Beta Build of 'Lunar Lander X-Treme' discovered on old dev kit

Epic find this week! Came across a dev kit for the Dreamcast in a relative's attic. Booted it up and found a beta build for 'Lunar Lander X-Treme'!!! Game was announced at E3 1999 but got canned before release. It's pretty buggy but it's a slice of gaming history. Will try to dump the files for preservation.

This is huge for the modding community! Could you imagine the mods that could come out of this?! Keep us updated on the progress of the dump and if you hit any snags. I'm sure there are plenty of us that would be willing to lend a hand to see this project through.

Whoa, that's epic! 'Lunar Lander X-Treme' was one of those games that just vanished after the hype. Very curious about the gameplay, the features it included, and what led to its cancellation. Share whatever you can – screenshots, videos, anything. This is important history!

Bet that dev kit is a treasure trove for Dreamcast enthusiasts. If you need any advice on dumping the game, feel free to DM me. Also, consider documenting the entire process, including the state of the dev kit - it could be invaluable info for gaming historians.

Great, another buggy, unfinished mess from the 90s. Why do people even obsess over these relics? It's like trying to fix a sandwich that's been left out for 20 years. Just play a good game instead.

Super cool find! When dumping, be careful of the fragility of the dev kit's storage media. Try to make an image of the disc directly without running it too much to avoid data loss. Hope you manage to preserve this unreleased gem!

That's seriously amazing!! 😲 Lunar Lander X-Treme is like a holy grail of lost Dreamcast games! Have you noticed any major differences compared to the early trailers/screenshots that were released? Also might want to hit up @DreamcastPreservationProject on Twitter, they could help with the file dump and ensure it gets preserved properly!
