Was Propeller Arena ever actually produced in US?

[tom]

I have both Half Life and PA Gold downloaded in working order, if anyone wants a copy, pm me, maybe we can work out just CD-R and postage to USA (from Germany), dunno maybe $3.00 via PP? (gotta check with PO how much it is to send a 2 CDs to USA via Airmail.

All of these games should be on underground gamer (it's a torrent site).

Just burn them with your normal software at a slow burn speed and they should probably work fine in your dreamcast.

There's also the beta bleemcast stuff out there, and nowadays people are even making ready-to-burn bleemcast discs for certain games (like...PEPSIMAN!). Personally I'd say Prop Arena is the best of the unreleased DC games to hit the internet. Half Life's loadtimes are crazy and the other two just aren't that great of games.

Best program to use to burn DC discs is alcohol 120%.

Hi i just bought a jap propeller arena for 12 pounds of ebay. It looks like a real Dc game from the picture with the manual spinecard etc. I no its probably not real but i dont care cause it looks great being complete and all and £12 pounds is nothing for me really. So i was just wondering do you guys think this is a reasonable price and most ov all do you think it could be real?.

No. It's not.

You just got ripped off. Basically you paid for abandonware. PA is freely avalible over the web. Same with the DC version of Half-Life 1. PA was never actually released in any region. It was nixed about a week before it's release, thanks to 9/11/01. A few people managed to get thier hands on the gold version (the finished version ready to be pressed onto a GD-Rom) from Sega. If you did manage to find a production copy of PA, it'd be worth a helluva lot more than 12 pounds, I can guarantee you that...

I'd give whoever sold it to you a negative review.

EDIT - but on the good side, you have a great DC game. And you don't have to go through the trouble of downloading it, burning it, etc. And you have a decent case to store it in. But if you feel the game is worth the 12pounds you paid for it, you shouldn't feel too bad. There are alot of games I've bought for too much, to only find out later it was totally worth the money.

Alot of the people in these forums have all done it, at least once.

And I doubt it will have a manual, just the cover that Yakumo made.

Do you have the link? I had a problem with ebay-ers stealing my pictures and media from both Propeller Arena and Half-life DC from my website (http://ptoponline.com hah, the media and videos are still there), so Id just like to confirm they arent doing that shit again.

Hello here is the picture of the item. I no i have been ripped off if you can do this stuff for free but really i am a noob and all i do is buy games for my collection so i dont really no much about burning games and stuff so i just bought it and £12 pounds is like pocket money for me. - thanks for the info guys.

[MrRoboto19XX]

Say what you will, that is a beautifully done bootleg.

[tholly]

for a boot, that is very nicely done...i dont know what 12 pounds converts to, but im sure its not that much, so, its probably worth having something like that, rather than some CD-R copy with sharpie marker label like mine is.....

[Pilotwings]

I only showed you the actual ebay picture as i didnt want to show any 1 his ebay name or mine really. But he says in the description that it is a manual with the back cover, disk art, spine card. He has 100% feedback on about 480 items and it seems like hes just a normal seller who sells games ov all sorts and other things so he probably just bought it himself at some stage. When i get it i will tell you guys how good it really is and if it really is a manual.

[Pilotwings]

Yeah just got by bootleg propeller arena and wow who ever done this done a hell of a job. It has a full manual packed with information just like a normal manual and even has a little notes section at the back. The disk and spine card look awesome also. You can tell its a fake as it looks slightly to new and glossy on the cover art and spine card compared to my other Dc games but if you showed it to someone who doesnt no much about games they wouldn't no.

Well nobody here will explain to you how torrents work and how to burn a ISO image on a CD.

[kupomogli]

Yeah, that is a film. I really need help with this man. Seriously, there is nothing I want more right this minute than a copy of Propeller Arena on a CD-R.

Send me a million dollars and Santa will bring it to you for Christmas.
