Yep..looks like another Sapphire raffle! (NOW WITH MORE WINNING GOODNESS)

[jperryss]

Hi all! I've been waiting for the other Sapphire raffles to die out before I put this one up.

I have TWO Sapphire boots from Blue that will be going to two lucky forum members. I can't remember why some of these were more "blue-ish" than others, but I have one of each here.

Now the rules (partially stolen from other raffle listings here):
-75 post minimum on this forum AND a member for at least 30 days.
-If you have won a previous Sapphire raffle, you are not qualified to enter this one.
-By entering this raffle, you promise that if you decide to part with this down the road, you will either re-raffle it on these boards or donate it to a good friend that will not run to eBay with it.
-The discs will be shipped free within CONUS. International winners must cover the additional shipping costs.
-Winners will be selected at random on 8/8.
-Just post in this thread if you would like to be entered in this raffle. I will do the number thing in this post that seemed to work well in previous raffles.

Good luck!

Dam its another early xmas for 2 lucky people. Sapphire is a MUST have game.

I don't need it I have my own. But your Turbo Karma is growing kind sir.

[tpivette]

Very kind of you sir. Sign me up please!

I assume you need the Arcade card to play the bootleg as well?

[bartre]

you do, though that would be quite the feat.
i wonder if that's possible.

on a related note, good on ya for the raffle, every turbo owner should have a bootie of this game.

[Deletion]

jperryss, thanks for another opportunity to score these Sapphire boots. Please enter me in the raffle.

[TR0N]

Sign me up please sapphire is a gem of a shooter for the pce.

Too bad I'm a rookie and don't have an arcade card. +1 to JPerry and good luck to everyone.

Correct me if I'm wrong. If I understand correctly, this bootlegs were made back in the day using the same process as the originals, so they won't cause any extra stress on the laser.

I think you're right but I'm not 100% sure, maybe someone else knows. The original BlueBMW thread explained it but I'm too busy to look it up right now.

BTW, I lowered the minimum post count to 75 for this raffle.

[Nazi NecroPhile]

+2 TurbobKarma for giving away a great shewty.

Right.  It's a normal pressed cd (not a cdr) and doesn't cause any more blazing lazer stress than any other game.

[CrackTiger]

These bootlegs were definitely NOT made bitd.

[jperryss]

These bootlegs were definitely NOT made bitd.

These discs are stamped CARE4DATA. Weren't they made at the same time as the counterfeits, maybe early 2000s? Yes I know the game came out in like 1995.

Either way...As I understand it these are pressed discs, not burns, so anyone who is deathly afraid of using CDRs in their system need not worry.

Well you've got a week. Get going! 

[reno5]

Even if i get the post i won't have the 30 days

Oh well next time. That will also give me the time to get an arcade card ;)

[c0ldb33r]

Very generous - I just won a Sapphire repro, so don't include me, but I wanted to say thanks for the raffle

The colours on the two bootlegs are very different - how come?

[jperryss]

Honestly I can't remember the reason for the color difference, but I'm pretty sure the answer is somewhere in the original thread.

[PCEngineHell]

Add me.
