Front
Cover
|
| |
| The
original has a paler colors overall, particularly the "Sapphire"
logo with it's light lemon-yellow to bubblegum-pink
gradient. The bootleg's logo has a more vibrant orange to
hot-pink grandient and is an easy give-away. |
| In
the original, Sapphire White(the girl)'s outfit is
made up of shades of purple, even her gloves are a purple-grey.
In the counterfeit, her outfit and most of the rest of the cover
are made up from a blue gradient. |
| The
space ship's yellow sections are solid yellow in the original but
are dark and orangy in the fake. |
| The
original's Arcade logo is a dull darker orange color
but the bootleg's is a very bright neon-orange. |
| The
original is sharp and clear with no color bleading. The counterfeit
is blurrier and the layers of color weren't printed evenly
so there is overlapping. |
| The
white stars are more noticible in the background of the original,
but most are missing on the fake. |
| The
counterfeit cover is thicker than a real PC Engine
manual and has a different finish. |
