I hope they don't have any problems pressing the Dreamcast disc.

[Arm]

I hope too. I don't know if it's difficult or possible to press genuine gdroms.

[storino03]

Since the Dreamcast can play CD-Rs (backups) without problems, they may go the cheap route and just burn it to a customized CDR instead of having to get a genuine gd-rom pressing done.

In any case, I'll be getting the Dreamcast collector's edition and keeping it sealed. I hope they modify their pledge levels to include a digital download copy either PC/Xbox, with a certain threshold for this exact reason.

Did anyone see the price of the Classic Edition for the MegaDrive/Genesis? $500! If that's not taking advantage of the inflated ebay prices, I don't know what is!

The best way to play it will always be on the Genesis.

I just loled.

They are milking that game for all its worth and its kind of just hilarious at this point.

Is it going to say GREATEST HITS on the side of the cover art, or something?

Is this in lieu of their "invest in our games and help create them!" idea falling flat on its face?


im still laughing, btw.


That's crazy that they're going to whore it out to 5 more platforms.  They must have some expensive drugs at the Watermelon Factory.

[Necromancer]

Please get back to me when they port it to the Turbob.  I might care then. 

[Arkhan]

Yeah right they couldn't even press a Mega CD that worked.  You think they can press a Turbobcd?

pfsssssssshttttttttttt

[TheClash603]

I played the game and it wasn't good enough to get this kind of hyped re-release.

What were the quantities of the original Genny edition?  If they are doing this to attract collectors, 700 seems to be too high of a number to warrant the cost.

[SuperDeadite]

I like how they want well over $100,000 to just upgrade a game that already exists.  My favorite part though is the highest donator prize, which gets you an invite to their Paris party, BUT the donator must still pay for himself.  In other words, buy us a party in Paris, and we'll be kind enough to invite you.  LOL  these people are scum.

yea that seems to be a problem these days...

[storino03]

Actually the Posterity/Classic editions for the Megadrive/Genesis were limited to around 800 units. Not sure if it was more or less total, or for each region, but yeah. around 800. It's ridiculous asking $500 though. The higher pledge levels are a joke.

[TR0N]

All ready have it for the genesis.I don't see much of a reason to donate so they can do this.Beside,i thought they were suppose to be working on other games now.

[Mathius]

I went ahead and backed it to get the Dreamcast version in hopes that they fix some of the balancing and sound issues.

What was the first release called?

The "preorderers only because we suck at distribution" Edition, or something, right?


Nothing says awesome like having your first real public release be a reprint.  Solid move there.
