The Ghost Blade

[Wrath of Khan]

I don't see any reason in boycotting hucast. They are the only game in town so to speak. Love them or hate them they are regularly releasing games for the dreamcast.
Imo beggars can't be choosers.

Sure there are other games from other companies but nobody with their prodigious output.

I'll continue to buy hucast products. Gunlord was ace, Neo xyx was nice except for that damn bug.

NGdevTeam I'm a fan of. Hucast, sadly, I'm not. Completely different output, radically different modus operandi and customer service.

Yes, Rene Hellwig is in both teams. Timm is not. That's why NGdevTeam games are originally coded for the Neo Geo and Hucast games are for PC. That's also why Chui was reached to code Ghost Blade for the DC after the game was mostly designed... but not properly coded.

So, prodigious may be a bit too generous.

I see, thanks for clearing that up. Prodigious may be a strong word perhaps somewhat regular is a better choice.

Apparently Hucast's site has gone down until JANUARY 2016?

It seems strange to me since no one is able to check orders they have made in the store.

[hombreimaginario]

Of course. They give such great customer service they needed a rest.

[Wrath of Khan]

It's down for maintenance now. My copy of ghost blade has yet to be posted. Prior to this there was no dispatch history or pending even. Oh well maybe it will be like sturmwind it arrived out of the blue with no dispatch e-mail or any communication from redspot games.

Do the LEs have a serial number somewhere? Just wondering, since it'll probably be a while until i receive my copy which was "in stock"

These guys really need to get their act together. If they care about their customers they would have issued a statement to assure us that everything is okay. I guess the site is down for changes because hucast are only going to post withing europe from now on, playasia will handle the us etc.

Still they need to cop on.

To answer my own question: No, they don't have serial numbers

I've just played for 1,5h and well.. nothing to write home about, i guess.

Don't get me wrong, it's a solid Shmup but it also really generic IMHO. On the plus side, it's for the Dreamcast so yeah..

[Wrath of Khan]

Luckily iv'e become addicted to shmups in the last few years. It was shmups or nothing on the dc and so the genre gradually grew on me.
Now what on earth have Hucast done with my limited edition copy...
