RH | 4,903 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) I can't find another example of this. This game isn't sealed, so I assume the red, Rated M sticker was applied at the factory. I can't find another example of this game with this sticker. Is this a variant or was it slapped on at a game store that wanted to make it obvious that this was an "adult" game?

RH | 4,903 Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 Noooo... but I might pick it up. After paying attention a little more, the sticker doesn't make sense. It's the old style, blurred Rated M. I still wonder how or why it's there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 4,932 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 What was the games official rating? Maybe there was a doubt at some point and the sticker covers up a mis-rating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3quit4s | 4,096 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) Other games without the sticker have it as mature. Is it attached to the box itself or is your copy new and it’s attached to the plastic? edit: rental store sticker? https://www.reddit.com/r/originalxbox/comments/8hamhj/just_picked_up_a_copy_of_serious_sam_2_but_it_has/ Edited February 16, 2021 by a3quit4s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDIRunner | 2,733 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I was thinking rental store sticker as well. Maybe they wanted the M rating to be more obvious. But that's a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackVega | 583 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) This reminded me of Night Trap for Sega CD that initially didn't have any age rating and after that ESRB sticker was stuck to the box, it was PG-13 or M, I don't remember. At this moment I can't find any picture on the web but I swear I have a boxed copy with that extra sticker at my old house...

RH | 4,903 Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 Someone on here found this eBay item and scooped it out from under me! Oh well, no big loss. Regardless, when it arrives, please post an update if there happens to be a T rating or something under it. I was thinking about this last night, and maybe this was a display box shipped to a game store. The rating might have changed before release and they put a sticker on it to reflect that. The eBay sale only had the disc and no manual and the disc was Rated M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I’ve seen this one in particular but also lots of other games with them, usually from rental stores since the cellophane has been removed, but could also be a case swap. So hard to tell these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH | 4,903 Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 Thanks guys. I still think it's odd they just slapped a ratings sticker on it. I guess they were just trying to get people's attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
