Can anyone tell me what this is?

Hey guys,

I was hoping someone could help me.  I found the attached at a boot sale the other day and I have no idea what it is. 

Its Castlevania Symphony of the Night in a jewel case.  On the side it says ntsc/uc (then the name of the game) SLUS-00067 and it has 'players' in the top left hand corner of the cover.  The cd itself is red and yellow again with 'player' on it.  On the actual reverse of the cd it has 'castel vania' (two words, misspelt) printed on it.

I played it on my pc and it is the full game plus the audio CD.

Obviously some kind of fake but it kind of confused me as it in no way tries to look like a psone game.  Can anyone shed some light?

Cheers

I believe you may have answered your own question. This isn't some sort of special release or anything.. just another bootleg or fan-custom you acquired, prunyuuu~~

Wait a Second...

I recognize that "P" Logo anywhere. I have a Megaman bootleg that contains Classic 8, X4, and Japanese PS1 X3.

with no stage BGM in X3, and most of the X4 cutscenes out of order. I think 8 has the same problem as X4.

The title screen for the game has that P logo on it.
Laura and Gabriel arrive in the deepest cave of the castle and... they find IGA.

That bootleg disc looks cooler than the official release, by my reckoning.
How not to be a dark lord: the answer to that is a terribly interesting answer that involves an almost Jedi-like adherence to keeping oneself under control and finding ways to be true to yourself in a way that doesn't encourage the worst parts of you to become dangerously exaggerated and instead feeds your better nature. Also, protip: don't fuck with Alchemy or strike up any deals with ancient Japanese Shinigami gods no matter how tempting the deal or how suavely dressed the Shinigami is.

Haha, I was just thinking that. Very cool fake.
