    plays pretty much the same as outrun c2c. still pretty fun to play and it’s a relief all the cars are unlocked already.

    @Warrengonline, yeah I know #3 sounds absurd but “These games not marketable” was a direct quote I received from Atari’s promoting section, which I received during there 4 game XBLA release last year.

    I initially contacted them as Australia and several other regions never received these games. I also contacted the devlopers of these games – Stainglass games and they were absolutely unaware that there remade games were only released in certain regions, there quote was “it’s a shame not to see all our work be appreciated”

    When Australia never receives a game, I will always try to find out why. the majority of the reasons have been classifications issues.

    TMNT was a classic as they thought that when they applied for classifcation in the US they thought, it the whole world was included!! pure genius!
    Some have forgot to submit it for classification. and it only costs $2500(au) to get pitence really compared to how much is made from these games!
    One game was never even submitted to microsoft!
    The first two Atari games were unmarketable! which is bizarre as people still downloaded Yaris (i know it was free but still : )

    Australia, As far as I know, has never had a licensing issue with a game. they are mainly classification issues as we only have a highrst rating of M 15+ for video games, thats why you see that GTAIV was censored (mind you the GTAIV DLC put the deleted stuff back in!!!).
    But there is a huge licensing issue with the video marketplace. you guys should check out the content that is on the Australian marketplace. we have Red N Blue, few episodes of Jace Hall, the guild and that’s it! pitiful.

    What about Space Harrier? Anyone remember that? ;-)

  • xeno3d

    Space Harrier was awesome too. I think that is on the latest Sonic Genesis Collection though

    Major get rid of your twitter section, it’s a ego-centric attention grab and no one cares what you are doing every 15 minutes, get a life!

    Absolutely loving this game. Well worth the 800 points and hopefully we’ll be seeing HD ports of Sega RallY Championship and Daytona USA. Please !.
