Folks, when you are possessing the UK release, please will you check the back of the jewelcase if the place (where underneath the back cover with the BAR CODE is located) is CENSORED with a black marker?
I have now TWO copies with that phenomenon. Thanks in forward for looking.

I have the German SLES 01087 and an English SLES 01086 in a FR/NL 2114047 box (so not the UK release).
Neither is cencored.
Can you post a picture please?

OK… that looks strange. My copy is scandinavian and doesn’t have anything scribbled over like that.
Haven’t got a clue.
I can only picture a screaming kid with a marker having the time of his life.

Funny, is that marker on the box or on the paper? Strange… I mean, it just doesn’t make sense. The SpineNumber is part of the bar code, was that striked through also?
It looks like something a bored kid could have done. Well, two bored kids in your case
Bubblewrap-thingies: Bought them through my employer, just browsed the mail-order catalog they use and picked a box of 100pcs, but I think you can get them just about anywhere. The box says “Mail Lite, luftpolstertaschen, manufactured by Sealed Air”. If you want some, I’ll send ‘em your way, along with your All Star blue box that I’m expecting tomorrow

btw, I think that Alex should go through his collection, write down all SLES and spinecodes, and Scandinavian titles, and pass ‘em to AtariBuff

I’m on it. I’m writing down every game that has something to do with scandinavia. (manual/case in those languages/translated titles)
Does every game have “spinecodes”? :S

I’m warning you though. My collection is very small.

If you ever want me to write the game descriptions on the backs of the cases of these scandinavian titles or anything (haven’t got a camera :/). If there’s anything, let me know.

nope, not every game has a spinecode but a SLES or SCES number (SCES=published directly by SONY).

But you cannot rule out Electronics Boutique/ now known as Game that used to do this to the game to stop the sales assistants using the bar code scanner on it and selling it as a full price game.
Sorry Buffster, its not obscure its dirty shops marking up games for no reason.
Also have a look for the letter P on disks, this is another sign of Game’s dirty work.

I contacted one of the sellers from where he got the game. I think that would be too much of a coincidence if all two copies came from a EB because they also are in great condition with the CDs nearly new.

I asked one seller - he had the game from his brother and he promised to come back to me about the whereabouts but he hasn’t so far. maybe one of our UK residents can take a little investigation tour
