

I havent seen the red disc before, I have a copy that has a black label with purple (pinkish) lettering on the disc.

I have one and its the black disc. I am pretty confident that its real because it has the outer box with it and it's beat to hell. A friend of mine gave it to me about 10 years ago when he sold his 3DO collection. He knew the game was rare so he held on to that game and sold everything else. After I bought a 3DO he ended up giving it to me to "hold onto" for a while when he was deployed overseas for the military. When he got back, I reminded him that I was still holding it for him and he told me to just keep it :)

I'd say that your copy is legit, especially if you've got an outer box with it still. If you haven't played it you ought to- it's one of the best games on the 3DO.

What makes you think it is legit?

The Sapphire fakes looked really good, but even they messed up the inner ring label. The 3DO game in the fourth post has the correct inner ring, but the color of the printing on the disc is completely different from any known version of the game.

It seems very unlikely that someone making a reproduction would get the hard part right and the easy part wrong, and - in my admittedly uneducated opinion - it is more likely that this is simply a heretofor unknown variant of a very rare game for an obscure system.

I did think of that. Can someone who has a "regular" copy of the game check for the game's name imprinted on the inner ring?

i would recommend posting here : http://3do.cdinteractive.co.uk/index.php
