Kaze Kiri for PC Engine CD... Repro or not?

Post by rester159 »

There are a bunch of eBay listings for Kaze Kiri on the PCE CD. This game exists in a high quality repro version by (German?) company PCE works. Is there a way to clearly tell repros from originals? Some of these listings are explicit about what they sell being a repro while others are not... but some items look to new to be original!
Any tip?

the print on the PCE works stuff is way sharper.
the Screenshot on the back are much clearer because they are actually just screenshots of the game, where as in the original they are blurry because they are shot off a crt.

Inkjet/digital vs offset printing basically.
Also if you get to see the disc in person, the original has a more purple color whereas the repro is more blue range of things.
You'll have to have an eye for color for that.
