I can't remember what game it was, but some groups ROM dump was used in a classic game compilation at one point. As I recall there was a tag they left in it that someone noticed later.
Heh, well that's just a case of a company trying to cheap out and hoping nobody notices. :lol:

It also reminds me: don't most NES virtual console roms actually have ines headers?

Man I remember still spotting that watermark on retail copies of the game years after that whole fiasco.

Yeah, the actual game case artwork had the IGN watermark on it.
