Pier Solar so reminds me of Lunar on the Mega/Sega CD.

dcultrapro · April 04, 2013, 16:03:27 PM

you know pier solar was released on md first in 2010 right?

onthinice · April 04, 2013, 16:08:56 PM

Yeah, I never followed its release.

I have always heard kind words about the game.

Just that I do not seem to find the time to play RPG's anymore. When Pier Solar came out I was debating between Lunar for the Playstation or importing the Saturn version.

Still deciding but a DreamCast version sounds tempting

There are threads about all those games in the homebrew section

dcultrapro · April 04, 2013, 16:15:34 PM

yep I know, just thought I'd update the Dreamcast thread with some info... me being a prime example, I often miss news and info about stuff like this and thought it'd be helpful to those who hadn't already heard of them

onthinice · April 04, 2013, 16:20:23 PM

I always appreciate the info.

Retro Video Gamer is my only choice for gaming news and info

I know mate, very good idea.

I was just pointing out where people could find more info and discuss each game

dcultrapro · April 04, 2013, 16:39:14 PM

thanks! Yeah I was proper hacked off to find that I had missed the kick starter for Pier Solar HD... oh well!

generally speaking re the DC, I'd be interested to know just how many units roughly would be in existence still... I know it would be impossible to ever find out but I'm just fascinated by its constant popularity and support even now. I know it sold just over 10 Million, so there can't be much more than that out there in the hands of the public, just interesting to contemplate. I wonder how many of them are still used by people properly and of those people, how many know about the new games that are still coming out?

I used to have three DreamCasts, kept one, sold one and one the laser lens quit working. Tried to get it fixed but ended up scrapping the thing.

That could be quite fun, after a lot of alcohol.

Looks good - oddly enough this is in a similar style to the original Mario Bros which was a single screen battle type of game.

There's a battle mode selectable in the SMB3 menu of Msrio All Stars on the SNES which isn't bad at all for a short blast and it's a shame Nintendo themselves haven't expanded upon it like this.
