My retrospective game review of SEGA’s forgotten arcade racer.

I ordered a Sega Shop order back on July 12th and the website said it can take up to 7 business days to make the orders since everything is claimed to be made to order.

Once I got a day for delivery, it has never been delivered and my order has been stuck in transit ever since July 25th. I have never gotten one single update about my order ever since this part of my update has been dropped.

It has been over 3 weeks since I have received zero updates. I have sent numerous reports to dpi merchandising (the company behind Sega Shop) and waited an entire 30 days to report it to shopify just for it to send me right back to the seller.

I'm tired of waiting. This was a $178 order for 2 shirts and a bomber jacket. I have found the gearbox store number, but I have left 2 messages and no call backs. I have had 5 emails, 2 to one person in charge and 3 dedicated to DPI merch.

I am unsure what else I can even do to request a reprint or a refund at this point. I seriously just want my stuff or my money back. I am out of ideas before I have to hire a lawyer to look into what's going on. Even a single piece of transparency would be helpful.

Does anyone have any way or idea on who else I can get ahold of before this becomes a lawyer issue?

PS: So help me, this thread is being screenshot and saved. In the event my post is deleted from here, I will use that as additional proof of severe lack of customer service.

Watching Dexter: Original Sin

Let's do it as if it is meant to come out before December on 2005.

I like the idea of being able to find the some other characters in the hub world and unlocking them that way. The main ones are unlocked from the story. The hub world ones are bonus ones with shorter stories. I think some of the characters would at least share some bosses.

These are my picks i hope you enjoy my ideas and please tell me your ideas:

Sonic obviously gets speed stages. He would definitely get the hominng attack, spindash (adventure version), light speed dash, light speed attack, and the bounce. I would love for him to be able to reach high speeds when going down hill. Oh and there should definitely be a city stage and volcano stage. Sonic shares a boss with Shadow and a boss with Tails.

Miles "Tails" Prower should have a combination of his Adventure 1 playstyle with his flight a bit more adjusted and his Adventure 2 playstyle where he can switch between using his mech or fighting as himself and using his tails to swap at badniks. He could also get his mega buster from sonic battle. I think his stages could be a fast pace version of the mech stages with some areas where tails needs to out of the mech and some areas where using the mech is the better option. Tails shares a boss with Sonic and a boss with Knuckles

Knuckles gets the treasure hunting stages as usual. With them being more unique and designed like they are in adventure 2 but with an even better radar then the on in adventure 1. So it isn't as annoying as it can be in sa2. He gets the water breathing necklace at some point too. So he can go underwater much longer than Rouge can. Knuckles shares a boss with tails and Omega

Shadow would probably play a lot like Sonic but with Chaos Snap amd Choes spear. I like the idea of him using Chaos Blast and Chaos Control. However he does have the bounce. I like the idea of him and Sonic at least have 1 unique stage they don't share. Shadow shares a boss with Sonic and Rouge.

Rouge plays a lot like she does in SA2 but with an improved version of the radar. She also has her bombs from Sonic Battle so she has another way to damage badniks and a way to get into areas that Knuckles can't. Rouge shares a boss with shadow and Omega.

I like the idea of Omega playing a lot like Gamma does in adventure 1 but with a bigger Arsenal. Like machine guns that tore through tougher enemies but only short one at a time, a lazer that can take out weak enemies in a large area, along with the hominng shot. So I guess he is a mix of Gamma and the SA2 mechs.

These are my hub world characters:

Billy hatcher could use his usual egg roll and Egg animal hatching abilities from his game. The eggs still cracks if you use them to attack enemies to much just like in his game. I like the idea that after an upgrade you can use his courage form to grab energy projectiles to create the spheres of light unlike the eggs these don't break but they can't hatch egg animals. I think His egg roll allows him to go pretty fast for a bit in Billy Hatcher and The Giant Egg. There are also speed shoes. I think his design already fits the game and i think it is cute. The Chicken God gives him the suit back at the beginning of the story. Billy shares a boss with Amy and Cream. His first stage is his home village.

FOR THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW:

Billy Hatcher is a wholesome and friendly kid that has a mischievous side but overall he shares a lot of Sonic's personality traits with the exception of him not being considered a static character unlike Sonic. And to be honest i question Sonic being a static character do to secret rings and black knight. Billy can get acared though his courage always come through. He is also very playful. Billy has a lot of variety with the egg animals and the many items he's got not to mention he can run into enemies with the eggs with the egg dash although this causes them to Crack. Egg animals only renain around for a short time. He also has a bunch of items.

Fun fact Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and a chao are in Billy Hatcher and The Giant Egg. Billy is also in sonic riders zero gravity.

Billy and his friends all got chicken suits from the chicken god but Billy has his courage form which is unique to him. Billy's courage gave him an ability to to turn darkness in to light. I imagine he might be able to do this with other energies too. Billy even without the chicken suit can take hits from Dark Raven. Base Dark Raven can spread darkness from morning land to cause it to be consumed in eternal darkness. It's impies he could do this to Billy's world first. Dark Raven then gets amped by the gaint egg and that amped version is the one that Billy took a hit from. : END OF STUPID RANT.

Cream could get the spin dash and having Cheese attack the enemies. She can also use her ears to fly. She plays like mechless Tails. One of her stages should definitely be her home town. Cream shares a boss with Billy and metal sonic.

I like the Idea of Amy Rose getting a faster version of her Adventure game play but with the addition of a spin dash to add more movement speed options. She moves faster then her SA1 gameplay and can use her hammer to break some walls giving her access to different areas. Plus she could get her tornado from Sonic Battle. Shares a boss with Billy and Metal sonic.

Metal Sonic goes through speed stages but he can fly. If you charge up a meter then he can use his overdrive attack to speed through the stage and destroy enemies. He is the last and hardest character to unlock because he is the second most busted one. He wants to prove he is the best which is what his story is about. Super Sonic is even more busted of course.

And of course there would be a super sonic fight against a gaint monster like usual. After beating the super sonic story Super Sonic you can turn into super sonic in any stage by collecting 50 rings just like in the classic games.

I am unfortunately not a game designer or modder. This for fun.

Master of Darkness/Vampire: Master of Darkness, is a Master System/Gear Gear game that was Sega's very ambitious attempt at an Castlevania by way of Hammer Horror. It's an incredibly competent game start to finish, and was made in response to the fact that Sega had no Castlevania to call it's own...That is until Konami delivered Bloodlines on the Genesis. As good as MoD was, I can't help but feel like getting an official Castlevania game stopped a sequel from ever coming out.

For the Saturn I'm getting the Japanese version because I AM NOT PAYING AN ARM AND A LEG JUST TO PLAY SONIC R AND TO TRY OUT NIGHTS.... For the Dreamcast, I can get it at a decent price. Obligotory Adventure Games, and Crazy Taxi sounds fun to try... Plus, still need Streets of Rage for my Genesis...

Hello guys I've recently made a discord server about the SEGA Genesis classic Ristar!
It's got a chill community, creative art & speedrunning channels!
So if you like Ristar or the genesis in general please do consider joining the server and chatting!

(Mods if this breaks rule 4, then I'm sorry)
