Yay, my copy came! How amazing is the presentation?

I don't know, you own it.

No I don't.

Well... I have on OG Genesis one and that is nice. I would love the DC one, but refuse to pay the price for the same game again.

Oh, I also have it on Steam, the packaging is not that nice for that version.

Started playing, and definitely enjoying it.

That was to reprise and I was kind of joking. I've got it on GOG.com which I saved to a DVD-R. I snapped it up on a 75% sale many months ago. I can't remember how far I got but it wasn't too deep as I kind of got worn out confused where to go in some desert area with caves and rock towers as I had no idea where to go. I'd jump right back in with a good visual guide, but the price they're asking is an insult. I tried to find a torrent for a scan of it but had no luck (yeah I know, if it were $20 I'd be all over it.)

I was just goofing around. I got stuck a couple times on the Genesis version when it first came out and it was pretty cool how the people at the Watermelon message board were helping me, and others out. It was kind of like watching a guide being written on a daily basis.
I had no problem paying for the Genesis cart, back then it was so different and unique. The packaging and such was great, it just seems that now the company has hiked the prices up just because they can for all of their products.

I gotta say, the price seems fair for the quality of the DC version in my opinion.

I'm about a month late on the DC version. Should've been paying attention to this thread.

Might just have to wait for another run or say screw it on DC because the resell premium is above my threshold right now.

supposedly they are going to have more DC copies for sale once they ship all pre-sales. They're running behind though. But yeah, it's an impressive release. Packaging is legit. And I mean... this is a Dreamcast game in widescreen with achievements. It's crazy. The effort put in is like the same if you were buying a current gen console game.

I love that they are produced in legitimate Dreamcast casing and look like an official Dreamcast release. And you can choose between either a PAL, North American or Japanese style case and all have their own unique presentation (even down to the instruction manual).

I also love that the game itself supports native widescreen (something I always assumed was not possible with the Dreamcast) and anamorphic widescreen.

Edit: I echoe Noiseredux's comments regarding the price. The Dreamcast version is very fairly priced. Especially when you compare it to other Indie releases on the Dreamcast, which are usually produced in a standard DVD style case.
