Latest Dreamcast game launch!



Um, wtf is the title of this post?  Dreamcast?... as in... Sega Dreamcast sold from 1998-2001?  YUP, welcome to Rush Rush Rally Racing - to be released on the eve of Dreamcast's 10 year launch reunion in North America.

I have no idea what would inspire someone to actually try to publish a new game (illegally?) on a 10 year old, expired console.  According to the developers' site, "Rush Rush Rally Racing is an old school 2D racing game for SEGA Dreamcast. No sponsored cars, no realistic environments - just plain old fun!"  ... I got nothin'

The game is currently available for preorder at redspotgames online store,  however they warn:
     "This game is region-free: Runs on every PAL, NTSC-US and NTSC-J Dreamcast.
     This is a CD-ROM based product and might not be compatible with some NTSC-J
     Dreamcast™ consoles built after October 2000. Please check the manufacture date on
     the back of your console before."

... Good to know, I'll be sure to drag the dreamcast I never owned out of the closet to make sure I'm eligible to enjoy a game that can likely be dwarfed by something playable in a browser window.  Comments?

  3. WTF... why the hell would anybody make a game for a 10 year old system. Wouldn't it have been easier 9and more profitable) to release as a DLC game for XBLA, or PSN? I really dont wanna have to dig out my DC from the tomb... its probably filth and I dont even know if it still works...
