		I don't remember reading about this anywhere so I'll go ahead in mention it. In japan, besides the smash pack collections for pc, I noticed single game emus being sold. Titles included: Bare Knuckle II Shining in the Darkness Arrow Flash Ecco and others I can't remember, all at about 1700/piece. I'm certain they are emulated b/c it says words to that effect on the box. System requirements are a pentium III 500mhz or above. Are these new or did you guys already know about them?

		Can you offer any more details? I can't say that I've heard of them.

		emazur	Mar 27, 2004
		Not much else in the details department yet, there were maybe between 7 and 15 titles available, all coming in cd size jewel cases, and they are the japanese versions. I was thinking about picking up Bare Knuckle 2

		found the webpage for these if anyone's interested. these games are called sega honpo (means "main shop"): already released titles... april releases...

		It sounds like it's rental based. :huh Running one of the pages through Babelfish churns out stuff about paying 1000 Yen for 30 days rights or something.

		emazur	Apr 15, 2004
		there are rental titles and packaged full version titles. in fact I found the url for the site by looking at the back of the package. the 2 links i provided are the packaged games, but the ones on the main page http://sega-gamehompo.jp/index.html... show several rental-only titles
