That's okay, complete or not I'm still very interested.
Looking forward to hearing what you think when you get your copy.

Whats the damage on it?  ie the price lol...

I think after converting it I spent something like £36 or so? that was inclusive of p+p from the US. I don't think its too bad to be fair. And they have stressed that the money is not for the purchase of the game just a contribution to the site that entitles you to a copy... something like that anyway lol

I normally try to avoid double posting about anything but thought it worth mentioning that, regarding Geist Force on DC, anyone coming to the show on Saturday is going to be in for a VERY nice surprise!!   

[TL]

I got to play this at the weekend!

Graphically this is a seriously impressive game! But that is where the greatness ends I am afraid. This version is buggy as hell and has a multitude of problems. The controls are a bit off and the collision detection is utterly abysmal. It's nice as a demo but needs a serious amount of work before it can be considered a proper game.

Cheers for the honest feedback. I guess  it is very incomplete code but code you can experience never the less.

yeah I took my copy of it with me to the RV show saturday, no one really saw it except Laird and me lol, most people there didn't know too much about DC and those that did seemed happy playing beat em ups and race games lol

My main bug bear with this game is that there is no clear route or any signs of how to advance in some of the sections. Most are obvious as its just pretty much a straight line, but against the boss monster I got to there was no way of knowing what was required, the space was confined and the ship seemed to just keep flying to fast.

and when a cut scene kicks in the ship darts head first for the ground. Its VERY buggy/Glitchy... some people are looking at tidying up how the code is stored on the disc but all this will help with is the strain on the laser and the random restarts, disappointing for the money spent I'm afraid

Assembler Games have released a downloadable ISO of Geist Force to the internet.

Simply head on over to their release thread and get your hands on Geist Force.

Here is a clip of the game.

cool! Don't hold your breath though guys, its LITERALLY only worth getting to show off the fact that you have it and its graphics, its pretty much totally unplayable which is such a shame

I got my copy a while ago but based on what everyone is saying about it I haven't even opened it yet lol. One of these days I will unwrap it and give it a shot, see if it's really that bad.

for the time being it isn't very good, I'm hoping someone will release a guide that allows you to get the most out of it because its pretty hard to follow and work out what you need to do
