So, perusing around ye old Yahoo Japan Auctions (and Ebay) I've seen a lot of reproductions listed... most auctions list them as repros, so that's not totally shameful I guess. However, it's pretty obvious this is not even gray market. PC-Engine Works has you email them to get a list of their stock and order games from them. I guess I could see why. While I'm sure a lot of these games may have had their licenses lapse and the companies go tits up, I'm sure someone somewhere has rights.
What are everyone's thoughts on these? From what I recall, the Sapphire reprints were had nothing blatant that denoted they not original. Not sure about the PC-Engine Works versions.
Thoughts?
