Little help needed...

Got Cannon Spike through today, the back inlay and manual print quality is poor, its nothing that would show up in a pic but the colours just look wrong, could these possible be re-prints??

Nah, it's one of the BigBen distributed games, those had quite poor print quality iirc.

I got MOHO finally, so really Evolution 2 and Samba are my only big titles left, interesting to play MOHO, I know it was reviewed as crappy, but boy it really is pretty bad, the racing levels are just terrible. Funny sometimes the prices we pay for what are terrible games. :D

I got a Dreamcast game the other day, football one, unsure which one (at work, cant remember), this one has a blank side art (unsure what to call it) where you would normally have the name, other than that though it looks ok (ie the back thats attached to it is ok).

I also have one where the game name is upside down, so if I pile my games together, this ones names up side down.

Wonder if anybody has any thoughts on what these are, and are they originals?

NFL Blitz 2000 does indeed have a blank "spine", that's normal. Can't remember any upside down spines but then again it wouldn't surprise me.

They have not been discussed here as far as I am aware. Personally, I think these are fantastic additions to any DC librarry, but I wanted to gauge others opinions?

Did you end up getting them, whats it like to play MGS on the Dreamcast? I'm considering gettin this one myself to relive that awsome game :)

They are nice to have but I'd never use them. The PS1 controller is superior, the emulation with it's supposed enhancements just messes with the original game, and most of these have been superseded by better remakes or sequels, like Twin Snakes on the cube.

Ah, ya see, I quite like the Bleemcast MGS.

I think the graphics were fairly significantly improved. Agreed, not quite up to the Twin Snakes standard but.....now I don't want to be shot for this.....but.....I'm not keen on MGS2. Parking the Raiden 'thing' to one side, the moving bodies and hiding them thing plus other features don't work for me. A lot of these features were brought in to Twin Snakes and unfortunately, for me (and I am keen to point out that I'm probably on my own on this one), killed the original MGS experience for me a bit.

Hence, I quite liked the Bleemcast version.

I sure wouldn't mind the Bleemcast discs just from a collecting POV but really the graphic enhancement isn't really anything to do with the bleemcast disc itself from what I can tell it's just the DC's anti-aliasing chip doing it's job XD

Thanks for the advice on the Bleemcast MGS guys, if it is just the DC's anti-aliasing chip doing the work would you say that playing the original MGS in a PS2 would do the same thing, which system would produce the superior graphics? Is the MGS Bleemcast disk multi-region i.e there's no PAL or NTSC variants of the Bleem disks are there? I never really got into MGS2 on the PS2 as much as the original on PS1, so if the Twin Snakes version plays more like MGS2 then i'm still considering getting this Bleemcast MGS. Cheers.
