    I received my shipping confirmation yesterday as well. I ordered on the 23rd. I don't know what the deal was but those games should have been boxed and waiting for shipping labels when Cobb made his announcement. It's absurd the think that it would take over a month to ship those games.

    I am currently stuck on Planet Boring. I was told I needed to find 9 people for my space ship crew. I trudged around at a snail's pace because evidently this game uses the Z80 running at 1/10th speed to do ALL of its processing. Found the 9 people. Told to go blow it out of my ass, I'm not leaving. Get some sort of random message FROM NOWHERE saying there is someone else on the planet I need to find. There's not much room to look, and the thought of trudging around some more listening to this absolutely dreadful music was too much, so I turned the game off.

    Bottom line: I am not stuck because of the difficulty or because I can't figure something out, I am stuck because the game is too boring. Seriously, watching mold grow on the inside of a toilet bowl is more exciting. Hopefully I can build up the tolerance to boredom in order to get off this planet, but I think I'll keep being distracted by other things which are more fun like laundry, mowing the grass, waiting on hold for hours, etc.

    Hehe... I'm part of the 2nd batch, so I've been resigning myself to the idea that I'll probably have forgotten that I ordered it by the time it actually ends up in my hands. What sucks is that this site is practically a daily reminder of that.

    There are two passages which appear to be nothing but that, however if you inspect the walls of them you will find some hidden rooms.

    Received the game in the mail today, yay! Won't be able to play it for a week because I'm busy, boo!

    The packaging really does look lovely, the plastic on the outside doesn't look as good as the official sega ones but it'll do. Thanks SFT!

    Something new on that planet? I'm intrigued. Is this hidden in the same way that one (or was it two) platforms were hidden in Pier Solar? I guess if it was done here first, 20 years ago, people should probably bitch a little less about that maybe. Still not cool, just sayin'!

    I also got stuck here. Read the instructions if you don't mind being spoiled: At the very top tunnel (in the one close to the new ship that is awaiting you) you should search the walls. In fact, there's not much searching to be done. Going south from the new ship and entering the tunnel, you should use your Brain Sword to open a hidden passage on your character's right (the left wall on the screen, since your character is moving down). It should be very close to the top entrance. There's a tunnel that will go east from there into the hidden lab. Just make sure you bring a maximum of two players with you, since this new character is going to join you. Then you're off to the final level from there. Good luck.

    It has arrived!

    Wow, moving out of the first area looks like it will take some time.

    mine has arrived too. The product looks good and I'm happy with it. Service still sucks though.

    Thanks guys. I am on the next planet now and doing my best to level up the n00b characters. Got surrounded in battle once. The girl keeps dying but the mutant levels up almost every battle. Haven't tried the kangaroo guy yet.

    Nice article, but I completely disagree about the plastic clamshells from Watermelon being better than those of SFT. That's preposterous.
