    This one wasn't even on my radar until it popped up on Ebay. The game is actually surprisingly fun, reminds me of Monster Hunter in a weird way. Video is up on my site already :

    Ill consider it. Once the RARE n64 games are paid for. You had the chance to buy it just like every other game you ask me to release.

    That's the next logical title to go after. And Perfect Dark Zero :p

    I have a save game from Perfect Dark Zero in one of my Xbox Debug, that's all!! xD

    B.C. as you know was about 75% of completion before it was canned and with some builds in debug consoles for sure during his loooong development.

    I am looking forward for the release of this Dinosaur Hunting in the future... :)

    Congrats on the purchase! It was on my radar for days but didnt even think to post it here, not sure why. I have a hard time with unreleased games. Im never sure what is legit or not. Did you know of this game before it popped up on ebay?

    Do you think its worth adding to a wiki/start a wiki of what is lost in the xbox scene hopefully to be found? Ive been pondering this idea for awhile. It may get others interested.

    Ive been working on an Xbox site off and on, and finally had a breakthrough for the logo just a few minutes ago :p I hadnt really thought about this one to be honest, not sure why. Ive had the domain for months, and have been playing with ideas for how to lay out the site. Have some time so I think Ill throw it together now, so at the very least we have a meeting point for Kai system link

    Im sure Ill be needing lots of help once I figure out how to get things going. I'd really like it to be a resource for all things original Xbox, including games, of which there are a lot :p

    Not really. Ive been playing with ideas, and finally think I have something that works, but we'll see :p I might show off a preview of it at some point. The biggest issue is generating the content for every single game, and keeping it consistent.

    What approach would be taken towards the games? Would info be copied or will it have to be written again? I'm an approver on mobygames and I think their system works rather well, but a wiki would probably allow content to get on much faster. In terms of documentation what would be, well, documented?

    Anything we possibly can. And Id prefer it to be original content, or at least done with permission. Im using some placeholder stuff from Wikipedia to design basic layouts. This is a long term thing, and probably wont be done for a while, especially if I decide I dont like the direction it is taking heh

    I know. It's really an issue of keeping it usable. I dont want a Wiki system because they are fairly ugly, and quite frankly I dont want just anyone editing, I want the best ;) I need to find a good way of making sure everything can realistically stay uniform without a headache. Ignore the weird haloing (white outlines) on the logo below, just an issue with how it was resized hastily :p

    (Just a mockup really. And yep, still playing around in Wordpress. I think I can get it to do what I want it to do...)

    The only way I can see that happening is only having certain people having the ability to add to the site or have some sort of contribution system.

    Sorry to pee on your parade... but are you sure it's an unreleased version??

    I mean, back in the days when the NTSC-J version popped up for grabs on SoR, it was claimed to be the English, unreleased version.
    But the Japanese version has English FMV already... and only the in-game menu was in katakana IIRC.
    How can you confirm it's an unreleased version, what do you check and look for in this game?
    If needed, a comparison with the NTSC-J version could be done of course... I have it here for instance...

    And eh, congrats if it IS though ;)


    EDIT:
    Just checked the clip and going by the ingame English button command layout, I guess it is (wasn't sure about the intro tbh...)
