Pulling from Wiki, Karous was the last licensed game and the last game pressed to GD-ROM in March of '07. Down at the bottom, there's a block of unlicensed games that start with Bleemcast! (reminds me of getting Final Fantasy VIII after hearing about Bleemcast!, even though I had sold my PS1 to pre-order my DC, assuming there would be more released for other big titles on a rolling basis--). It looks like the last one that overlaps with licensed games is the first release of Last Hope. I don't think I've ever really heard of the other unlicensed games in between those other than Feet of Fury and Beats of Rage. (Cool Herder sounds a little familiar, too.)

Wow... GD ROMs being pressed in '07 is pretty amazing.

Thanks, will dig through the Wiki. Agreed. Looks like you have Last Hope in '07, Dux in '09, then scenes really starts picking up in that 2010 range.

That's hilarious on Bleem! Sidebar - just saw (last night) a company bought the name? The Bleem logo was on the intro of the new Glover release trailer unexpected
