in the USA, does anyone remember seeing for a limited time, a small plastic cased version of Mortal Kombat III for Playstation One? I recall seeing a copy once, when I had the choice of buying the long boxed version for 15 or the short glass cased one for 30. Since then, I havent seen another copy. Has anyone else? Thanks
It is possible. Quite a few long box games transitioned to jewel cases over time. The link at the bottom has a list of many of them but I don't think it is definitive. Are you sure you're not confusing it with Mortal Kombat Trilogy? I know for sure that game was a jewel case and it would explain the price difference. http://www.game-rave.com/variant/index.html
cool site, but i am really positive i remembered the skull background with the MK3 logo. it was july 1997, at the game store chain called microplay. thx as a matter of fact, the dude that made that site also sells a homeade b/w video mag called gamerave at the same store here in chicago.. small world also, i can tell list in incomplete cause he doesnt have road rash on there, plus twisted metal was a small case in greatest hits only
Twisted Metal was also a normal jewel case too. The pic is on his site. Some of these games had a very short window where they were in normal jewel cases. You didn't see them most of the time because retailers still had a large backstock of the longbox games so they never ordered them during that short window they were in non GH jewel cases. The same thing happened with certain Square games when they merged with Enix. http://www.game-rave.com/variant/fam_twist.jpg
In Europe you can find games in small plastic cased versions. They are all from rent-only versions that could be found in Blockbusters stores. I have a copy of Jumping Flash 2 in that case...
Yep. Sure does. Bought it for my brother way back. Probably the only Sony product I've ever purchased.
I sort of liked the long cases better. They looked more... videogamish, I guess. The only thing I see in Gamefaqs is one release for North America, one for Japan and one for Europe - Europe and NA releases are 1995 releases. The japanese version is 1996. That one might be the jewel cased one...?
