The strange story of a collector buying a very rare Neo Geo game at an airport for $30,000 just got a whole lot stranger: there are now accusations that the cartridge is a fake. A forgery. A hoax.

This āevidenceā comes in the form of a close examination of the gameās packaging, revealing a number of inconsistencies in areas like fonts, text spacing and the format of images used.
That, however, is just the start. Members of the forum, which is very tight-knit, have been tracking back and looking at the history of the seller, and in addition of accusing him of faking this game, say that other members of the community have colluded with him to trick buyers into thinking heās offloading legitimate games, when heās doing nothing of the sort.
Weāve contacted the original buyer of the cart for his thoughts on the matter, and will update if we hear back.
