Almost anything is better than Last Hope. And Last Hope is the only reason I'm not ordering this game until I see some more gameplay and opinions from people once the game comes out. Let us know!

DO I NEED A BOOT DISK OR ANYTHING TO PLAY THIS, I wont buy it unless it will just run in a US Dreamcast, I dont like messing with the home consoles, handhelds on the other hand :twisted:

The only problem is that your Dreamcast has to be able to read CD-R because this is not a GD-ROM game. Hopefully yours is one of them.

BTW HeavyMetalMe, how do you get an interview with the developer??? Do you need some kind of press credential or you just come up to their door and start knocking??? Love the interview. Thanx a lot.

So how do we tell if it'll work in our US Dreamcast? Do the other "homebrew" DC games that've come out in the last few years work, too?

I love my DC and shooters, so I'm in if I can play it!

I would be surprised if this game didn't work in a Dreamcast. Did anyone have problems with Lost Hope? I mean, problems with getting the game to play, not with the game itself. It's clear most people didn't like it...

Download and burn a known-good Dreamcast game. If it works, Dux will work. It you can't make it work you might have a problem.
