I heard copies were printed and then destroyed after a bug was discovered. If memory serves, the developer did not have enough money to make another printing or something. But don't quote me on this as.

There was a rolling demo that some stores had. Can't quite remember if it was a video demo or actual hardware powered demo but there was one.

Rolling demo like a movie, or was some part playable, do you knwo if you can get it

[Yakumo]

It was either a demo running on the Dreamcast powered by the actual hardawre or it was a Video demo. Which one I don't remember but I doubt it was playable since the DC had no controllers connected to it. I can ask the store that had it but i seriously doubt they'll have any of there Dreamcast demo discs left.

That's mad ! Why would they keep a site up all these years after the game was meant to be released? I bet Sega have forgptten all about it :nod:

[Segafreak_NL]

Someone at the lik sang forums says he has it....

Hmm..

[Yakumo]

probbabaly talking shit or it's the demo disc that I saw years ago playing in a store.

Sega found an error in the net code after they have printed the first run of retail copies, I never found out if they fixed the bug and made another master but the second print run never happened. The initial print run was known to have been destroyed but whether any copies slipped through is unlikely considering how Japanese companies operate.

There is a movie of the game on one of the member only Dreamcast Express discs (the one that covers the 2000 AOU I think).

I've also heard there is a direct play movie of the game on one of the store front demo discs that were produced but I only have the early issues and haven't seen 6+ onwards for sale in a couple of years now.

Shame as It would have been a fun game by the looks of it.

[Segafreak_NL]

Yeah, definitely. It's very interesting that it was created with Death Tank (Saturn) more or less in mind. It's cool that they had the vision to see that that was a great little game.

Also, I can't be the only one with thoughts of

It was a video (tape!), not a demo disc.
But the game was completed + the sample version shipped out to retailers & magazine writers.

You can find a review of this title in Japanese magazines like Weekly Famitsu too.

But all the copies were recalled and destoryed? lets hope somehow a few escaped.

I don't know about that. I was informed that the games hadn't been shipped out. So there would be only the few samples left.

The game didn't obtain a great score in Japanese magazines anyway. And without the network mode it would get boring pretty quickly.

Just my humble opinion. http://www.assemblergames.com/forums/images/smilies/102.gif

Speaking of Japanese Dreamcast samples: I have a friend who owns all but one in new & sealed condition. He is missing MSR. I think it is called Metropolis Street Racer in America and there was no release in Japan.

Has anyone ever seen the sample version of MSR? Games like Propeller Arena and Dee Dee Planet are confirmed. I have saw those too. But I never came accross a MSR sample.

I am sure he would pay a large amount of money for it.
Any ideas?

Yakumo maybe?
Or Segafreak_NL?

[Yakumo]

I don't think there ever was a MSR demo for instore display. I also have seen the Propeller Arena one (not running / box only) but nothing on a Japanese MSR. That's not to say there wasn't a Japanese version though. 　I remember someone saying that Bizarre Creations confirmed that they did produce a Japanese language version for the Dreamcast.

Yakumo

[Fatalist]

Yes, one member of Bizarre Creations confirmed in its forums that a fully finished japanese version exists.

[oceanfr]

dee dee planey sample you sure?

[PrOfUnD Darkness]

Did someone really have the Propeller Arena sample?

[oceanfr]

yea but thats a different topic dude

[Kron]

He doesn't mean sample as in gdr.

[Fatalist]

I found this pic of Dee Dee Planet in a Japanese Web site.

Thats co I hope you can find a clip or demo.

[KaL_YoshiKa]

Well that pretty much settles the idea that a playable version exists, if only there was a controller in that shot rather then just a guide.

[Segafreak_NL]

Weeeell, the guide has the game controls on it. So I presume it was playable.

[Yakumo]

Giest Force was shown in the same fashion with a control guide in the same display booth but everyone says that it wasn't playable. I could swear that I saw people playing it though unless theywere just holding the controller for the shot.

Yakumo

[Segafreak_NL]

I would've a bit rubbish to list the controls 'just for the sake of it'. "Ooh you use R to throttle!'' :lol:

[Segafreak_NL]

Good news, I'll supply you with videos in a couple of weeks.

[KaL_YoshiKa]

Hey nice man.
