Do you know what Rent-A-Hero is? Did you know the original was released on the Megadrive in 1991? This game was only released in Japan ony. But when Sega went 3rd party, there was a deal to bring Rent-A-Hero No.1 to the USA (Xbox version). It was suppose to be published by AIA USA, Ltd (now out of business).
Rent-A-Hero No.1 was first released on the Dreamcast, then later ported to the Xbox. Its not a sequel to the original Megadrive version, but a remake. The Xbox version was suppose to be released in the United States, it was even reviewed by US magazine Game Pro.
The lead character, named Taro Yamada has been featured in Sega’s fighting mash up Fighters Megamix on the Sega Saturn. Segata Sanshiro even makes a cameo appearance in the game, if this isn’t reason enough to play it, I don’t know what is.
Apparently Rent-A-Hero No.1 (USA version) has been popping up on torrent sites. People have downloaded it and confirmed its the full release.

Shenmue Campaign steps it up a notch - but will it work?

Along with their new site design the guys behind Shenmue Campaign have decided to step up their attempts to get Sega to release Shenmue III and complete the saga. Something that pretty much all Sega Nerds want.
Rather than just getting people to sign a petition, which most sites do, Shenmue Campaign is asking every Shenmue fan to write letters, emails, one line sentences to them, and they will send them all off to Sega Japan - in a bid to show that fans still want the game.
