Thanks for the review George. I’ve only ever played it multiplayer, which is utter chaos, so thanks for showing one of the solo modes. From what you tested I agree with your comments about it being a bit of a one trick pony.
i did actually give that a go ages ago mate but will have another look at it although i think for me halflife is about the keyboard and mouse although i did get used to quake on the DC with the joypad buttons for looking around but it was quite weird !
yes mate it really is i also love how in that game they have dreamcast consoles in place of their backpacks and are wandering around with keyboards instead of guns :-p i have that game on pc now and really like it, i would do a review but would have to add commentary after which always confuses me and i don’t like doing it but if i didn’t then all people would hear would be the insane rattling of my mechanical keyboard !

You should check out Bangai-O on the Dreamcast. It’s a frenetic shit-fizz shooter game.
Ikaruga is the real killer – change your ship to white and you can collect the white bullets instead of them damaging you. Same as for switching to black. Coordination of the colour to switch to is key to survival.
The treasure collection is also excellent if you haven’t tried it.

It was one of the games that got released about the same time as the unreleased half life did the rounds on the Dreamcast pir8 scene.
Try Tokyo bus driver for a real “wtfff”. You may need to learn Japanese
first though before playing as you keep losing points for all sorts of infringements e.g. not indicating, arriving late etc

i would imagine it’s a lot more fun on multiplayer mate yes but agreed it’s almost certainly pure chaos ! was it split screen or did you play online ?
Split screen matey. Unlike goldeneye, being able to see other people’s screens offers up absolutely no advantage whatsoever.
You should give the DC port of Half Life a go. It was ready to go and got binned at the last second.

I am pretty sure you can use the keyboard and mouse on dc halflife, I think it was one of few games I used the mouse with.
ah okay i never had the mouse i did have the keyboard though !
Typing of the dead is a bloody excellent game for the old Dreamcast keyboard.

Such a good game, probably the first modern bullet hell game I played.
