Unreleased Saturn games on eBay

Think it's legitimate or just a clever ploy to sell some loose copies of worthless US Saturn games?

... sounds abit off....

 

If its pressed, its a final version (of something.)

 

Hmm, I'd be wary of this one. Why would the guy have not tested these unlabeled games? That's the first thing anyone would do if they had what could potentially be Unreleased Saturn games. Even if the guy can't play these discs on a Saturn he could simply pop them in to a PC and read the text files (Can't remember the name of them) that EVERY Saturn and Dreamcast game have which gives details of the game and maker.

erm hes got a sophia system as well.... hes giving it free if it auction reaches $350.

It seems a nice way to get rid of total junk thats not working for a nice bit of cash.

 

.

also is he in Australia or US?
Listing shows in US but he talks of shipping from Australia?

maybe I can buy and let you guys know if the price doesn't go any higher? :smt033

cheers

 

Isn't Corpse Killer the only game in that stack that was announced but unreleased?

 

No, it came out in Japan under the name of Heney's Adventure. It's complete crap. Very low rez' textures make the game look very poor.

I've got one there listed as Cop Killer... I assumed our Japanese friends goofed up the pronunciation. Anyone know what that is?

 

Corpse Killer came out in the US as Corpse Killer: Graveyard Edition.

 

No idea what Cop Killer is. Maybe it was just a mistake in the translation.

Okay, so the next obvious question:

Were any of these unreleased games unreleased in the traditional, literal, and only sense of the term I can imagine? Seems I've seen all those games on the shelf at some point.

 

If you are talking about the auction... yes all the ones with titles were released in the US. The only two in question are Golf and the US Gold title. The others you never know. :smt017 I'm watching it now and might bid if it stays cheap.

 

Clever ploy

Just don't spend too much on it, I figured it was a bunch of worthless coasters from the beginning...
Like Yakumo said, "Why would the guy have not tested these unlabeled games? That's the first thing anyone would do if they had what could potentially be Unreleased Saturn games."

They're probably just factory rejects. If any of you do purchase them, be sure to compare the TOC (table of contents) with an official disc.

 

Ok, I'm out of the running now since it's over $100. I think someone needs to bid and hold them to their auction title, "Unreleased Sega Saturn Games + free development system". The title makes it seem like you get a free system... even though if you read the full description it's only free if it goes over $350.

 

The seller is a good guy though, I hardly think he would try to rip anyone off.
You might know him from AtariAge forums....he is a game programmer with released commercial games on C64, NES, SNES, Atari 2800, Atari 800 etc etc....

I dunno, the auction title Unreleased Sega Saturn Games + free development system sure sounds suggestive to me...
Especially when all the "Unreleased Sega Saturn Games" turn out to be "just loose usa games"... the "free" development system hook aside, NO assortment of loose us games is worth $100.
