MSR 'Hard Rock Cafe' promotion in Madrid, Spain

This promotion took place on 5 October 2000, about 1 month before retail release.  It seems the event used the pre-release 'Opel Challenge/Special Version'.

MSR T-Shirt found again!

Never thought I'd see this again!   The only time I ever saw this t-shirt in person was at Southampton Sega Park back in August/September 2001 (the guy wearing it went to play the Gun Survivor: Code Veronica coin-op after me...funny the things you remember!).  Never saw it again, not even a small thumbnail picture online.....until now!  Just over 20 years later, an Ebay seller is advertising one for £30.00....

The t-shirt is exactly as described by posters in an amusing exchange from the old 'uk.games.video.dreamcast' Usenet group back in late 2000:

"Hi,

I bought MSR today and got a cool MSR T shirt.

I really like it. It's got MSR on the front, the Dreamcast logo on the

sleeve, and a city skyline on the back.

I like the game too!"

Response 1:

"Be careful, that T shirt may have bugs in it.

You may find that the sleeve falls off. You can check with SEGA to see

if you have a T-Shirt from a bugged batch."

Response 2:

"And also receive a 'patch' for it." 😄

And in case you're wondering....no, I will not be buying it.  The size is XL and that's just way too big for me!
