Anyone want to place bets on how long before WATA graded versions start showing up?

Neat. I like their repros. Luckily they have learned to mark their stuff now.

Good to hear if that's true and the mark is giant and obvious. The photo doesn't make it look like that's the case.

I like the stamped CD repros for the reason that burned discs don't read well in the older CD-ROM drives and original discs are too expensive to casually enjoy. I'm afraid to get out and actually play some of my games, it's that ridiculous.

I also like their original work with projects like Dinoforce.

I do not like that they clone original releases down to the packaging, cd label, and manual. They need to come up with their own style that makes it obvious it's a bootleg. Not something where the community has to put up a bunch of "how to tell the difference" posts to prevent people getting screwed.

Oh yes, they have decently sized logos with PCEWorks stamped.

Man, the PCE Works repros are expensive! I got a very nice magical chase repro a couple years ago for $30...

Definitely getting this. Is it up for order yet? I’m not seeing it on his site.
