mrjunglesack 34 Member · Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) Used to work at JJgames warehouse for a few years. Everything weird that came through I would purchase or they just let me have it. This disc was one of those items. Played first 10 minutes and it seems like a final version. Sly 4 - Time bandits. I have some more weird stuff I can’t find information on, but I’ll start with this. Edited December 2, 2020 by mrjunglesack 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gloves 4,025 Administrator · Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I mean, yeah, seems so. Considering "Time bandits" wasn't the final name of the game. Was there a logo with that title at all? Can you share any screens? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tanooki 1,096 Member · Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 What you're seeing there on the disc is kind of obvious of what it is. I've seen those very discs before when I was at Midway nearly 20 years ago now. That is usually used either for a late beta test to see how a potentially finished game would work on real hardware, or it could be a gold master of which real copies of the game would be burned. Alpha to early-mid/later beta would not get this, just assumed hopefully finished to finished games would as it costs more than just running a file dump through a kit.

Idk why the disc has a working title, yet the title on the PS3 comes up with the correct title. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I looked online and couldn’t find any ps3 discs that looked like this. I assume they were good about not letting copy’s getting out to the public. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Where did they usually get their stock, buying out rental stores and such? Does JJ Hendricks have a huge personal collection? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Code Monkey 479 Member · Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Man, I remember sorting games on JJGames' eBay store by lowest price, picking out all the ones I need, with free shipping and every third game free. I'd pick up lots of loose cartridges I needed for $1 each, 30-40 at a time. I wonder if they still offer that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
