Pirate vs. Original - Embossing Back
I've bought an GameBoy Advance game on eBay. It turns out to be a pirated fake. I didn't notice it at first.
Here is a clear sign. The original cartridge has shallow crisp embossing. The surface is rough outside the embossing and smooth inside (left).
The fake one has deep and smooth embossing (right). Note that the embossing is of such low quality that the "i" of "Nintendo" has melted into a "I".
On the other hand: Kudos to the Pirates for using the crazy Nintendo screw.
