Irides: Master of Blocks
Publisher: GOAT Store Publishing
Developer: Mad Peet
Genre: Puzzle
Release Date: 12/12/2009
Here we are, halfway through the first month of 2010 and I’m STILL reviewing new Dreamcast games released in 2009. What a great year for the Dreamcast it was. First we had Dux, then we had Last Hope: Pink Bullets and Rush Rush Rally [...]
Rent-A-Hero No. 1
Genre: Action/Adventure
Developer: SEGA
Publisher: SEGA
Release Date: 05/25/2000
It’s no secret that when it came to SEGA’s systems, the U.S. got boned on a ton of the company’s obscure and unique game titles. One of the company’s offerings that has a solid fanbase was the Rent A Hero franchise. It even, made an appearance in [...]
Vampire Chronicle for Matching Service
Publisher: Capcom
Developer: Capcom
Genre: 2-D Fighter
Release Date: 08/10/2000
I remember that this was a college graduation gift to myself via the Dreamcast Direct mail order site. After all, Darkstalkers was my favourite fighting game series and now for the first time EVER, you could play a fighting game over the Internet. Sure [...]
ILLBLEED
Genre: Horror
Developer: Crazy Games
Publisher: SEGA
Release Date: 04/16/2001
As part of our feature that looks back at the games that where on the Dreamcast, it would be almost criminal to ignore one of the worst games that was almost one of the best games available for the system.
Illbleed is a survival horror game, and it’s considered a [...]
Arguably seen as the last console to give light guns a chance, the Dreamcast had its share of rail shooting titles that made use of the various console pistols that were available for it. A lot of these favors were due to the fact SEGA [...]
Dance Dance Revolution Club Version Dreamcast
Genre: Rhythm
Developer: Konami Computer Entertainment Japan
Pubilsher: Konami
Release Date: 04/27/2000
Even with the popularity of Dance Dance Revolution in the U.S. (which, admittedly, has been on an alarming nose dive since the birth of Guitar Hero), it’s guaranteed we will never see a domestic version of the Club Version series. The [...]
Giga Wing 2
Developer: Takumi
Publisher: Capcom
Genre: Shoot ‘Em Up
Release Date: 05/06/01
Sequels can either be good or bad for the series in question. A good sequel contains all the aspects that made the first game enjoyable and improve on them. It also contains some new features so that the second game will not feel like a [...]
Zombie Revenge
Genre: Beat ‘Em Up
Developer: SEGA
Publisher: SEGA
Release Date: 12/31/1999
At one time, The House of the Dead was a hot franchise for SEGA. One could argue another spark has been ignited with moderate success of The House of the Dead: Overkill, but at one time, arcade entries of The House of the Dead were critical [...]
NFL2K1
System: Dreamcast
Developer: Visual Concepts
Publisher: Sega
Released: 09/07/2000
Sega’s NFL franchise is the sad tale of a plucky youngster, full of hope and optimism, having victory snatched from it’s grasp by the
wizened veterans over at EA. As they say, age and treachery beats youth and enthusiasm every time. But I’m not here to rehash what has [...]
Skies of Arcadia
Developer: Overworks
Publisher: Sega
Genre: Turn Based RPG
Release Date: 11/13/2000
I’ve already talked about Grandia II earlier in the month. I have past experience with Grandia, and it’s hard to believe that it didn’t come out more than nine years ago with as wistfully as I talked about it. “Wow, I remember playing Grandia II, way [...]
Stupid Invaders
Genre: Adventure
Developer: Xilam
Publisher: Ubisoft
Release Date: 06/28/01
Thinking back to 2001, I recall the two final brand new Dreamcast titles I bought from retail were Confidential Mission, and this downright bizarre point-and-click adventure game from Xilam. It wasn’t by chance, really, as if you were a child of the late ‘90s, you may per chance [...]
