P.S.: A fun fact about the official localized releases is that the localizers often received more than just the set of files intended for the final game and included everything unknowingly, which is documented [[European Mac releases|HERE]]. | P.S.: A fun fact about the official localized releases is that the localizers often received more than just the set of files intended for the final game and included everything unknowingly, which is documented [[European Mac releases|HERE]]. | ||

Oni may not be a famous title, but there is always money to be made on bootleg releases, and today these can be offered secondhand for significant amounts of money. The asking price for the fake copy on the right: $299.00. This Chinese-language box is a physical copy of the game that you can really buy, and it may contain a disc with the data from the legitimate Century Thor release, but the box is entirely manufactured by a third party. It ''seems'' legitimate, doesn't it? There's no shortage of logos on it, and what looks like some sort of authentication watermark, so it ''must'' be legitimate… wait, is that [[:Image:Ian McConville - Cracked (color 1280x1024).jpg|a piece of fan art]] on the back? One thing is for sure: it's not a collector's item any more than a copy of the Mona Lisa that someone has run off their inkjet printer. | |||
