Undeadline reissue

I think it’s cool that they do it, and I like BEEP too, but the price (€ 123 ex. shipping) is not a fair one. There will be 10% cost and 90% profit. Even for a cartridge game with higher production cost it would be excessive. Good profit for them I guess, and it’s their right, but not a price made with the customer and community in mind. Half that would still be expensive but at least more reasonable. If this is setting the trend for any further reissues, then I’ve lost interest already.

I can't disagree. But I still feel like this is BEEP taking all the risk and standing to reap very little reward for it, so again, I don't mind paying the premium. And if it helps, it does seem that Shin Maou Golvellius is a BIT cheaper than Undeadline, surprisingly! Not much, mind you, but it's a good 2,000 yen less expensive -- so maybe they're working toward smaller prices in the future? Maybe? Hopefully?

I've seen the X68000 Cotton selling for more than the original price. Price apparently includes collectors value built-in.

Personally, this is one of those weird trends in modern gaming that I'm not crazy about. Limited quantity everything, collector's edition reprints and everything made to be rare and a potential "investment opportunity". For the releases in the western world, half of them show up on eBay the next day for double the price.

They got me with Golvellius though. Fine, if you're going to do THAT game, then I'll bite. I like BEEP. I've bought X68000 RAM from them. This game cost about as much as the RAM though. At least it's going to a good place. Even if they reprint more of my favorite games though I'll probably stop myself from getting more. I like the finality of retro collecting. Once you're done, you're done.

Next re-print Is Compile's Golvellius
