“If you want me to stop just say!”

Can we say the opposite? Posts like this are hella interesting and we need more!

Vib Ribbon has been on my list for a looooong time. I wanna check it out but I don’t wanna emulate it, I wanna play it for real… I’ll snag a copy one day!

    When I was a kid, like around 6 years old, we had a game demo disc for PS1 that had a little demo video of this game. I've never seen it irl, but I get a nice little whiplash of nostalgy of everything that disc contained whenever I see it mentioned. Definitely a unique piece of digital history, this game!

    I heard of this game a few years ago but it's really cool, feels like one of those early gaming experiments that no major company will ever try today.

    IIRC it came out at a similar time as Parappa the Rapper, it was sensible that Vib Ribbon did it differently.

    Actually made by the same devs during the same year that um jammer lammy came out.

    I'm interested in how collectors categorize their collections. How does it qualify as a rare miss seal and not a resealed copy?

    Well, I obviously cant attest to its authenticity 100%, but to fake a factory seal tear strip is very difficult. Also, the Y folds on the top and bottom are very neat and flat. Someone must have fed in into the machine that seals games wrong? I honestly don't know how the machines operate.

    Thanks. It's alright if you don't have all the answers. It's just kind of a hobby of mine. It started a few years ago when Beckett started slabbing old phone cards from Japan. It's usually just a fun little trip through another fandom, but sometimes it just seems fraudulent on the surface.

    I think when you get into grading there is a certain level of fraudulent activity going on. There are definitely the odd re seals out there but I've personally not seen or come across a fake seal tab.
