We got a thread about this already: http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?t=4236

PS.
Yes, it's a fake. (Absolutely no doubt.)

If you can afford it, it's fake.

The same seller has listed a Space Fantasy Zone PCE

Are these from the same people that did the fake Sapphire?

On the other hand and if the bids stop around 20 or 30 €, it could be nice to own one of those sealed bootlegs, just for the fun.

If you're going to spend 20 US/Euro on a bootleg, why not spend 1 on a CD and burn it yourself?

PCE ISOs are a bit hard to come by. Especially the more obscure ones.

Maybe you have better (i.e., more l33t) connections than most of us?

Yes, Space Fantasy Zone was never officially released, so any version you find of it that has packaging is a fake.
