  • looks like a custom cover to me
  • That cover came with an issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly. Im 95% sure.

  • I'm thinking so myself ... can't find it anywhere to give it a solid fake



    I messaged seller as I've been looking to direct me where to see it is legit so we'll see what he says and we'll see what everyone here says in the mean time ... win / win situation (or lose / lose)

    Really ? As a game pack in, or what ?


  • it looks kinda like this cover

  • ^yeah i saw that on coverproject too and figured it would be an easy swap ...
  • It was just the cover.

    April or May 2005



    It came with 3 or 4 other game covers. One was God of War, another was Doom3, and I cant remember the others.

    its a nice package deal for a gamer tho (depending on what you paid). I watched my brother play that for hours



    if your "COOL" with custom stuff , i would display that forsure

    but if its custom and sold as a Promo or somthing nintendo really made then i would talk to the seller

    Boom Headshot !



    No pics, but i think he is talking about the same issue as I am.



    Quoted from post: "The Zelda one is decent, although it is a take on a nice stained glass looking cover that was posted here before. For some reason, there is a ton of black on the cover... I think a more colourful one would have been better"
  • Tyme For The Winn - Nice find if you snagged it on the low side acidjaguar
  • Thank you Tyme ! there is a little pic a couple posts in that shows it as well ...



    well I guess now I have to check it out when it comes in to see if I can tell that there is something that shows it being removed from the issue



    So my next question is ... how rare is this really ? or do I just go buy an old EGM issue and waa-lah ?

    I would say that acidjaguar is the bigger winner. That cover looks hella rare. If ever you decide to make some nice scans of it, you have a printer (James) and a buyer (me) for one of these Triple win !
  • I don't know if I got it on the cheap necessarily but I am probably satisfied with the thread ... came with like new Nintendo guide and cheat codes disc for the game . I think I'll find the issue and see how it's presented in that first

    i remember i fished and made the map (i think) for days and days with that game

    if i was a gamecube / Eternal Darkness (They go hand & hand) owner i would have that game on my want list for sure

    looks like a solid combo for a display

    I dont want to push my luck, but would you consider a copy with REPRODUCTION in big bold letters on the flipside of the cover a 1/1 or "Close Call" ? If so then I would probably consider a green one instead


  • Either way acidjaguar, if you agreed to buying it for the original price, then I would consider the cover a bonus

  • i have a question for acidjaguar

    do you have a big zelda collection ? is this your new Grail ?

    no matter the answers i want to see it in action on display



    i like the art work on that will the dark black

  • I wouldn't say I have a huge zelda collection, but it is a series I am continuously trying to find something unique for. And as far as the Zelda items this would be my new grail. As long as tomorrow when the rest of the world is awake and we start seeing matching pics up over and over again



    It will be on display, but I have just moved recently so I still have a bunch of setting up to do first I'll be sure to put some new collection pics up for ya James man



    I wish I had this : http://www.ebay.com/itm/The-Legend-of-Zelda-Ocarina-of-Time-Black-Plastic-Compass-Nintendo-PROMO-ONLY-/400331777194



    ETA: Out for tonight fellas ... back at it tomorrow

    no fan ? ill make it into a rug



    but posters are my game =)

  • Hey nice ... I couldn't find anything til last night ... Delete this thread if wanted . I got my answer anyways



    You on top of this shyte mog !
  • Yeah, I can confirm this was with an issue of EGM from 2005 (can't remember which)...I was in the Army, stationed in Monterey, and I bought that issue brand new at the PX.
  • Thank you ... I'm locking for now. Confirmed and probably a good reference thread for the future. I'm amazed I looked for an hour here, the intra webs, etc but I'd be damned if I couldn't find anything on this
