Silvergun Oddity on eBay...

Post by BulletMagnet »

I happened upon this auction and smelled something fishy...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 50690&rd=1

I've never heard of anything like this before...my gut tells me it's probably not legit. Does anyone else know more about this than I do, or what exactly this guy is selling? I've no reason to buy it myself since I already own the Saturn version, but I'm still quite curious...

It seems very fishy. The same seller is also has "buy any GCN, Xbox, or PS2 game for super cheap" auctions which are also just as fishy.

Bogus written all over it. :x

He's probably selling a CDR bootleg of Radiant Silvergun with GiriGiri on it, or some other emulator that is shite at best. :roll:

It's pretty much what it says it is. Which does not entail that it's in any way legit. It's a hacked version of a commercial Saturn emulator Sega put out in japan applied to an ISO of Raidiant Silvergun. I've played the game this way, and it runs fine, though there's synch problems and the music sucks.

Yeah,

"PC program" = Giri Giri (hacked), Gsaturn, Cassini, or any variant of Sega's official Gigi Giri emulator thereof

"Game" = ISO

The emulator is hardly perfect, esp. since it was mostly designed to run Sega's own games. Low end systems also won't even reach the Saturn's full potential via emulator.

The buyer was a dumbass, either not knowing what he bought or paying $20 for easily findable downloads.

Hopefully, he's just a joke account. But considering he paid money for that shit, he's a complete idiot regardless.

Creating an account to flame him for what everyone knows is a fake anyways? Haha.
