Pier Solar may be released soon?!?

I might make some comparison recordings of a few other tunes.  The chip tunes are all over the map.  Some are fantastic while others are a bit mediocre.  None are terrible, though.  Right now I just got to the giant town of Verhahshana (or something like that) and I can't decide if I like the chip or PCM music better.

Joe, please do so! And, I know it might be more tedious, but have the tracks play for at least ~ a minute? Even if a song loops, I always need at least a minute.

Mine just came in:

ooooh purty   I'll be curious to see what the 2nd run looks like (especially since that's the one that I ordered)

[Arkhan]

Im kinda glad I will be getting a clamshell.

That box dont look like itll last long.

They definitely went all Working Designs with it though.


(including the long ass delays.... ^_^)

Indeed, the overall presentation of Pier Solar has been meticulous.

Of course, Aaron's carefully composed pictures make everything look that much nicer.

Has anyone made printable cover sleeves with the old style Genesis cases? You know, the ones that are black with the grid lines over them, similar to Master System's!

I look forward to that the lest with the 2nd print. I could care less about the lack of CD. I wanted the Damn JPN artwork, not this "ugly" multi region art crap.

It will be simpler, with no need to edit your recordings.

Actually you will need to edit them more because they end abruptly since they are made to loop.  You'll have to loop them yourself as well as add a fade at the end.

Good point.

It's a sturdy box -- much hardier than the other cardboard Genesis releases.  As far as "not lasting long", even a clamshell could be broken in the hands of a gorilla.

It's the prettiest Genesis or Sega CD package ever made, but can't be replicated in clamshell packaging.  I think that's why they went with cardboard for the first release.

Is it sturdy like the old days of PC game cardboard boxes, like Ultima and stuff, where its pretty damn nice? 

Or the D&D basic set ?  Ones where you could stack it with some books and not worry that itll die?

When I opened mine up, I had no idea they were going to go all out on the packaging and was absolutely amazed by the quality.  I felt like not even playing the game yet that I had got my money's worth, so I'm glad i was able to snatch up this version.

[Mathius]

Ark, you'd be surprised by the quality of the cardboard edition. It's shockingly beautiful, as well as shockingly strong.

I got the Posterity Edition which comes with a FREE issue of Size Magazine!!!  Everyone loves Size magazine and in this issue they gave us some strategies on a new game called Pier Solar!  I think it was a great coincidence that the super-popular Size magazine just happened to have a strategy section of the very game it came with.  It has a picture of a REALLY COOL Japanese dude on the cover so you know this is serious business.

[TheClash603]

I'm not going to lie, that edition is pretty damn cool looking.  However, I also know I would've sold it for $350-400, and then bought the second edition instead.  It doesn't look $400 cool.

[Joe Redifer]

Yeah, it looks $50 cool which is what I paid for it.  Most people paid $35.

I've never heard of Size Magazine... is that one of those "male enhancement" catalogs?
