Brain Age ripped off for PC?!?

This one's the fake


Heads up, people. Thomper over at NeoGaf has just spotted a Brain Age spin-off for the PC. Now, we're pretty sure that Nintendo didn't put this version up, so most definitely, this is a fake. Although, the packaging does look like the original one, it has a Dutch description below that says, "Train your brain while having fun! Answer as many questions as you can in a short period of time." And where did he spot this? Over at the Bart Smit folder. Bart Smit is the biggest Dutch toy/gamestore chain, he says.

Well, it doesn't really come as a surprise that some whacked-up company would dare imitate blatantly Nintendo's game. After all, it really is popular, and, well, just maybe, they want to "help out" in spreading the game via PC. But still, that's outright piracy right there. It's sad, really. Then again, we guess that's the price you have to pay for fame.

Check out the images below for comparison. Those are the original Nintendo Brain Age titles. That one up there, that's the fake.
