ok its certainly not dodgy or even weird because its a back up copy of it i guess .
its basically the same as when you get something like half life only that this game has been released and so its unecessary copying . hey some of us cant afford the 40 pounds tag line so that ok considering it would mean playing the game

how do you figure that one? if it were a rare gdrom that you get before release then he would say so, it would be a good selling point for him to use. and he wouldnt put it a t £5 buy it now would he?? he is selling a copy that he has made similar to the discs i use to burn halflife from a torrent program once i download it such as propeller arena. its not fair on triangle service or the dreamcast community when idiots sell these discs and even worse when people allow it by buying them.

i agree, as i said it doesnt make it right and it will only encourage the guy to produce more copies that he spent maybe 5 minutes burning and is making money from you for doing nothing. money that triangle rightly deserves. i understand if some people cant afford it but only those who are selfish and do not believe in supporting the dreamcast or the very few software companies still making games for it should buy stuff from idiots like that seller.

Why should any developer create new Dreamcast games if the gamers don't have the respect to pay money for the product. We wouldn't even be able to play the game in the first place had they not spent months and months, even a year or more at times creating them.

I feel nothing for anyone who doesn't have the money to purchase a Dreamcast new release, and feels because of that, it makes piracy a valid option.

If you don't have the money, save your money over time, if it is a game you really want.

*Cross my fingers and hope i dont get in trouble*

What if you dont really want the game?

I considered buying this game, but i wasnt sure if i wanted it so i downloaded it. I hated it, so i threw away the copy. (Yes, i really did throw it away) I dont see a problem with downloading a game to see if you like it, as long as you are willing to dispose of it soon after. I dont have much cash, so i would have been really bummed if i had payed 65 bucks for a game to sit on my shelf.

sounds mildly legit to me, seeing that their is no way to rent a game for the dc, and that you did dispose of it. problem is, very few people go about it the way you do.
