Dreamcast (burned disc, because this game was never released)
--
Propeller Arena -- default difficulty. This game is actually quite good, I can see why Sega canned it (9/11 and level 3), but it's really too bad. This game would have done well I think. Sure, it's limited in content, but it's got that classic Sega feel, and it's got great gameplay. The multiplayer is clearly the focus here, and with both 4-player splitscreen and online play, it had good multiplayer options. The graphics are fantastic, absolute top-flight Dreamcast graphics. The music is cheesy rock, and the characters are ridiculous... as I said, classic Sega stuff. So yeah, good game, I'll have to play again... I did great in the first three levels, winning all three easily (10 points per win, less per each lower place), but at normal difficulty and only 3 continues I only barely finished the game -- it gets quite hard in the later stages! I got only 19 points in the remaining 6 levels, after getting 30 in the first three, used all three credits, and just barely finished with the last one. Still, I did win on my first time playing, so it's not THAT hard... it sure was a lot of fun, though! I should have burned this a long time ago... oh well. I did now. :)
