    That's pretty funky.

    Buyatari, may I ask if that's a pressed disc or a typicly burned build ?

    And if it's a pressed disc or a "proper" build, does it carry a real SLPM or SLUS code?
    (should be printed on the disc or possibly as the disc label or as the main exe file on the disc)

    At this point I would not be surprised if you found a stuffed dodo, excalibur and a sega neptune in your closets of boxes. ;-)

    What a find. I guess you're always getting pestered about the differences... I can't help it though, is there much between it and retail?

    Ah man, I would love to get my hands on this. No telling what we would be able to find.

    By selecting "Normal" you play what appears to be the game as we know it. You start in the final chapter of Bloodlines but while the text in the cut scenes in English the voices are Japanese. While I didn't try it, it looks like you have the option to save and restart just as on the retail.

    By selecting "special" you start further along with items in your inventory,and relics already added.

    Does anyone have E3 footage from 1997. I think it would be great to see.

    I have a Konami "96~97" Collection disc with footage from various Konami games from that period, but I doubt the Nocturne in the Moonlight footage there is anything special.

    If the video has a name, I might have it. If not, and you want to have it transferred, I have the equipment for doing good transfers (if you don't have a capturing setup yourself).
    Also, I guess I could recommend (by word of mouth) using this guy, when it comes to high quality digital transfers of analog formats.
