IIRC, Star Wars Arcade was the pack-in game at or near launch. They later included Doom, and I think that even Virtua Fighter was a pack-in for a while. That being the case, it's likely that there are a lot of cart-only copies of those games floating around, as I doubt any of them came in their original retail packaging. Sega had gotten REALLY cheap by then.

I like img.bb. You can have it output any size you like. I usually change the first dimension to 500.

Huh, I guess that would explain it then. Makes sense that they'd be pushing Star Wars and DOOM as those titles have name recognition. I never even realized they did pack-ins for the 32X. Was there any difference in the 32X's packaging itself or was it just the same box and was advertised in store that it included the game?

But the issue is that I actually PAY to have the pro account or whatever they call it, and I've already got a TON of images uploaded to the site. Photobucket gets more busted with every passing year. I can't even scale it within PB after uploading anymore (their interface is broken). I have to do it in photoshop BEFORE uploading.

I vote with my wallet. If they suck, let them know that you are unhappy. Maybe they need to know this is unacceptable.
