I live in the U.S. Can we work something out so that I can acquire a disc from you?

I'll get one sent, give me your address, it won't cost too much to send one to the states - Will it work on a US DC?

there was someone selling propeller arena on ebay about a year ago, it looked as ifit had come from sega developement. Not sure what happened to it though

Yeah i remember that auction.It was the guy who runs oldergames.com .He was trying to auction it off but neglected to tell would be bidders it needed a Sega Dev boot disk, which he was not selling with the disk because he needed it to boot his Half Life disk.All 3 disks were uncopyable.That guy is a rip off merchant.He pulled the auction when he was asked too many questions about the disk.

Just had a thought...what are you loading Half Life with? Utopia?

It's self bootable. (at least here in the US.) It's a pretty good game but I got bored with it fairly quickly. Maybe I'll give it another shot sometime.

i've had half-life on my dreamcast for a while now, and the uk version is self bootable. my copy is not a finished version, and so far i have found two faults, one quite major. the game saves seem to get bigge the more you save them, needing from 20 to 80 blocks. i had to get another vmu, simply for the purpose of saving half-life. i also think that when you die, and press continue from last save, it freezes. other than that, it is perfect. i got mycopy off carlito8 on ebay, and he seems to have the means to copy them, as i have seen him auctioning off 30 copies at a time.

Yeah, that's who I got mine from - I doubt he does batches of 30 - just copies to order.

That's why I'm quite happy to send a copy free to people, as I think, even at 3 quid, I was ripped off - Anyone have broadband & a p2p sharer?

My Half Life is self bootable.I haven't had any problems with saves yet but that will show up in time.Mine did crash once as i entered another room,I got a message saying it couldn't find a smoke texture,"Smoke texture can not be found A should be AO".
