Ok well I thought it better to make a new thread about it going gold, so more people would see what this is all about in the title.

If the mods don't like this, feel free to remove it. :wink:

So much for the arguement of releasing a game on the Dreamcast not making good business sense. :)

In the music industry its means 500K albums sold. I guess it means something else in the gaming industry. :)
