Giga Wing 2, Mars Matrix US DC ?????

[fuzzybee]

Am i missing something as i have the Japanese versions of Giga Wing 2 and Mars Matrix for the Dreamcast but someone on ebay is selling US versions.
I was about to bid on GW2 but somethings telling me they are not legitimate considering the seller proclaims all dreamcasts are region free.

That guys got really good feedback and I think I've dealt with him before. I think he just means you can use it with a boot disc!

Both games had US releases, but the claim that these will work on any DC does seem a bit suspect - someone who owns them will be along shortly no doubt

EDIT - good point made by Geezer about the boot disc thing though

[steve_dynamic]

Just ask him whether they are copies or not. If you get no reply, assume they are copies.

[Geezer]

Thing is, I'm sure that they are original and he means you can use boot discs. The reason he hasn't mentioned boot discs is that a lot of auctions get pulled for mentioning boot discs and action replay etc. The knobs at eBay can't see past the fact that some of us just want to play imports and not copies

It's a good point you have made Geezer and probably the right one judging by the sellers feedback, i have e-mailed the seller regarding the "all DC are region free" comment, i'll let you all know what he says if he replies

[fuzzybee]

He has replied with the following e-mail (my question is below)

Yup they are originals, and yes all DC;s are in fact region free.

Thanks,

Lee

He still claims all dreamcasts are region free so despite is large feedback i won't be bidding on his items.
