@slider1983 You pay a premium for buying from a brick and mortar store. They've got HUGE overheads that need paying. It's not ideal, but if we want places like this to even exist, then that's just the way it has to be.
Got to say this place looks exemplary, everything a game store should be. Wish I lived closer so I could give them some business.
If I create a drink called "Super Coca Cola", Coca Cola are absolutely going to come after me.
Like @avcrypt says, it's about whether it can reasonably create confusion. Any lay person might think this is an official Sega product because it uses the name "Sega" and similar branding.
This will get shut down in a heartbeat and I just hope that any victims of the scam are able to get their money back.
I don't agree with PandaMoniumGR / Voultar. This is fine.
At the end of the day the optical drive is just a means of getting game data into the console. We can live without them now that we have ODEs. This is still original hardware providing an authentic experience.
So what if the console can't use CDs? Prices for original copies are out of reach, and if you're using CD-Rs you might as well use an ODE. Which is a superior method anyway.
And what's more, there are more than enough Saturns out there anyway for people that do insist on an optical drive, they're easy to get hold of. They're not all going to disappear because people are doing this.
This is a total non-issue and a huge overreaction.
Speaking as a MiSTer owner who's familiar with FPGAs - this is absolutely 100% never going to get released. I will eat my hat if there's a finished product. Dreamcast in FPGA is wildly ambitious to say the least!
Yeah I'm sorry to say but this doesn't look very good. If you're bringing it to the Neo Geo and charging hundreds of dollars for a cart, you've got to pull out all the stops.

Re: M2's 'Operation Night Strikers' Collection Adds Two More Classic Taito Titles
@Daniel36 Those are the letter S. "NIGHT STRIKERS", not "NIGHT STRIKER8". It's just a weird font.

Of course that isn't how it works.

The British tabloid press are a national embarrassment. They exist only to stir the pot, create division, and spread misinformation.
