How many of them were there for the dreamcast?
I've seen 2 separate pieces of case art and I tried to dig up information. That grew tiring so I turn to you! How many are there and are they worth buying? Of course by buying I mean purchasing them both plus a twin stick maybe even 2!

Re: Virtual On questions?
I've saw 2 cases both english. one up close of the robots head and shoulder and the other zoomed out of the whole robot! Im assuming there both american versions cause there both published by activision and have our esrb rating system in the corners and the design of the packaging is a dead give away obviously all white with a orange triangleoptmusprimenumber wrote:just one from what i've found...and i've looked HARD for every dreamcast iso. cyber troopers virtual-on oratorio tangram it's called. i've seen a couple different covers for it, i think ones US and one's Jap.

Re: Virtual On questions?
The full body shot of Temjin is on the cover on mine. I assume this is the other image you're seeing?

If you look in the bottom right that one says T-XXXXX instead of the actual game code. I bet that's a pre-release cover design.

Heh, and the comparatively giant "Ratings Pending" above the tiny catalog code too.

Re: Virtual On questions?
Tangram Virtua On is one of the best versions of Virtua Ons and unfortunately the crappiest controller settings. Why couldn't Activision use the direction pad for left stick and the buttons for right stick? Only controller feasible to this game is the Saturn or Dreamcast Twin Stick. I already modded my Blaze Twin Shock to work as a Dual for PS2 Arcade Virtua On and Marz as well as older classics Robotron and Black Widow. I have two PSX Flight Sticks, very tempted to gut one with a DC controller board wired to Activision stupid configuration.
I need these!

Re: Virtual On questions?
The official really cool game with unplayable controls. I was lucky to score this game complete with book and all the inside art for 5 bucks at Gamestop a year ago. Don't get me wrong its still very playable very good game just not in the Twinstick sense.
