    They opted to release single game packs though to emulate individual games instead of of the original game "PACKS" that would emulate many games.

    I believe they released bleemcast for

    Gran Turismo 2
    Metal Gear Solid
    Tekken 3

    And then yes, it happened. Sony sued them out of existance.
    The last incarnation of the bleem website had this image up for a few days.

    Maybe i should have been more specific, It was next to impossible to even find the one pack bleem disks, besides using ebay. No retailer had them in stock.

      I suppose it depends on where you live. Many of my local retailers carried the discs for some time.

      As for PDTP, it is vaporware because bascule is too busy thinking up the "big ideas" to get any real work done, right?

        Mostly because I'm too busy to advance the codebase

            Actually I'm just working for a startup which is eating up most of my time...

                Absolutely. I've been watching Moller's progress with the M400 for over a decade. If he ever gets that thing in production, I'd sell my soul* to buy one.

                  E-bay it, Thorn ;)
                  I can just see the salesblurb on this one :

                  One time offer only. Will settle for cash, but prefer straight swap for a M400.
                  And for the record Thorn, even without a soul, you would still be one heck of a nice guy, whom I'm proud of calling a friend.

                      You can't forget Team Fortress 2, also. I mean, Duke Nukem is vapor too, of course. But I actually expected Team Fortress 2 to come out.

                        I am still waiting for a delicious butter substitute at half the fat content. Damn you Fabio and your "I cant believe its not butter."

                          Now I wish I would've voted XANADU, and I'm surprised nobody but astcell did. C'mon, 45 years in the making and still nothing substantive to show for it... if that isn't vaporware I don't know what is.

                              XANADU.... heh and all this time I thought we were talking about The Movie

                              What ever happened to The Phantom ?
                              If I had a nickle for every time someone offered me ten cents to keep my two cents to myself... I would be a rich man.

                                I can't believe we've gone this far without mentioning the FuFme. I mean, really. Those teases.
