I bought this new at the time and only played it once, just to insert and remove the cassette. From the time of purchase, there were some light scratches on the front and back of the box. The contents are like new, and there are no scratches or fading on the software. The sticker seals are also very clean. The instruction manual has never been opened. To prevent the product from being crushed, I will waterproof it and ship it in a separate cardboard box.
