I was thinking of getting either the domestic DC version or the import GC version. Does anyone have any comments on these releases? I played this game in an arcade at college yesterday and I had a good time, but it's munching my quarters like a bitch and I want to be able to practice it a little. Seems like a really great diversion.

Good to see someone else likes that game-

I played it for the first time a few years ago at an arcade on Catalina -put in at least $10 over a period of 3 days. Very addicting.

I've only played the WSC and GBC ports of it (never played the original). The WSC port is a solid game IMO, but the domestic DC is probably easy to find and cheap.

I opted for the Dreamcast version myself. What all systems was it released for domestically besides the DC and PSX?

Yeah I was just reading up on it and it sounds like people really like the import GC version. That's the one you mean right? It sounds like it has the most options.

the DC version is one player only,
which i thought was a detractor from the game.
i believe the gc or the gba mr driller games are 2 players though.
cant be totally sure though since they arent part of my collection.

DC version + seaman mic. Compete for score and it's one of the best party games ever.

Mr. Driller ownz plain and simple, he's super pimp. I use to play loads of it on the Dreamcast and had no idea a Gamecube version was ever released. Anyone here know where I could score a Mr. Driller PCB?
