It's no piece of cake if you leave the difficulty/credits at their default.

I think the "it's too easy" philosophy comes from the folks who max out the bombs, credits, and dumb down the difficulty.

Word.  I thought that it was easy because I always had a much better chance of completing it on the default difficulty and with a single credit than I did with any other shmup.

that's not a thought, that's a fact!

every normal thinking person with a little bit of brian will try to beat it with one credit.

Honestly, I wouldn't worry.

That guy was always 100% trustworthy in the past.

Keep in mind lost of stuff gets delayed in the post around this time of year. I ordered some video encoder ICs on 12/18 or 12/19. They shipped 12/20 and I didn't receive them until 12/27. I took them a full 7 days to travel 3 states over. Normally I would expect stuff like that in 2 days, 3 at most.

I got mine from his EBay auction last month - took about 4 days to get here (UK), I think it shipped from Germany or Austria. Now all I need to find is my damn Arcade Card so I can stop playing it on Magic Engine!

@ Sinistron:  Maybe this tool intercepted your copy of Sapphire, now the douche is trying to pass it off as an original.  I pity the poor sucker that falls for his shit, but the private listing should be a giant warning sign.

That'd be something, eh?   :cry:
Either way this guy was actually very nice about it and promised to send out another.
Two sent and I just want uno.  Just ordered Valis I today- let's see which gets here sooner.  I'm banking on Valis.

He sold one a few weeks back for about £110 IIRC - I guess the buyer either sent it back or got pissed off, as no feedback has been left!

FINALLY got my Sapphire- well after a month of when he mailed it.  Lost in the mail with the holiday madness I'm guessing.
This game is amazing and I declare the bootleg well worth the 60 bucks.  I actually like this more than LOT (more of an overhead shooter fan) though it appears to be a shorter game.  I've never seen graphics like this on the pc-engine- and probably never will again-  obviously the arcade card power being utilized.  Bosses and mid-bosses are awe inspiring.  Soundtrack may not be as good as LOT but sounds like it could very well be from the same sessions.  Two players, 4 ships to choose from and multiple power-ups.  Goddamn this game fogging rocks.  One of the jewels in my nest along with Dracula-X and Dungeon Explorer II.

Oh crap!  Are you going to end up with two copies, or has he not yet mailed the replacement copy?  I don't know about you, but I'd hate to screw the dude out of a second copy when shipping is out his control, yet I'd also hate to eat return shipping.

Already decided I'd do the right thing.  E-mailed him already telling him that if a second copy does show up that I'll return it.  That's because it was postmarked around when he said it was- so it wasn't his fault.  I'm gonna send it back snail mail- like he sent it.

Look at the third post on page three of this thread- I'm sure he's probably still got some- aside from the one I'll be returning if he really did send me two.

You and Sinistron should get together and cut out the middleman and extra shipping (the original dude should still get paid, obviously).
