Why bother buying these sorts of bootlegs?
Might as well just pirate it at this point.

While I don't mind selling repros in theory (plenty of shops offer GEN/SFC/FC repros), and while I do not deny that PCEWorks' products are of high quality, I also agree that a few of the items for sale are a bit on the questionable side.

There was some type of furor in smaller game communities about how he used fan-translations for several games without the permission of the translators, and that he wouldn't split the profits with the translators either. There seems to be a lot of bad blood there, though later the guy tried to make nice by printing a lot of free copies of just the bare CDs for anyone who wanted a copy, essentially just charging for the fluff packaging.

I'm also amazed that the Dracula X package didn't receive a CnD, considering it's a high-profile game from a huge, still-active company. I guess all the better for people who wanted, uh, the "Dracula X Energy Drink."

What's the point of this shit when it's easy to pirate it yourself?

to make mad dosh off of collectors, of course. Print a label onto a can of red bull and call it exclusive and soon you're rolling in someone else's expendable income. Just look up what was part of the PCEworks Drac X package. It was nuts.

Why would collectors buy this? Wouldn't a Castlevania fan or PC Engine fan be insulted that the guy is selling a bootleg product and trying to make it look official and selling it for just as mich, if not more, than a real copy of Dracula X? Why would anybody attach any worth to an illegitimate product?
