    Fair point, point me in the direction of a legitimate copy and I will buy it (assuming it doesnt cost more than my car).

    Well surely having a fancy printed copy is better then not having it at all?


    Also the games up for download at alt.binaries.dreamcast newsgroup....

    I thought that you guys would be happy to know that we here at ASSEMbler, dcForum did actually get a mention in the official NFO by Belokk.

  4. It's nice that we got a mention in the NFO.. that's fairly nice.

    Why you're absolutely right... I'll just go to the used game store and get me a copy of the game. Wait a minute. There was a reason I couldn't do that, why was it....?

    Oh yeah, because IT WASN'T RELEASED AND THE GODDAMN GDR COSTS MORE THAN A TERM'S TUITION!! Seriously man, what right do you have to tell me how serious I am or am not about collecting by whether I can afford a beta game, I'd like to know. So I guess I'm not a very hardcore collector then, right?

    Truth is, I'd really much rather play the game on a professionally printed CD-R or even *gasp* a CD-R I made than shell out 6-months rent for a GD-R to sit in a shiny case on my bookshelf. That probably sounds really ridiculous, huh? I mean, who would want to PLAY an unreleased game instead of shell out a buttload of money to have something cool to look at, right?

    I guess behind all the biting sarcasm is the point that I really didn't appreciate that comment, and to an extent I suppose it almost seemed that you were defending the people who leaked the game - "Well don't worry about it leaking - if you were a REAL collector..."

    Hey Yakumo:

    Thanks for the nice spine card :smt023 I have a comment and a question for you:

    On the English one, you put "Buru Buru Pack". I just dug out the original packaging for it, and it's spelled "Puru Puru Pack". Just a head up for those that want the English version of the spine card.

    And my question is, where can I find the paper to print the spine cards on? In your image, they look very glossy (almost has that plastic feel to it, just like the real spine card), they are the correct size, and even have the perforated lines where they are supposed to be folded.

    Thanks :smt040

    I'm not interested on collecting the game. I'm interested on playing it. We all know the game was almost finished and we had the opportunity to get it. It's not the legal option to get a working copy, but it's the only one for a lot of people. If anyone gets another unreleased game, do you think that people will help with money next time to pay the "glory" of some warezers? If they want to be on the warez scene they will have to pay their whims.

    Oops, my mistake on that Buru Buru pack :Hangman: As for the printing, I used Super Fine Print paper for the spines and photo paper for the front and back covers. The super Fine Print paper is thicker than normal inkjet paper and gives a nice sharp image. It's no good for covers though because it's to thin but ideal for spine cards.

    I'll report the tw*ts! As far as I'm concerned the only person allowed to sell PA on EBay is Service Games and that's only to recoup his loses.

    But where is the link? Can't read German.

    The game could be a steaming pile of horse dung but that doesn't change the point that these people are wankers at best. By the way, I quite like the game. Multi player is a great laugh. Brings back days of when I'd play Aero Dancing I online.

    Yeah I agree , opportunists listing the game are Ebay are total gits.

    Still after playing it is it worth the cash that the seller got the GD-R for ?

    Judging from above's link (eBay Germany only!) the "game" is on sale by two (more?) individuals recently registered with eBay. One of them wrote a message that IF sale was prohibited he'd remove his auctions, bla, bla, bla...

    What I wonder is where the auction's cover comes from.

    It is different from the prior scans in this thread... :smt017

    I'm pretty sure I saw that cover back on the old board when the whole thing began.

    Good thing German is my native language, guys...!
    I reported all six auctions to the fraud investigation team... Let's hope they act in time. Man, I hate that asshole seller :snipe:
