It seems my order information may have been misplaced. Anyhow I e-mailed Rene and he will send me out a Limited edition copy right away.
I did wait a long time before i fired off an e-mail, as I knew it would be some weeks before everybody received their copies, as it's probably just Rene alone in some room somewhere swamped in envelopes and copies of the ghost blade...(at least that's what I imagine)

I wonder which will arrive first, my new dreamcast, its minty white as new apparently, or the Ghost blade.

Finally got my copy, even though I never got a confirmation e-mail. Well, it's a very cool game and a lot of fun. Sadly myself and a friend completed it after a few attempts. Perhaps it will be a tad more difficult in one player mode.
I don't see any Hard difficulty setting. Why on earth not? Unless the hard mode only opens up after the game is completed in normal mode in single-player only?

I might have played in hard mode as there is little enough re-playability as it is. The three ships are distinct and do effect how the game plays depending on which one you choose.
It's a cool game but I'm left wanting more.

Weirdly ghost blade worked just fine for the whole first evening I had it. Now it won't even spin in the drive. The dc says "please insert game disc". So I turn off the dc and load a gd rom or other cdr. Then turn it off again and put the ghost blade back in and the ghost blade starts to load.

I cannot get it to work any other way. It's a new dreamcast I just bought. Is this the fucking laser calibration shit again? I'm having absolutely fuck all luck with dreamcasts and games recently.

I think my new dc needs recalibrating. I'm gonna take it to a repair shop and get it tweaked.
Ghost blade is great btw. I'm thoroughly addicted.
It's easy in two player mode but poses more of a challenge in single player mode.
I just hope there is a hard mode.

Beat it on normal mode. The last level is mental bullet hell. Good stuff.
I'll play it a few more times.
An outro sequence of some kind would have been nice.

I could see it happening as I did not get clear responses to my e-mails. Yup, I got sent a second limited edition copy, I now have two.
Even though I e-mailed him twice, it was all in the same e-mail thread yet his responses indicated that he thought he was talking to two different people.
A part of me thinks that I should send it back if he covers the postage or something.
