Hey guys, Know it's abit off topic, but I have stumbled on a PAL Darxide for 32x Sega Mega Drive. I know these things are super rare and have heard that only 1000 were made. I also have seen that a few repros have been circulating last few years and would like to know how to tell the difference between a real or fake one. Am checking it out Saturday personally and may buy it. Cheers |

There is a comprehensive article on Segabits.com about Darxide. A must read if you obtain the game. Here’s what it said about repros of this PAL-only game. Another, more affordable method is to buy a reproduction cart, which are occasionally available on eBay for as little as $40. This is not a method I personally approve of, given the effect reproductions can have on the collector’s market. The repros I’ve seen for Darxide are pretty obviously advertised as such, though, and try to mimic the American packaging, so I thought I’d at least mention it here. |

Cheers checked it out. Got some info on pricing, which is great. I've read that PAL repros had come out, so want to be 100% sure before committing this much money. If anyone has one can they inbox me and I can send pics of the item. |

Just a note...it's not a good game. Of the 40 games on the system it's been ranked last at times. Yes, worse than FMV gems. |
