Pier Solar: Official Thread

I like how PS "ED" (not HD) for DC looks so much more richer than md version. I hope the pressed dc cd doesn't skip like the pressed sega cd audio version.

I Preordered my Copy yesterday, but I went for the Genesis copy. but im confused in the description it says that you use the Sega CD for the music, is it included with the game ?

I've just bought a 2nd hand reprint edition, probably will take 2-3 weeks to arrive but I am very excited!!

All I need now is to find the CD image for the mega-cd OST

The disc is not included in the reprint version.

From the FAQ:

How does REPRINT edition differs from Classic/Posterity Editions of Pier Solar for Sega Genesis/Mega Drive version?
REPRINT edition comes into a plastic clamshell instead of cardboard clamshell. Goodies are different. Classic/Posterity Editions also included the Enhanced Soundtrack Disc (now sold separately with the OST).

But you can still download a slightly modified* version of the disc from the official forums at piersolar.com... *link*

* This package contains a reduced version of Pier Solar disc to be used with Pier Solar game cartridge on Mega/Sega CD - no extra's like wallpapers etc.

I've seen the old ones, but have there been any newer screenshots of the Dreamcast version?

DC version is supposed to be pretty much the same as the HD versions, only in 480p instead of 720p, as far as I know

Sorry if this has already been discussed in the thread: is there another Genesis printing happening for this game? I added my name to the pre-order late last year and there was a recent email saying there would be a new email specifically for those of us who had pre-ordered, but I've not seen that second email yet.

[IrishNinja]

oh yeah, i put in for that reprint just a while back too...no idea when it's happening, though.

Last weekend @RetroMadrid:



Oh yeah, that's Pier Solar HD running on Linux on Chui's netbook



And there you have the man himself, showing Pier Solar on Ouya, Linux, Dreamcast and of course Mega Drive.



And that's the special, 100% retro issue we at Games Tribune Magazine (GTM) created for the event!

Got my Genny copy on preorder...

[madcrow]

Wait... Pier Solar made the cover of a magazine??? That's kind of awesome. Wish the Genesis version was more available, though. I guess I'll console myself with the Linux version once its available. Hopefully there won't be any persy DRM to cause problems.

It did, yeah. I wrote the article myself. We sold the whole 300 copies we brought to RetroMadrid in like 5 hours or so
