Pier Solar, incase you don't know, is a brand new from-the-ground-up RPG developed for the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive. It goes on sale December 24th of this year and will come in the form of a cartridge with a cd that when played together (with the sega cd) will greatly enhance the games sound track. I did a write up of it on my blog a couple months ago, you can find that at iheartyuna.wordpress.com/2008/04/02/pier-solar-brand-new-genesis-and-sega-cd-rpg/.

They have released the Beta Demo and it's pretty good. They also opened pre-orders, and it's only $35 shipped, which includes the cart, case, manual, sega cd soundtrack enhancer, plus other goodies. It will ship on the release date, so go preorder it and give yourself a new years gift at www.piersolar.com/

I like the idea that it's developed by homebrewers for an old console. That's quite an accomplishment.

I think it's more the novelty of having something *new* to play that's the point.... if I actually had time to play anything for more than about 30 seconds, I'd probably buy it. If nothing else, just to give a bit of support to the homebrew scene. It looks better quality than a lot of commercial games from the Genesis era.

yeah even though I said it wans't worth it in my eyes, I still agree with all you said.
