My post was facetious. I meant Air Combat was one of the better games.

Ridge Racer
Air Combat
Tekken
Cyber Sled
Starblade Alpha
Awesome Selling Point that catalog neglected to mention back then:
"These games will also play on your mother :twisted: in' CD player!!"

I can vouch for the first three, but can anybody confirm CyberSled and Starblade?

Cyber Sled was an awesome port of the arcade game. 8)

There should have been many sequels. But everyone wanted to play Ridge Racer instead

I rarely buy stuff off Rakuten.com's auction section but I couldn't resist last night. I ended up buying a sealed copy of Samba De Amigo ver.2000 . I've been wanting my own copy ever since it was released back in 2000.

Anyhow, the plastic wrapper had SAMPLE stuck onto it but after unwrapping it, it seems to be just a regular pressed copy.

The only difference I can notice is its missing a spine card and it has Not for sale Sample printed on the inner ring of the disc. I am fairly sure not many of these "copies" are floating around in the wild and I probably made a Dreamcast collector cry by cracking her out of her factory wrapping. But hey, what's the fun of owning games if you don't play them?

I am so glad I picked up a second spare set of maracas a few months ago. Now if I can play with my wife in the love-love mode/mini games.

It was a pretty cheap pickup too. I paid 500yen after shipping. With this purchase, my Dreamcast collection is nearly complete!

It's a sample reviewer copy, store demo copy, or could have been one given to the team that worked on the game. The 2 promo Japanese audio CDs I have say "Sample" and "Loaned sample" on their inner rings but are otherwise full versions. The Violinist of Hamlin disc I have is actually signed and I got from Yasuhiro Imagawa at a talk he did years ago.

Yeah luckily I saw the ad about 10 minutes after he posted it and got to it before anyone else. I'm picking it up later today. I'm pumped because I was about ready to go trade in 15-20 games to buy one at a store but now I can use that money for PSP games :)
