WTB - Frog Feast Sega Dreamcast

Hello again all,

I'm looking for Frog Feast for Dreamcast, I know that it can be quite hard to find and it's apparently gash but anyone willing to sell their copy?

I'm in the UK.

 

Wombat had his copy up for auction on ebay recently, don't know if anyone bought it. But apparently this can be somewhat of a collectors item - with people allegedly paying over $200 for it according to Atreyu187

 

I have number 003 and it ran me $400 and to my surprise it isnt even pressed but on a cdr with low quality dye so I dont think it will stand the test of time just like my Saturn Lost and Found! vol1-3. As far as I know it never sold and still for sale for $350 if I recall but there are two versions one lamer then the other but not by far. All you do is jump on lilly pads. If you havent played it I would try before buying as I see mine as the single largest waste of cash ever spent. The dev is a member here he might have more for sale at a lower cost but I doubt it as only 200 were ever made. I cant believe it got ported to so many systems.

 

This might help; the Demo link still works.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Frog-Feast-Dreamcast-Limited-Edition-011-100-Brand-NEW-/160932421752? found a brand new low serial number one on evilbay

 

^That is wombat's copy.

 

So it's THAT bad ? I've only heard bad things to be fair haha

 

Worst game in history I kid you not. You jump around on lilly pads and the updated version you can eat files but the older one you do nothing but jump on lilly pads. Drop me a PM and I will image mine for you or try the demo to see. Only reason I bought it as I must have ever DC game period but was pissed to find out it was a CDR with el cheapo dye so I don't see it lasting more then 5 more years and i have never played it only made a CDI of it and put away in a baggie.

 

How would I know which is the less terrible version? Would it have a later number?

 

All released versions on Dreamcast are the same, the production number is just a novelly / added value for collectors (in most cases a lower number = more valuable to collectors)

 

Hi Atreyu187, are you sure you've got #3? I obtained my copy directly from oldergames.com and also have #3/100...

On a related note, I'm almost positive that the game was only available as a preorder. I preordered my copy and checked the site regularly for updates. When I'd finally gotten a confirmation that it was shipped, they'd updated their site the same day (or same week, can't remember) saying they'd gone out of business.

 

I never knew it came out until very recently, I bought Citizen X from Older Games back in the day before they went under, and I wasn't impressed with the attention to detail. I was planning on getting Frog Feast for the Jaguar for a little while but some research led me to believe it came out on Dreamcast although the link posted above is the first I've actually ever seen a physical copy of the game, although I wouldn't pay over $100 for it to be fair so I guess it'll always be 'the one that got away'.... How much did it retail for first time around guys?

 

I bought Frog Feast when it came out.

I own EVERY Dreamcast game ever made. Every one.

Even those shitty Japanese date sims that are unplayable to a non Japanese speaker.

And I'll tell you that Frog Feast is the ONLY game I ever regretted the purchase of.

Though, now that I see how much it's worth, it might have been the $20 or so I spent when it came out.

 

We have proven in trurip they made more then they stated as we have dupes in our group and even got one that was a blank disc and the data varies from disc to disc as a lot of them have bad burns.
