RAFFLE: Lords of Thunder US Version

[MNKyDeth]

This is for my 200 post anniversary here on the site. The site that has given so much to me in terms of information and even a game Buster Bros.

I will pay shipping to anyone in the lower 48 US and if you live outside this area and are willing to pay the shipping you may enter as well. You also must have a 200 post count or higher in celebration of my 200th post.

So... I happened across a better LoT than the one I have. It had a cd case and manual and no scratches.

So, I am giving away my LoT that has no manual, comes in a generic CD case and is nothing but the disc, with some scratches. It does play, and you can complete the game with it. But the audio will stop playing from time to time when it hits one of the bad spots.



I will draw a winner on Nov 9 2015.

Please post saying "I want to be entered" with at least a 200 post count and I will add you to the list.

Also, please don't sell it, if you are done with it, re-raffle it back to the community so others can enjoy it if you get bored or are done with it, or keep it forever.

Good Luck all !!!

You are entered Bernie, I think I buffed the hell out of it back when I got it in the late 90's like 96-98 era. I found it at a used game shop for $5 if I recall as non-working. I grabbed a cd-cleaner repair thing and went around on it for a couple hours.

It worked, I was happy, didn't care about the audio skips. Putting more time on it may help, who knows.

[JoshTurboTrollX]

Good luck to everyone!  Wicked awesome roffles from you kind sir!  This one is an excellent kick back to the community!! 

+2 TurbobberKarmack to all!!

[sn0zc0r3]

I just did a trade for Lords of Thunder so please don't add me, but good luck everyone! I'm so goddamn jazzed to play it when it gets to my place!

[grolt]

You are the man, MNKyDeth! Having played the SEGA CD version for the recent Game of the Week thread, I definitely want to play the TG-16 version - the way Hudson meant for it to be played.

So as they say..."I want to be entered"

[MNKyDeth]

You are entered Grolt. It is an amazing game, I have it for SegaCD as well and enjoy both versions. But my Duo always comes before the SegaCD if I have a choice in platforms.

[Bernie]

The Duo version is my choice as well.

Wow that's incredibly generous of you! Very cool. No need to enter me, I just wanted to give a giant thumbs up to MNKyDeth

[Psycho Punch]

Please sign me up. :_))))

[GohanX]

Please enter me! I got rid of this long ago, I really shouldn't have.

[cr8zykuban0]

Sign me up as well. Definitely a great shooter!

[o.pwuaioc]

I'd be a liar if I didn't say I want to be entered. Thanks for holding this!

[schweaty]

so in

[PCEngineHell]

I'm game, sure, why not. Count me in.

[VenomMacbeth]

Eww, no Lorde's of Thunder for me, thank you.  I'll stick with le Gate.

(Kudos for the raffle, though!)

[Dicer]

Enter me, dry or with lube, hell of a raffle...

[o.pwuaioc]

Eww, no Lorde's of Thunder for me, thank you.  I'll stick with le Gate.

(Kudos for the raffle, though!)

Gate's by and far the better game, no doubt. Lords still has its charm, though.

[blueraven]

Awesome game, awesome raffle!

LoT was the first game that made my eyes pop out in the era of 16-bit gaming. When I had my first Duo back in 1998 or so, I got a copy of LoT and it was one of 5 games (Riot Zone, Ys 1&2, Keith Courage, and Exile) that I had until I sold the system in 2002.

...I got it again in 2009 or so. From "ol' tin-can ass" in Robot Hell   (thanks again, man), and play it frequently.

so.. exclude me from this raffle, but good on ya for passing along a game that has served you for so long. it will go to good hands.

[wildfruit]

Please sign me up been wanting this for a while.
The game not being entered.

[chop5]

i want to be entered! this would be my first raffle entry over a sea of countless ones over the years





dang just checked my post count *walks away in shame*

[MNKyDeth]

lol I am glad we can have fun with that statement. "I want to be entered" lol

Tell you what chop5 all you need is two more posts. Isnt hard, just tell me your fav beer in the chat section and if you have played this game before or what you like about it.  Problem solved.

