[edit] Pronunciation

How is his name pronounced? 67.188.172.165 20:59, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

It's "RIST-ar" (as in "wrist"). Brittany Ka 03:08, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

I thought it was "Rye-star". 67.188.172.165 22:19, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

It's written in katakana as "リスター" (risutaa) Brittany Ka 03:08, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

I've always pronounced it "REE-star", and here's why. I called both the ESRB and Sega's game counselors back when Ristar was a new game. The pre-recorded ESRB message pronounced it "REE-star", and multiple live Sega game counselors pronounced it this way as well. (Yeah, there were Sega game counselors back in the day, not just Nintendo ones... I remember being angry at having to listen to a two-minute advertisement before even being placed on hold... and it was a long-distance call!) Anyway, my two cents. I guess all of those people could have all been wrong... I definitely am not confident enough to say that this is the "official" pronunciation, but I have heard it pronounced this way by multiple people, including people who worked for Sega. _{Doc Sigma} ^{(wait, what?)} 14:07, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

rye-star?!! There's no "ye" in there, retard! -lysdexia 01:22, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

That...was unnecessary. RedZion^X 06:18, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ristar Cluster

Does anyone know what happened to the Ristar Cluster fansite? It contained quite a treasure trove of information, but I can't seem to find it now. Alternately, does anyone know how to contact Djbrayster to find out what happened to it? Esn 03:32, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

It was an awesome website... They were even in the middle of uncovering more beta stuff. Maybe Djbrayster couldn't manage the site any longer? Someone should still pick it up, it had a lost of exclusive material on there. Actually, now that I think of it, wasn't it affiliated with Sonic CulT at one time? I'm sure if you were to ask around there, you can find out what happened. 208.101.152.167 17:48, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

http://forums.x-cult.org/index.php?showtopic=3678 - Yay, it's back! 208.101.138.72 (talk) 15:59, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Djbrayster (talk) 21:49, 1 May 2008 (UTC) Sorry for the delay in the site coming back. had some major issues offline which are still present and caused a delay in bringing the site back. It is really nice to know people really like the site. I am trying to keep up with updates and small site changes. thanks again.

[edit] ==Version Differences/Planets==

What happened to these 2 sections?!?

They were deleted by User:TTN. Good luck arguing with him about it. -- RattleMan 20:27, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

This article looks more barren than ever. 208.101.173.66 12:57, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ristar prototypes released

Some prototypes of Ristar for both versions have recently been unearthed and are in need of coverage. One interesting thing about it is that at one point in development he was known as Dexstar. — NES Boy (talk) 23:39, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
