Radiant Silvergun

[Karny]

Hi everyone.

I'm new around here... but some of you might remember me from "the before time"

I asked this question over at the SX boards (old habits die hard), but it was suggested I try over here instead... so here goes:

I've finally bit the bullet and bought myself a copy of Radiant Silvergun (I know... just before the prices fall!).

I received it today and my absolute joy turned to horror as soon as I started reading the manual. it's matte, rather than glossy!

Does anyone have an original copy of RS - just need someone to confirm that their manual is glossy like all other Jap Saturn games before I go back to the seller.

I don't know if anyone has the goods but you might try going to ebay and looking for the more amateurish photos - the pattern of light diffusion should give you an idea.

My manual is matte, and now you've got me worrying! it the game runs fine on my Jap Saturn which isn't mod-chipped, it's my understanding that bootlegs dont.

I haven't even tested the game... but the paper quality just seems... different to me!

I'm not suggesting the disc is a boot... but rather that the manual has been reprinted to replace a missing one.

What first caught my eye (and excuse me as this is from memory) but some of the last pages have nearly black text on a black background... which seemed wrong to me.

Anyone else ever had a matte manual with any other title?

My copy isn't nearby but I am somewhat certain that it's matte... dsheinem bought one recently...

I just checked my copy of RS and my manual is matte-ish too. I really think that's just how they are (in contrast to most Jpn manuals). My copy (though used) came with a spine card too, so I think it was all together with original stuff.

I wouldn't worry about it. Unless the actual printing looks cheap (ink smearing/fuzzy text), it's probably original.

Phew! Ok. YAY!

Is there much activity over at the Segaxtreme boards these days?

I think mine is matte too, and my copy is perfectly legit with spine card and everything. I'll double check later though

Mine is matte, too, and I bought it at a reputable shop in Japan. They won't sell knockoffs.
