It says anyone with the game is advised to "return it" or "destroy it."
How about, "NOT STICK IT IN YOUR PC!!!"

Yea this story is true, it was a screensaver on the gamedisc designed for install on a PC. Which means it was a PC compatible application. Thus vulnurable to viral infection IF one came in contact with it.

Well one did and the developers burned it to the final disc. Thus if you run this screensaver on your PC you will be infected.

Well they were replaced not too long after the game was released ... the version infected is very rare but I would be scared even using the newer version

i bet the creater of that virus really thinks he is something. shit making a virus then seeing it affect a dreamcast game. thats the ultimate goal for a virus creater: to spread it like that, especially IN A SUPOSIDALY SAFE PRODUCT TOO!
