If I win the shirt, I'm going to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner at Burger King until I can fit in it.

Looks like the Katana Geist GD-R just sold for $735.00
Lets hope to see this game for the masses one day.

Where is Anthony!

The bid above is intended without shipping, so 735 shipped in total

Crap, got stuck in a HUGE meeting. Reading thread now. Dreamcast_Zone, do you have someone that can vouch for you here? Eggfan already did.

PM sent.

That's a crazy amount of money for a piece of plastic. I'm glad that I don't have that level of obsession. I could see doing a group buy and chipping in $10 to get it dumped but there's no way I would shell out more than $50 for it.

Add that to the fact that they can't actually get the disc to boot.

If they manage too though...

Haha. This made me laugh out loud.

CRTGamer, or someone else, can you explain what the hype about Geist is? I read through the sale thread and I know it was shown at TGS in 1998 before the dreamcast game out, but I don't see why it is so significant. Anyone care to shed some light?

Well, IMO, if you read through that thread they pretty much concluded it was a lemon, and despite the sellers claims that he would help verify in any way possible, he all of a sudden became too busy when someone offered to come and boot it on a developers system.

The producer was a good friend of mine. I played it.. and it sucked. You could "beat it" in like 3 minutes. I still have an old burn of it on a Katana disc somewhere in my house that I've been looking for and will sell. Even though it's labeled as a Geist TGS disc, the burn of it failed so I don't think there is a game on there but it's a cool piece of Sega history.

In the Q&A thread he said this: this implies that he knows for sure that the burn failed.

Nothing spectacular about this Starfox knockoff with a dare I say hint of rail shooter Panzer Dragoon? My excitement is more of just getting an new/old unreleased DC game that (ducking for cover) isn't yet another Shump. DonnyK mentions that the burn is a fail, but just maybe something can be extracted. There are a couple files that can be read so a chance the game is there. Keeping fingers crossed for a release!
