Cool Herders Dreamcast?

[T2KFreeker]

So, I have had this little gem for some time, and really realized that nobody ever seems to talk about it. Very cool little game from Harmless Lion and The Goat Store. Where's the Love? Does anyone ever play it? I never see it on evilbay or anywhere else it seems. What happened? It's almost like nobody even knows that it exists. I briefly was able to play the Excellent Nintendo DS build of this as well, but I don't know if it will ever officially release for the DS at this point either. Very cool little game though. Any7way, come on man, somebody else out there has to enjoy this game also.

Wow, really? Do any of you even know what the game is? Anyone?

I've heard of it, seen it and played it. It was on display at Midwest Gaming Classic. It was fun but I never bought it as the a Dreamcast wasn't my system to really collect for.

Nice to see someone at least played it. The reaction I seem to get when asking about this game makes me wonder if anyone who bought it actually played it instead of just keeping it sealed on a shelf because they need their complete Dreamcast collection. Just sad, really.

Well it's a bit difficult to get a burn to CD with the audio and all. That probably scares people away. I've played it on emulator, and frankly it's visually very bright and appealing. The gameplay is like a chaotic mess, with very little point unless you are doing multiplayer which I never would.

Why would you burn it to a CD? The game was professionally pressed and published. Mind you, it's an Indie title, but was never available as a CD-R. Just saying.

I own an original Cool Herders disc, and have played it a few times, both solo and multiplayer. It's OK, but I didn't really care for the game's graphic style or music, and the gameplay didn't really grab me either -- like Greg2600 said, it felt chaotic and messy.
