Game Collecting: Condition

Genki understands the need to get a game in good condition. With regards our website, basically all the games are in good condition unless something is mentioned in the game info. Such games with special comments in the game info probably only amount to a handful that could be described as faded due to too much sunlight. But like I say 98% are in good condition to the point you may wonder if their previous owner actually played them. Generally we find the condition of Japanese second hand games much better than the condition of second hand UK games. Must be something to do with throwing objects around being taboo in Japan... Shame that doesn't apply to our office joypads. We think sourcing the games direct from contacts in Japan, as opposed to auction sites, often means the games have usually had only one previous owner... Or at least appear that way. All games are complete unless marked in the title by 'Unboxed' or 'No Manual' or 'Cart Only.' Again the vast majority of our games (96%) are complete. As collectors ourselves we only try to pick up complete and mint editions...
In terms of games that came with spine cards, a lot of the games we sell do contain both their spine and registration cards. But unfortunately not all of them. This is again mentioned in the 'Information/Additional Information.' As mentioned we are collectors ourselves and understand the need for a perfect copy. As such we have been busily scanning some of the more collectable titles on the site. Recently added scans are listed below...
