Burning Fists: Force Striker will premiere at the upcoming
CinciClassic this April 8th.
Sweet, I'll try give some hands on impressions when I get back.

Come on. Let's move on folks. Let this old shit rot like it's been doing for over a decade.
-
This is an old game that Sega never released, right? Is it even legal?

I don't know who produced it originally, but generally GDG buys licenses of unreleased products, so I would think it would be legal.
-
The only reference to Sega I see is "Not affiliated with or endorsed by Sega Enterprises."

That's the fugliest game I've ever seen, right up there with eternal champions.

WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO GIVE THESE PEOPLE THIRTY-FIVE DOLLARS FOR THIS?
These classic system release projects are kinda cool when people aren't under the pretense that people would want to pay for this crap. This doesn't look any different than the crap 1992 gave us with the generic Street Fighter II clones.
Like that Penn and Teller game for Sega CD that was just released. It wasn't marketed, it was sensibly torrented.
-
I'd rather buy 5 copies of this than one copy of Gorf Classic.

Now I remember where I know the game from. There was a post at the digitpress forums last year where someone had a beta of it and sold it to GDG.

Since when is Captain Planet a boxer?

"Your Trick is Sharp as a Noted Blade" - Well, that's about the extent of my interest in this.

It looks like they took shitty 16-bit graphics and ran them through the Super Eagle rendering engine.
Eew.
*looks closer*
Were those first few shots from an emulator?

I don't think it is an old game that Sega never released.
I've never heard of it before.
It seems to be a new game, perhaps homebrew or 'indie'.
could be wrong though.
-
I'd buy it but dunno for 35 dollars, gives me a reason to hook up my SCD and play something new.

There is a 1994 Sega copyright on the title screen of the beta version that Adol guy had.

Burning Fists was an in-house project for Sega of Japan that originally started under the name Force Striker. The picture to the right is that of the original beta copy of the game. Both the Force Striker alpha and the Burning Fists beta were auctioned on eBay by an individual who obtained them from a former Sega of Japan employee. These are the only known official copies of the game in existence, as it was never released.
I'd like to know how this is legal.
-
Maybe they bought the rights from SEGA?
What SEGA dev team made this, a bunch of interns?

Perhaps any existing copyright only covers distribution in Japan, or maybe the copyright lapsed?

WTF?
A horse, in a city, with a grey tail, ridden by a guy in flip flops and a kung fu uniforms, with a rope up his ass, connected to a kite with Captain Falcon on it. Right.

I only bring the issue up because their last game was a complete rip-off of Chu-Chu Rocket.

Seems like a shady company.

I'm still waiting for EA's "The Simpsons: Apu Apu Rocket"

Sounds like a good reason to get the game to me.
