Sturmwind Hi-Scores & Discussion Thread

I'm not sure why I got my copy so easily but all these posts are just making me feel bad so I will just avoid talking about the game at all until more of you guys get yours.

cool, see ya in 2014 bro!

Hmm,
i can't speak for the quality of the game itself, as it got delivered to my sister's place in the UK (my paypal-registered address), whilst i live in Ireland.

That said, i seem to have gotten all the emails regarding Sturmwind from Redspot games, e.g. announcing the Apr 24th release. I was mildly annoyed at their next mail announcing the second-class, uninsured shipping, but forked over the extra for insured shipping. Although i normally don't begrudge paying extra for such a service, it seems like such an act of bad faith on their part, particularly when we paid so long ago (June 2012 in my case, so i guess i'm a latecomer), to have the gall to come back with a request to pay more.

That said, they were quick to respond and polite etc. when i communicated the request- so i don't have any complaints about their actual service on that front.

consider yourself lucky you even got an email from them.

Yeah- it's strange that they'd act in such a lame manner, when they know it's something so high profile (in retrogaming anyway), and surely they'd appreciate how important it is to us. Hopefully we can attribute it to incompetence rather than malice, though, but still.

Well, hope you guys who haven't received the game yet will do so soon- in the case of the lower-cost shipping, i'm not aware how long it should take to get from Europe to your locations, second-class?

He posted pics of it in "look what I found" and i've seen his screenshots from his home setup. He definitely has it.

I'm even on the legit scoreboard if you check the link I posted earlier.

If anyone else has it, have you figured out which trophy in normal mode unlocks the sd card stuff yet?

I got the emails with the update of the release date and the upgrade for 1st class mail. The game itself i have not received. I emailed and open a "ticket" a few days ago. I have not received any feedback from them. I know opened a paypal dispute.

I am not a big shmup fan, but ordered this a few weeks ago when Dave was talking about it on the show. Mine arrived today.

Seemed like a good collectors item. But I dont even have a Dreamcast right now Guess I will keep the sports console from our mega lot...
