Surgical Strike - 32X

[classicgaming]

Hi Guys

My first post

Every Rarity list says that Surgical Strike for 32X was never released, but right now, I'm not sure

You can check the following picture:



I guess you can change your rarity database, since it's not a rumor mill anymore

Well, thank's for any additional information

No. I have this game. But it's loose. That's why I dont have more information.

I didn't have time to test it, but I will this weekend.

Um - is that the only disc that you have? Because it says on the disc that you'll need disc one in order to play it...

No. I have the "Key Disc 1".
Is the Sega-CD version.

Take a video of yourseld playing the game.

A video where you hold it, show it, place it in unit, etc.

A full description.

Otherwise, it will be hard to believe you.

I think it's a prototype because of the "key disc" text, the poor alignment of the 32X text, and the fact it has never surfaced before. I'm going to move this thread to the Prototype forum.

How about this: Since they were going to give away the 32X version to purchasers of the regular Sega CD version, maybe they wanted to prevent people from getting two games for the price of one and giving one copy away for free to someone else, hence requiring the original disc, "Key Disc 1". Who knows.

Where did to get this disc 2 from? (The first disc looks like a normal retail copy of the regular Sega CD version.)

[c2000]

That MPG doesn't work. Anyway why does the Sega-CD disc look so horribly misaligned? Urgh.

[coreys429]

Why Don't you post it on Youtube?

[Rev. Link]

Why does it say "Sega CD" on disc 1, but say "32X CD" on disc 2?

[DreamTR]

It could be a beta CDr that requires a key disc. Sega CD betas played without problem, but I don't know about 32X CD betas.

[Puff-puff]

Isn't Fahrenheit set up the same way? 1st disc is Sega CD & 2nd is 32X???

Puffy

Indeed.

[Cryomancer]

Why does it say "Sega CD" on disc 1, but say "32X CD" on disc 2?

As said above this post, that's how Fahrenheit works, too. Here, I took a pic of my copy:



Sega CD disc Says Disc 1 - Key Disc, 32x disc says Disc 2 - Insert Key Disc 1 First

Ok, I solved the mystery. The game WAS released, but it was mail order only.

In the back of the Sega CD Manual for Surgical Strike is a special offer to get a 32X CD version via mail order for $3.75 shipping and handling.

So yes, it was released, but it was mail order only.

Actually, I don't believe it was released. Those of us who sent in for the 32X version got a note and a refund back from Sega. As I recall, I either got a coupon for another game or a free game as well. I'll have to go through my stuff to tell for sure what they sent me instead.

[DreamTR]

Bojay, the guy that produced the game said it was completed, and talked about why the disks were mail-order only. (Production issues)

Not sure how many actually got out, but it's obvious that some did...

I've seen his website and I have no doubt that some were pressed (obviously an example is what started this post), but I know as someone who sent in the coupon and shipping and handling immediately after the game was released, Sega did not fill orders. If you have evidence that anyone actually got one mail order, I would love to see it.

[Vectorman0]

Of course, I can't find the website now. But when this topic first came up, I did some digging and found another account of someone sending in for it and not getting the 32X offer fulfilled, reaffirming what Bojay says.

Thanks for the back-up. I went through some of my old stuff today and it looks like they sent me Wirehead as an apology for not sending Surgical Strike. In retrospect, I think I was not happy about this because I already owned Wirehead and liked Surgical Strike better and really wanted a 32X version. I would love to hear from someone at Sega about why they couldn't have sent Surgical Strike out since we now have evidence that it in fact was complete and ready to ship. Maybe they didn't want to extend the support period for the 32X by continuing to release product for it? I don't know.

[Cryomancer]

Yeah, I have always heard that people didn't get any, they would send you another game instead.
