Dreamcast Roulette

[DANGERMAN]

I've mentioned this before, and it's one of the reasons my #GamerCred is so high, but I have over 110 physical Dreamcast games, and I should probably play them. So I've started a Youtube series that I'm going to try to stick to where I work through them, as they're selected by a roulette wheel. I'm not necessarily going to play through and complete the games, but an hours or so at least to have at least played all these games *

 

 

 

*there's a few games, like July, that I might have to skip if they're unplayable in Japanese. I've also hit a bump in the road where one of the games I drew doesn't boot, so that's an interesting wrinkle I need to sort 😅

Subbed!

Anyone who watched the 1st video will spot that this isn't the game the wheel landed on, I had some technical issues with it, but I've found a way around them now so I'll come back to that at some point

You only 2 episodes in how you break the rules already

I had to ensure I set people's expectations early

next episode is up

 

 

 

Trizeal, a shoot em up that came out after the Dreamcast was discontinued, and the first of those post-death games I remember playing and thinking... meh

 

It's not bad, but it doesn't stand out, and it's also not a game I hear people talk about, which is sort of a shame, but fully understandable

I remember liking it a lot and have fond memories of it, but there's a bunch of circumstances surrounding it that might have elevated it beyond what the game itself actually is. Came around shortly after I got my Dreamcast and discovered the genre, and it was also simultaneously my first import from Japan (I got the special edition with the bandana). So a lot of exciting 'firsts' – I want to believe I'd still enjoy it though, and IIRC the soundtrack had some stellar pieces.

It's not terrible. I think I'm still on the side of enjoying it more than I did at the time
