Didn't see a thread for this yet.
Super Fighter Team will now be releasing a digital copy of all 3 of their Genesis RPGs for $20.

It's a good idea and all, but I still hope they produce more copies of those Genesis RPGs. Maybe this will lower the value on them so they can be bought cheaper on ebay. Thoughts anyone?

It just got crushed by the "Orbi".
"Yeah, I can't produce more copies of my games because I know the demand is so small the print run wouldn't be cost-effective to me, so I'll just slam them together into an .exe file and I'm sure people will be pleased, though I said before it's all about playing it on your actual Sega Genesis and not a ROM on your computer."

I agree. Even if it cost like $5k I would happily fund a reprint for some of those games because I can guarantee you would sell stock out almost immediately. It would be more of a sure fire way to make a profit than anything I can think of. I thought the excuse was that he no longer had the rights to make carts, but if he's releasing ROMs for sale I'd guess he still has them then.Quote:

So yeah, ok, I think it's always nice to give games a wider distribution/audience, but I really don't understand this move at all.
a third round of preorders for nightmare busters would be a bit suspicious, so...
well, still gave my 20 bucks to brandon, even though I already have the carts, and the roms too.
Similar thing here; about 9 months ago, he told me in an interview that he'd find it "more palatable to drink from a dog's bowl" than to make his games available for PCs. So this move kinda surprises me as well.Quote:

I dunno, I doubt you really know as much as you claim, megadrivemania.
They recently had a poll on Facebook asking which platform people would want them to publish their next game for, MD was an option.
I also asked Brandon personally via email whether they'd consider reprinting their back catalog:
I wonder if there will be new physical copies of your games ?
It's still possible.
"I completely missed the opportunity to pre-order Nightmare Busters and your Genesis games now have become highly sought after rarities only few people can afford to keep in their collection. I think they've actually become the rarest games ever made for the platform. So I really hope there will be new prints for your back catalog."
Yes. The situation is something we're aware of and hope to be able to remedy some day -- but people must understand we can't just crank out copies of whatever we want, when we want. It's a difficult, costly, time-consuming process, so we have to make it count. And with new products always on the horizon, we have to keep our priorities straight.
This was a few days ago. (I hope Brandon doesn't mind me "leaking" this information).
I asked quite recently if "the American platformer for Genesis/Mega Drive" is still planned to get released, and Brandon said yes. So I don't know what you are talking about.Quote:

I'm actually interested to hear what you have to say. I would want more cartridge games myself.
I was not to pleased to recieve an email from SFT detailing the release all three SEGA Genesis games in digital from. I fully expected that the company would consider releasing another shipment of the games in the future. Unfortunately I have no interest in purchasing a digital copy of any of the games to play on my computer and therefore my quest for a physical copy of the elusive "Legend of Wukong" continues.
Would like to know if someone has the original unaltered installer/archive for this, since I bought it legally when it was available but no longer have the file on hand or in storage anywhere, and would like to have it again. They never said we had to delete or stop using it after their license expired, either.
