DREAMCAST LIVES!
Sega are reviving the Dreamcast brand by releasing a four in one Dreamcast game pack for PC and Xbox Live Arcade.
With their immense back catalogue we’re sure to be in for quite a treat.
Daytona?
Sega Rally 2?
Shenmue?
Jet Set Radio?
No!
Instead, they’ve opted for:
Stupid Bass Fishing
Space Channel 5 Part 2
Sonic Adventure
Crazy shitting Taxi
Apparently, they’re ‘visually enhanced’
They might even make it so you can’t fall through the floor in Sonic Adventure.
Also, two of these are already available on Xbox Live Arcade, which is certain to please anyone who’s previously purchased them.
Here’s a video of Michael Jackson in Space Channel 5 Part 2
Thinking back, Space Channel 5 wasn’t actually that good.

Well think again.

Space Channel 5 was at it’s best after you played it, as you ended up dancing around places like a fool for the next week or so. Never got round to hunting down the second one though, so I’ll probably buy this ‘collection’ and file off all the parts that aren’t Space Channel 5.2.

The Sega Niche Collection.

Space Channel 5 certainly looks awesome but is just basically a few hours worth of rhythm action game.
I know we’re all generally baffled by their continuing non-re-release of Shenmue and Jet Set Radio (how about finally releasing propellor arena now?) but isn’t it typically Sega-odd that they’ve chose to release Space Channel 5 part 2 but not the first one?
Quite useful actually as they made (at a guess) about 5 copies of the second game.

I really disliked Crazy Taxi.
If I cared about being constantly pressed for time, unrealistic deadlines and a never-ending stream of ultimately unachievable goals I’d have a go at doing some work instead of clock watching and idling on UKR.

Wow, a game to look forward to! Shame of shames, I haven’t played Space Channel 5 part 2 yet. Best way to drag out the DC’s life span if you ask me (not playing the best games for it ages after everyone Else’s DC is in Cash Converters, I mean). Bet my PC won’t be able to run it.
Do you really want to play Sega Rally 2 again? I can’t be the only person who would rather be playing Sega Rally on their Saturn instead? Then again, Sega Rally is pretty much perfect, so the sequel was always going to be slightly disappointing.

Space Channel 5 was ultimate SEGA. That’s official policy going forwards. And whatever happened to Daytona USA HD? Did it come out?

feck that if you want to play Dreamcast games get a Dreamcast and a VGA cable. Looks beautiful on HDTV.

Shenmue was ultimate Sega. Space Channel 5 was some shit that only Dreamcast magazines liked. Just like Rez, the most pointless game ever created, adored by 2% of the DC userbase. More people have died from swine flu this year (2011) than enjoyed either.
Actually, Shenmue was more like Sega’s love letter/suicide note.

Three of the least interesting DC games for me, although I had a passing interest in Bass Fishing.
CT minus the licensed shops & Bad Religion/The Offspring is just not worth buying.

If these are the same versions that were released on Xbox Live Arcade, Bollocks are they enhanced.
Crazy Taxi has not aged gracefully when you play it on a 1080p telly.

I loved Rez… so much so I bought the Live HD version on day one.
January 16th, 2011 on 12:17 pm
Hey, I love Rez too, another day 1 purchase.
Well, that’s 2 of us now, that’s possibly not far from Dick’s estimate of it only being loved by 2% of Dreamcast users…

Have you really bought an air rifle for hunting Zorg? Maybe you should test it out on yourself, you know, get an idea of how it feels to be shot by a fucking idiot.
January 16th, 2011 on 2:22 pm
We shoot rabbits and pheasants that wander into our garden. Then eat them. It’s not stupid posh person hunting for something to do, it’s actual enjoyable shooting that has a purpose. If you have a problem with that you ought to look into where ASDA sources its meat for those microwave chicken kievs of yours.

Or you could both become vegetarians like me. Ner ner, My self-righteous high horse is the highest!
(Weirdly, I actually have a sort of grudging respect for people prepared to kill their own food. In my opinion, if you’re not prepared to kill it and gut it but you are prepared to eat it, then you can shut the fuck up. Your opinion counts for nothing. I think everyone who wants to eat meat should consider going hunting for food at least once in their lives)

I would’ve thought you’d be more of a shotgun/rifle man than air rifle.
.177, .20 or .22?
I don’t kill my own food but try to shop ethically. Vegetarian wife doesn’t mind cooking meat for the family as long as the animal had a decent free ranging life and I’ve not got a problem with vegetarian meals anyway. Don’t have to have meat with every meal…
As for the interest in getting shot with an air rifle, it stings from what I recall. Had a lunatic friend with a .177 who’d lie out in wait at the bottom of the garden and shoot you in the back of the head/back/arms/legs when you knocked on his door. With pointy pellets that hurt more. Don’t remember what my old .22 was like now. Good enough to take down a rat, anyway. Never aimed it at anything larger.

The Space Channel 5 series was the best thing Sega ever put their name to (along with Outrun 2). And for those who only played the original, the sequel’s an order or magnitude better, with a lot more game to it. Looking forward to this, but really, a bundle-only deal when half the games are already on xbla? Fuck’s sake, Sega.

Anyone else think Zombie revenge should be on this list, nah, me niether. BULLETS.
