So, let me get this straight...

1. There was a fundraiser for the Check Disc.
2. Those who donated to the fund are eligible to win Check Disc.
3. Black_Tiger volunteered to donate art for minimum pledges of $________.
4. Black_Tiger will be sending me artwork.

...is that the gist of it?

Thanks in advance

Correctamundo, Steve!

In other news, I emailed Brian asking how the check disc was coming along and he said he would get back to me today. No word yet, we'll see how it goes tomorrow.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

You'd think that if a company is going to charge such a ridiculous price for a test disc, that they'd at least provide great service and communication with it.

I got a feeling that within a short amount of time, that message will actally occur!

Going by what the guy said, I'm assuming that the disc has already been made and sent and Keranu will receive it this week. He has always been poor at maintaining communication, probably because there isn't usually much back and forth with customers and they have already been paid, so this is likely the lowest priority for them. So the lack of a response isn't surprising, but I'm hoping that the original estimate of a quick turn around comes true.

Oh. My. GOD! You guys aren't going to believe this one, or maybe some of you will.


So I finally get a response from Brian today. Good news! He's supplied a UPS tracking number and it's set to arrive at my house when I got home from work!

Sure enough, I get home and there's a package sent to "Frozen Utopia" sitting on the table. Woo boy, I'm excited! Just a few test runs and we can finally get this baby mass produced!

I rush to pop the disc into my Turbo Duo. It says "Project: Mysterious" on the see-through case and CD face; our beloved project finally on a professional medium! The system is turned on, the screen demands for the RUN button to be pressed. Controller in hand, my thumbs waste no time to boot the game up.

The vanish of the System Card screen is accompanied by a familiar BUZZZT! sound. I recognized this sound right away, which is discussed many pages back in this very thread. "Darn, oh well. Guess that's unavoidable, I can live with it," I assure myself. The CD continues to load...

And then comes the horror! Horrible, horrid, horror! Rather than the Frozen Utopia logo appearing as it's supposed to, I get a surprise greeting from AETHERBYTE STUDIOS!

That's right, those jackasses sent me INSANITY instead of OUR OWN game!

At first I laughed and said "You HAVE to be kidding me!" But then the terrible reality sunk into my mind. Not only will this delay our cursed game even further, but this means Nationwide may yet again run into the same stamper problem when we ask for a new check disc, leaving the "it won't play in our PC" cycle to repeat.

But in the hopes that they are able to replicate a check disc for Mysterious Song, and not Insanity, I refuse to pay them any further dollars for their own f*ck up.


I wish this was a sick practical joke. I'll take some pictures later.

Wow! That's a lot of money for insanity. I bet arkhan would have given it to you cheaper :)

Keep after them. They have to be running out of ways to screw up :/
