My turn to thank you very much. I don't have time to try it yet. But it's so impressive to find a complete game in 2021 !
I never heard of it, even 20 years ago maybe just a few lines in a magazine. I never imagined the game could be so close to a release.
Hope you'll can find the issue for online.

The story about the research of this disc should be wonderful, may you tell to us one day :-)

Castlevania and Dee Dee Planet within months of each other?!

I'd never have thought that would happen :)

Huge thanks for getting this released to all involved.

Looking at the credits, it seems Sonic Team had some involvement with the game. They're listed under "Special Thanks" so most likely they were consulted on design or something along those lines.

Someone in the credits is credited for designing the manual... so somewhere out there, maybe on an old HDD or CD-r, is a completed Japanese manual for DDP ;)

Heck there's probably one for Propeller Arena as well.

This would be incredible to get online. I can't think of another gaming "scene" that has ever done something like that - namely, find an unreleased game that was designed to be an online playable title, and then actually get it running online (especially 20 years later!)

Excellent work. This would be a nice game online. It still amazes me that there are Compete unreleased Dreamcast games out there.
