This is an original game, not a PCE Works reproduction.

Some indicators for how to tell a PCE Works game from an original:

1) Aside from Sapphire, we believe all PCE Works games don't have a tear-off strip. The tear-off strip of the fake Sapphire is set higher up than on the original (it's less than 1cm from the bottom on the original. The PCE Works one is much higher up).

2) From what we've seen, the PCE Works games are high resolution scans of the original covers, then professionally printed. But they can't recreate the 'dots' in the printing process. For example, the orange colour (see the Arcade CD logos at the front, side and back) is a brighter shade in the counterfeit version. The original is slightly darker and is extremely lightly 'dotted' with with very tiny white dots. They are barely visible to the naked eye, but they are there. Check with a magnifying glass, or a loupe or a phone which can take up good close-up photos. Looks like the counterfeiters were unable to replicate these dots so the orange comes out as a solid colour. We assume it's the same with the pink Super CD logos on the the sides of the back sleeve, but we haven't checked.

For opened/unsealed games:

3) The discs will have different numbers on the inner ring of the disc. Sapphire is the first counterfeit game they made, and was an attempt to just completely rip off the original but on the fake disc, it says CARE4DATA KEC2CMG924CDREO. The later games which were more branded as PCE Works, usually have PCE Works printed somewhere on the disc.

4) The back covers of the manuals usually have PCE Works printed on them. Again, Sapphire doesn't have this because they were trying to do an outright copy of the original.

5) On the original disc, the inner ring of the disc should have the code number KMCD2003-1-1015-R2F.

There are several more differences with Sapphire, which is different to the other PCE Works games. Contact us and we'll let you know about other differences, but we don't want to make this listing all about Sapphire.
