Achoo

Yep, my mistake. I've only seen it on Japanese releases. I have a couple sealed Asian games and none of them have it

Oh thanks for sharing man, that's cool! I've seen that sticker about a few times, but it is normally on actual Asian releases. Never seen it on a Japanese release before.

I responded to you in another thread where you mentioned about Asian PS1, but never heard back from you. You mentioned you have some Japanese PS1 games that were released in Asia that had stickers on them indicating they are for Asian regions, so if you could share these that would be great.

Yeah you're probably right. But atm there is no financial gain for doing so, as all copies I have seen for sale end up selling for the same, if not less than the US version without the sticker. Maybe in the future that will change, but right now, if you find one it was almost certainly distrubuted by Konami in Hong Kong/Asia. My guess is Konami just used a sticker for this as it was an earlier release, but as Gradius came later, they had in house box production up themselves at that point, and so could print a proper box. Or something like that. I'd be interested to know what PS1 games you are talking about. I have quite a few Asian PS1 games myself, but don't have any with a sticker on them. Most of them got a specifiic Asian release, that come with both a Japanese, and Chinese/English manual.

There is this. Just a sticker on a US box, but I have seen a few around HK, so I guess they must have been distributed like this.
