I'm trying to lay my hands on a copy of Gauntlet Legends for my
Dreamcast, but the retailers I have nearby don't have any copies, and I
can't find any online retailers who have it either. Anyone know why this
game is in such short supply?

1) It's very old
2) Dreamcast is being phased out, so retailers are likely to carry
only new games
3) Midway is dropping Dreamcast support

There are plenty for sale on ebay.

Ask if their "backups" before you bid on them on ebay. I got burned
once already and ended up with copies of Jet Grind Radio and Virtua
Tennis. The ass wouldn't take them back and give me back my money
either.

Oh well, did set up the situation of me giving the JGR copy to my 12
year old brother-in-law and getting a call from him asking why
everything is in Japanese :) I had fun with that for a good 10 mins.

Midway doesn't sell direct to the public, at least not from what I could
find.

Instead, Midway links to other online resellers, online one of who
continues to sell the disc -- Amazon.com. The others are either out of
stock or no longer carry it. :\

Thanks to all who responded. Finally found it at a local merchant who
just got a mess of titles in; paid more for it than I would have online,
but didn't pay shipping fees and got it instantly, so I guess that's
something. :)
