Bang! Gunship Elite Sega Dreamcast: version 1
Saved 2026-09-25 04:15 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added the North American Sega Dreamcast release of Bang! Gunship Elite (UPC 008888260202, model T-44102N). It came from wanted row 0000888826020, which I skipped: that number is the same UPC with its digits shifted by one position, and it appears only in one 2018 eBay listing. Sources: the Amazon.com listing B00004SVLW (UPC, model number, ESRB rating, dimensions, manufacturer Ubisoft), Wikipedia (developer RayLand, publisher Red Storm Entertainment, release dates, reception), the Dreamcast Junkyard retrospective (released only in North America, the studio's history), upcitemdb (a sealed copy on eBay) and Wikipedia for the Red Storm and Ubisoft stubs. New stubs: brand/red-storm-entertainment, company/red-storm-entertainment, company/rayland-interactive and company/ubisoft. Open gaps: no licensed cover photo, Amazon and Wikipedia give release dates one day apart, and the length of the 008888 prefix is unknown, so it is not written to Ubisoft.. This is the current version.
