Question and early PS1 jewel cased games.

[RH | 4,957]

Back when PS1 game made the transition from long box to jewel cased, did they include the white security strip on top? Also, did it have a traditional y-fold shrink wrapping?

Thanks.

Are you talkinga bout the clear sticker which had a white center as fat as the depth of the PS1 jewel case?  Then yes, they did.  Along it in black basic period text had the name of the game, one end was a little holo strip to it as well with the usual little tab to scratch up so you could peel the thing off to get into the game.  And on the outside of that, yeah, shrinkwrap as you said it.

Yes, that's what I'm talking about. I just didn't know if there was a time when those games did not have the security sticker. I don't think the long boxes ever had them, do it would make sense that for possibly a time, some games might not have had them. I'm thinking about the early PS1 titles like MK3, Ridge Racer, Doom, etc. The ones that are worth a ton because they are hard to find jewel cased and not Greatest Hits.

I've got that Doom, just checked it really closely to see if I could find any hints, but no I don't sorry.  I was hoping there was like some old smudge or glue line from the sticker still there on the flat face/rear surfaces but there aren't.
