Anyone else have an original copy of this? I'm trying to determine how rare it actually is. Thanks. -hl718
Unreleased game? EDIT: In the Dec 2000 Vol.9 ODCM demo there is a basic top down tank game in the vain of Atari Combat by the name of Super Boom Tread Troopers that was made by Digital Eclipse. Super Boom Tread Troopers is a 2 to 4 player game with graphic on par with PSX shovel ware. Ok, so it is in the Dec. 2000 Vol.9 ODCM demo disc.
Not unreleased. It was a full game as distributed on the ODCM disc you mentioned. Very similar to how Christmas Nights was distributed. As far as I can tell it was only released on that disc (unlike Sega Swirl which showed up in numerous places). It also seems to be a US only thing (unlike Christmas Nights which showed up around the world). The particular disc with Super Boom Tread Troopers seems to be somewhat hard to find, hence the question. Googling the game turns up a bunch of placeholder sites with the title (but little information) and/or torrent sites. I figured if anyone else out there was going to have a copy on-hand it would be someone on this board. -hl718
I have a a copy of this disc, as well as all the other ODCM discs, except for issues 1&2 but i dont think they came with discs. Anyway I'd rip the disc for you but you can't rip a dreamcast disc normally right? But if anyone tells me how I'll upload it. As for actually playing the game, I don't think i've ever played it but I might go fire up the dreamcast later and try.
Ripping DC disc images isn't that difficult. This one has been dumped and is out there on torrent sites. It's more a question of the original disc. Lots of folks didn't seem to hang onto these. Oh and as far as demo discs, Nov 1999, Vol 1 was the first DC demo disc on ODCM. -hl718
There was a disc before that one, but it is just a CD-ROM with videos, pics and such not DC playable.
