Yo how is it coming?

 Mr. Saturn May 7, 2003
We are in the last steps of clearing the last errors in licensing, packaging, etc...

Maybe Prolific will take on the distribution in U.S. so you don´t have to pay the high postage

I´m sorry for the delay, but i just couldn´t imagine how long this will take...

 Mr. Saturn May 9, 2003
...and one more reason, Prolific is on its way to release a GBA version of Return Fire and the guy wants to wait until this release to re-release the Saturn version...

So i think we´ll have to wait one or two months more...but we are waiting since 1996, so 2 months are nothing

thanx man I am still excited it is inly 2 player though right It would be great if you could work in 4 but you guys are hard at work so 2 players or not, we really appreciate the fact that you are breating life in to one of the greatest games ever IMO, it is funny I didnt buy it forever because I waited for the Saturn version (I had a saturn at the time and then my friend had it on 3do) and then it never came out so I forgot about it then you came along arty thanks for everything man .

-Cheers To Your Hardwork-

:cheers

I never played Return Fire but hear good things about it.

It's taking me this much, though, to not just throw the Bleem beta into my Dreamcast and try the PSX version of Return Fire.

Wow! If they do, will the cds be playable on a normal saturn? I mean, they might got an old Saturn Dev Unit left...

Somehow I seriously doubt it. And a Saturn dev unit wouldn't help at all. You still need to go through the expensive mastering process to get a proper saturn playable disc. Unless they find a large stash of Saturn CDR's don't bet on it.

well, the Battlesphere guys managed to get Jaguar carts manufactured 5 years after the system's death... and carts are more expensive to produce...

Actually no. Carts are alot cheaper to make. Especially if you're only going to be doing low quantities of them. A typical cart would cost maybe $5 these days. With CD's you need to get a master done which can run into several thousands to make. And thats even before getting a license from sega to use the security ring and actually stamping the minimum (usually several thousand) disc you need to do to make this even worth the effort.

A typical cart isn't going to cost $5 unless you use mask ROM, which also requires having a "master" made.

edit: actually, you might be able to pull it off with EPROM right now, but probably only because AMD's end-of-lifed theirs.

Saturn CDRs don't have the security ring on them.

My Virtual Open Tennis beta doesn't anyway...
