    Rather than explain all this crap again, I'll just link to the "for sale" thread:

    http://www.assemblergames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6648

    Basically, an EXTREMELY anonymous former Sega employee contacted me, based on the Sonic X-Treme article I published at Lost Levels, and asked me to help him sell a Sonic X-Treme disc he managed to take home. It's NOT a full game. In fact, there's not much "game" here at all, it's just the proof of concept shown at Gamer's Day in 1996. But it's real, and it's certainly the only disc I've seen.

    Anyway, like I said, check out that thread for more. I'm not trying to barter it off to you guys, I just wanted to make sure the legit Sonic fans were aware of this.

    I hope Rika Chou has very deep pockets, then.

    I can also confirm that this is real, we've been chatting for a couple days about is also. It's hard not to get giddy about it.

    eh? why?

    Anyone can dump a Saturn game. There is no way I could afford "four digits". I just hope that whoever buys it will dump the thing.

    Unless we want to pool all the money together. I could get up to $500 in.

    Anyone CAN, but there's no guarantee that they WILL, nor that they will do it CORRECTLY (BIN/CUE).

    Holy crap two gorgeous screenshots came out of nowhere in Rika's signature when I refreshed the thread!

    Can anyone set up some kind of paypal donation system? So we can collect money from everyone to contribute to buying this? But I guess that raises the question of who would it go to...

    You know, it always bothered me that those screenshots looked completely different to the rest.
    I remember reading somewhere that (names forgotten, don't kill me!) Head-Guy went off and pretty much coded his own completely seperate game engine. We know that's the one with the fish-eye, so maybe this was the original?
    I don't know about you guys, but I'd much prefer Mr Head-guy's game!!

    Not that I'm complaining, mind. It's just that from the look of it, that's nothing but a really simple looking tech-demo.

    QJimbo, please leave the Assembler thread alone. I understand you want a backup copy of the game, but this is a sales thead, and there's enough pressure on me handling this already without having to deal with that crap too. I wasn't even supposed to post this here, he wanted it kept low-key. I just wanted the community to know about this too, and not just collectors. Please don't make me regret that decision.

    EDIT: Looks like the post was deleted. If that was you, thanks.

    What the hell...
     
  14. I'm all giddy about this, through I'd be more interested in the music used (if there even is any). I'm odd like that.

    OOOOOOSNAPS.

    All we need to do is buy this thing. Community effort people. Get your spare change, as ANYBODY who wants to play, needs to pay!

    Fuck! I had about $200 before I bought my laptop. Damn you ebay!

    A pretty nice little tune does play during it. If you give me direct download links to the supposed X-Treme music that's out there, I can tell you if it's one of them.

    Word to the wise, I'm past the $2k mark on offers.

    Ok I actually have more than enough money to buy this, especially if I call in the rest of the debts I'm owed. I really don't think the game is worth a 4 figure sum though. Fair enough, it may be rare, but is a game really worth that much, especially one that is incomplete. I'm gonna think about this, but at the moment, I think whoever guys this game has more money than sense. I'd need to hear an extremely good reason to pay that much for this, otherwise I won't bother. I don't wish to spend a 4 figure sum just for the sake of the community, coz I'll get nothing in return, and that's a lot of money. If it wasn't so expensive, I would do it just for the community. I'll just see how things go though.

    (Just for those interested, I can call in debts and get up to ?4500 (roughly $9000) coz I've built and sold PC's, but haven't received the money yet. I'm just saying this in case people don't believe me)

    As excited as I am to hear that you could afford it, I tend to agree. I wouldn't want to spend that much money on it either. I'll help with the cost a bit through Paypal if you get it, but I don't know how much I can contribute. =P

    Yeah I agree +$2000 is rediculous for one person to pay just for everyone else. We all need to contribute somehow. I myself can't afford anything at the moment since I'm in my overdraft >_>