[thesteve]

Wow, chop short on posts,  that is impressive

[MNKyDeth]

I want to enter him...

But then I would break my rules and is that fair to everyone else?

C'mon chop5 ...

[GohanX]

Cmon chop, you can do two posts can't you?

[slinkyturd]

I want to be entered...in my ass, please.

[GohanX]

Vulgar.

[WoodyXP]

Sign me up purdy please.

[roflmao]

Chop transcends all post counts. He is a god among mere mortals.

[blueraven]

Can I give chop5 2 of my posts so he can enter?

[o.pwuaioc]

I want to enter him...

But then I would break my rules and is that fair to everyone else?

C'mon chop5 ...

It's your raffle, you can include someone who's been a member since 2006 if you want to or not. No one should complain about free stuff.

[Gentlegamer]

+1 million OBEY karma

[Groover]

Great raffle good luck to all.

[elderbroom]

I want to be entered

Would gladly cover shipping upto the great white north !

[GohanX]

Chop transcends all post counts. He is a god among mere mortals.

Truth!

[PCEngineHell]

In spite of Chops post count, he has done a ton here for this community. When I do my raffles, I let some lower post count people in on a case by case basis. Its your call, but if anyone deserves to be in it, it is Chops.

[MNKyDeth]

I did some digging, chop5 is in. Plus everyone vouching for him.

I wish I was around earlier to know better and know him more myself.

[martinine]

Awesome raffle! Good luck all. Had this for Sega CD back in the day.

[spenoza]

Innnnnnnnnterested, please.

Too many ns...

[NecroPhile]

Chops is such a nice guy, he refused my offer of modifying his post count to something north of 200.  I thought 2 million would've been funny.

[GohanX]

Just tell him you are including chat posts.

[blueraven]

If that were the indicator, he would be up there with teh 5-digit people.

[MNKyDeth]

Well, one more weekend and then the drawing. Hopefully everyone gets in that wants in.

[Marto_Jo-ing]

Great raffle! I can't wait till I have enough posts to praticipate in these. Cheers!!!

[MNKyDeth]

One more day till the raffle.

This is just a reminder.

[Phase]

please add me, so a can play the game for real.
my feka cd version is too easy and not turbo enough

[NightWolve]

Wow, chop short on posts,  that is impressive

His PCE chatroom posts ought to make up the difference.

Very generous of you MNKyDeth, TurboKarma++ for you, but as I already own a full copy of this game, I yield to the rest of my fellow PCE brothers and sisters. Good luck to the winnah!

Add me please.  I'm sure I could buff the disc.  Awesome waffle!

I saved a few movie DVDs this way. Well, partly. Best if you have the professional equipment, but it can be done.

For me, most of the time, a partly successful buffing job would just let me extract all the sectors with DVDecrypter, and then I could watch it on my PC, or burn a DVD-R for my player in my TV theater center. Getting the original playable itself without skips was tough though... The modern PC DVD drive will be able to extract CRC-checked sectors after a few read-retries with a decent enough DIY buff job, but that was about it for me.

I was too cheap to ever buy the professional equipment, so that's about as good as I could do myself. Just my trusty Makita drill and a $10 buff wheel from Home Depot is how I rolled.

Unfortunately, for CD redbook audio data, it's a different story, you'll never know if bytes are wrongly read as there are no CRC checks. The skips happen because the timing data in the 96-bytes of the subchannel data per sector are misread. The 2352 bytes for the audio sectors could get changed by a few bytes here and there, and you'd never know unless it caused a serious hiss or something. Well, you could use those websites that try to record CRCs of tracks from new/good CDs that work with audio software like EAC or whatever. But yeah.

[MNKyDeth]

Round and round we go, where she stops.... Nobody knows!!



Edit :

Main post has been updated with the winner!!

Congrats chop5!!
