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,…

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…

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.

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…

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.
