Cryptic Allusion giveaway

~Click above picture for a high quality wallpaper image - sans the extra writing~ 
Ok this post is not directly Sega related news.  However, our good friends over at Cryptic Allusion, have requested - nay - pleaded, begged, got down on all fours and prayed, that we post this piece of news up (note: might be over exaggerating). 
No doubt some […]

Fans creating Sonic 2 in high definition

About a year ago, we saw this beautiful image of what Sonic 2 would look like in high definition, and it was glorious. At that time, it was nothing more than a fan mock up, but the guys at Racket Boy are hard at work to turn it into a reality.
The purpose of the S2HD […]

Help make Project Sega Mugen

Kori-Maru loves Sega’s Fighters Megamix. So much so that he decided to try and make a Sega cross over game of his own, using the Mugen engine. He wants Sega fans to contribute to his project.
Do you have any ideas? Or game making skills? This also means artists, for background work and sprites.
If you think you can […]

Cryptic Allusion talks ‘Dreamcast’ with The Escapist

Ok this interview was put up a good week ago, but it has only recently come to my attention, and I feel that it should be (relatively) interesting to many Dreamcast fans, and homebrew enthusiasts.
Our good friends at Cryptic Allusion, (whom we have interviewed in the past), recently spoke to The Escapist about their involvement […]

Now introducing… a new Dreamcast game!

[youtube width=”400″ height=”335″]kFtIxc-Ms9Y[/youtube]
And this time it’s not a crappy puzzle game (though they are fun), nor is it yet another scrolling shoot ‘em up, which may also be fun, but having about an endless stream of them released in the last few years, is a tad overkill.
As I say, it is none of these, it […]

Cryptic Allusion releases new Donk screens

Who cares if Sega has stopped production of GD-ROMS or won’t fix our Dreamcasts or Saturns anymore? You think that’s enough to stop the Dreamcast scene? Hell no!
Just take a look at the guys at Cryptic Allusion who are developing a new Dreamcast game as we speak. Some of you may remember back in April […]

Phantasy Star Online… Offline…then Online again?

 
For anyone that didn’t know, the European and Japanese servers for the highly popular Dreamcast title, Phantasy Star Online, were to be shut down, yesterday, on the 2nd April (2007).
But reports from fansite, Dreamcast-Scene, indicate that the servers were turned off- as they were meant to be- but then randomly went back online!  To much glee from the […]

Ecco II: Sentinels of the Universe surfaces

There are some cancelled Dreamcast games that we knew about and there had to be many that we didn’t. Add Ecco II: Sentinels of the Universe in the latter category.
In a recent eBay auction, seller Stingerhu posted an auction for a Dreamcast development kit that had a disc with the pre-alpha Ecco II code in […]

SaturnTV -Another promising Emulator

 
For years Saturn emulation was considered nigh-on impossible.  But of late we have seen reports of more and more working Saturn Emulators emerging.  Recently we posted a small article on a particuarly great Saturn Emulator, SSF, which while not perfect worked great with alot of titles and played multiregion - so I could finally play […]
