Stumble upon the "rare and valuable Saturn games" editorial here, and was shocked, absolutely shocked that Daytona CCE Netlink was so expensive... but I should have known. Luckily, I take anally good car of my stuff, save everything in the package, and have friends that recommended I buy another copy of Saga.I'm the original owner, bought fresh from the store. Used to be super involved with the "B" Video Game websites circa the "TK's Sega Saturn Page" days... did some game reviews and whatnot... oh the memories. These games were bought and played though (and played thoroughly), not bought to be looked at, well, except for the sealed Saga.
I saw a video on YouTube showing a person opening a sealed copy of Saga, and he, and others claimed it was a reseal. But judging from my copy and his descriptions, it was indeed a real deal sealed copy- he doesn't know it. This game was bought from Toy's N Joys in Hawaii, and they are notorious for not taking back opened games, and are a moms-n-pops type store. The later games released for the Saturn were sealed differently than the earlier games, and does not hat the seal overlap in the rear of the box.
Anal enough to save receipts! The opened one was bought from a store I hated going to, but they were one of the rare places that even had the game- sourced everywhere on Oahu, I was just glad to have played gotten my mits on it at the time.
Funny about all the misinformation early-on on the internet about this game, reading some old posts. Bought two of em so I could play my brother in Arizona from here in Hawaii. Never got around to do it- glad I didn't give it to him cause it would be thrashed. Yeah, I GOT TWO!!!
Funny how being a hardcore Sega fan can automatically net you some really collectible games.
