Ha thanks guys.  Yeh I'm pretty sure it's not fake sealed, since I got it for only a dollar and it was buried in the bottom of a box, and it's not the traditional fake seal with the melted plastic, were talkin OG with the flaps and idk who would put the effort into fake sealin this.  Plus the lady sellin off all these boxes of cds clearly had no idea what she had..  she just said "All cd's one dollar".. most of it was music but there were a couple games mixed in.. from this same lady I came up on Resident Evil 2 for PS1 (2 discs box) for $2, tried to talk her down to $1.50 but she wasn't havin it since there were 2 cds inside, also got Road Rash (PS1), Rippin' Riders (Dreamcast), Street Fighter Alpha 3 (Dreamcast) all for a dollar each and are minty.

I haven't really decided yet if I'm going to open it up.  I really want to, mainly for the Turok picture it shows b/c I used to love that game when I was younger.  The artwork on the cd also shows Forsaken, South Park, and random football player.

I'll see if I can upload a picture of it later whenever my phone decides to start working again..

Heh, I doubt that was fake-sealed. Not worth the effort.  It's not exactly "Stadium Events". LOL  Just saying shrink-wrap doesn't always necessarily add to the value of things if there is interest in it.

Come to think of it, it may very well have come from someone who went to Acclaim for their ever-so-wonderful game tester position.  I actually went down to their offices in Great Neck, Long Island and came home with a bunch of swag - all of which I promptly tossed (no, nothing I regretted trashing). That promo CD could very well have been handed out to prospective testers back in 98. 

I'm not surprised no one wanted to watch it; Acclaim was always barely-adequate but this was around the time they were becoming straight-up terrible.

LOL!   :laugh2: Right on, yeh most likely I'll just end up opening it..  but lets face it, we know it's going to be pretty bad, so maybe some things are just better left unopened.. and I can just always appreciate it for the sake of have something so obscure still sealed from E3 '98..

I'm not even that cheap, and you couldn't possibly fathom how cheap I am.  ;)
