WHAT THE HELL IS PURIKURA?
About a month ago I met whit a guy on the FLICKR network called “Vicky vs”… he told me about these games called “PURIKURA”, I was impressed about the game concept and of course I started my personal investigation to find these two versions (boxed) and also in mint conditions. Thank you very much Vicky to reffer these games to me. Here’s the original Vicky vs message:

Vicky vs said: Purikura are photocabinets in Japan wich hold a kind of photoshop-integrated software to add patches, brushes and whatnot to pictures. Theyre pretty popular. Theres a series of videogames of a girl hunting purikura pictures. The first one features a white cartridge and its pretty rare.

From Wikipedia: In Japanese popular culture, Purikura (プリクラ, Purikura) refers to a photo sticker booth or the product of such a photo booth. The name is a shortened form of the a registered trademark purinto kurabu (プリント倶楽部, Purinto Kurabu^?). The term derives from the English print club. Jointly developed by Atlus and Sega, the first purikura were sold in July 1995.
