Is it possible for a class-action lawsuit? Is it worth it? This really does amount to deception and false advertising.

Is anyone still getting NEO XYX?

I think the thing to do is report it to and go through Kickstarter...

That's certainly more sensible, but I was under the impression that Kickstarter doesn't really do much for backers with this sort of thing. I hope I'm wrong.

Hi,
we had discussed this on Facebook. Redux does not looks as clean as DUX 1.5 since we used compression method to fit the Game into Dreamcast vram.
I'm sorry though that you dont like the result.

The game looks best with VGA box if that helps you.

Has anyone with copy of the game run it through VGA for comparison?

I can try to acquire the game in some 'form' and test it out. I've got a VGA box. :)

Neo XYX is good, no need to worry about that. Unless they botch the DC port with this compression thing as well. That'd be bad, the game is quite fun.

RHE's track record is pretty bad by now, it seems he should just stick to being THE's partner in NG:Dev.Team.

Don't know why I thought I was supposed to be getting the steel case—. Went back through my records, and I guess I only payed $65. I guess in some way that's a blessing. Still probably the worst $65 I've ever spent, though.

Anyway, I got the game, and as Ghegs has said, this game looks fucking horrible. (I'm playing it in VGA mode.) I got the freezing bug on the stage 1 boss, too; locks the game right up.

So I moved on to DUX 1.5, and while that one looks pretty good, I almost 1cced it in my first attempt. I damn near would have without a few stupid deaths. I don't see any depth to the game; so, for all intense and purposes this package of "two" games lasted me, possibly, 30 minutes. Great job guys.

Really, if DUX 1.5 just had the extra difficult mode, the extra stage, and maybe some of the gameplay additions/modifications, it would probably be a really good games. As it is Redux is basically garbage, and DUX 1.5 is fun for maybe ten minutes.

Also, I have absolutely no idea why there are checkpoint stars in either of these games. They don't seem to do anything.

My copy arrived today, but after waiting two and a half years I am afraid to play it.
