did anyone get a loose copy of sapphire when they bought the repro?  the loose one i bought might be a cdr as it looks different - lighter in colour mainly - not that it matters but should i not be using it if it is a cdr?  i have always just used the loose disc and have never played the actual repro - thanks

He started selling off the misprints cheap.

Mine came in, got 96 of 100.  8) I never had a chance to play Renny Blaster before, and I ended up finishing it in one sitting only dying once near the end. I figured out pretty quickly that I could just cheese the enemies with the slide attack. That game is weird, a bit janky all around that's for sure.

There does appear to be some jank, yes.

How long did it take you?

Wasn't keeping track but it felt like no more than 30 minutes.

Renny Blaster is an unfinished project that got sewn up and kicked out the door before being polished. It had a lot of potential though.

Got mine in today. BT, did you take any pics yet? You'll probably have better lighting than I do. I can try after work later today maybe.

Bad lighting at my place too. Still waiting. Canada Post takes extra long for stuff that doesn't fit in a mail box and the carriers in my area only bother delivering two or three times a week.

30 minutes, hmm? Since you're a time traveler, I'll assume that means 45-60 for everyone else. Zhank you. I played it for a sec. then realized OMG need to play dat Kaze Kiri.

In my old playthrough video, it's 34 minutes from when you first gain control of a character until you beat the final boss. That's including the cinemas in-between, which can likely be skipped.

Got mine today. I have to admit, the quality of this reproduction is kind of stunning. I'm pretty blown away by it. The attention to detail, the fact that he even included the spine cards, the concept art, and other extras, is really impressive.

Now, is it $150 impressive? I guess that's up to the buyer. The fact that these are basically glorified bootlegs makes me say no. But the overall quality makes me say yes.
Games I Need: Bonk 3 (HuCard), Legend of Hero Tonma, Magical Chase, Soldier Blade, Super Air Zonk.

Got one to sell? PM me!

I gotta add my hat to the "blown away by quality" group. And Kazi Kiri is so much fun that I can't believe that I have been avoiding this game for so many years. If you like Kung Fu on the NES then you'll be in 16-Bit Super CD Heaven. No pics yet. It's nighttime now and I'll need sunshine to add the proper amount of light.

I got lot 24 out of 100.

Well, gosh darn, guess this be a game I don't have to block out much time for. Neato!

Thanks, Mister.
