My Life With SEGA

My Life with SEGA puts the Dreamcast Dream Movie VCD player to the test

by

Thanks to the efforts of Derek Pascarella of backdrift.net and ‘Pasca Entertainment’, Andrew Rosa reviews the Dream Movie VCD & MP3 Player from Innovation for SEGA Dreamcast.

Yes, the Video CD format may be as dead as 8-track tapes and MiniDisc. Regardless, the Saturn and Dreamcast VCD peripherals are rare, expensive, and in high demand. Aside from their ‘collectible’ status, why are so many SEGA fans so anxious to watch VHS-quality video on their SEGA consoles?

We honestly have no idea, but if you’re curious to see how this dated format fares on Dreamcast, as well as how it compares to Saturn, you’ve come to the right place.

Do you own the Dream Movie hardware but your disc is damaged or missing? Download the CDI file and burn a replacement today! You’re welcome.

That’s right, SEGA fans! Andrew Rosa is finally reviewing one of the most sought after SEGA CD titles ever produced, Hideo Kojima’s Snatcher! The cyber-punk graphic adventure’s yet to see an English translation since its appearance on SEGA CD, and very few copies were produced, so there’s no denying that Snatcher‘s value to gamers and collectors alike is exceptionally high. Join Andrew as he examines Hideo Kojima’s sophomore effort.

My Life with SEGA: No Limits – Available now on SEGA Saturn & Dreamcast VCD! Update: Sold Out!

by

NoLimits_Advert-750x619

UPDATE: Even though they were free, we are marking this as “SOLD OUT” as our stock has been depleted! Don’t worry, we plan to have more produced by Christmas 2015 and if you still want to notify us by email that you are interested, please do so by contacting SEGAbits[at]gmail[dot]com with the subject line “No Limits VCD Rerelease” (you do not need to leave your address)

Last year, our YouTube series My Life with SEGA released the short film My Life with SEGA: No Limits, an action/comedy starring series host AJ and friend Mickey Mac who take on the evil Shawn who is hellbent on destroying SEGA HQ. With the release of the short film to YouTube also came the announcement that a VCD release was in the works, which would be playable on all VCD enabled devices including the SEGA Saturn (if you had the video card) and the Dreamcast (if you have the Dreammovie hardware). Not only was My Life with SEGA: No Limits on the disc, but also included was the first short film My Life with SEGA: The Next Level and reviews of Virtual-On and the Panzer Dragoon Saturn trilogy.

The release made its debut last summer at Too Many Games in Oaks, PA and while we gave several copies away… we still have some available! So how do you obtain a copy? Easy:

Want a copy of No Limits on VCD? Just email SEGAbits[at]gmail[dot]com with “No Limits VCD” in the subject line and your mailing address in the body. No purchase necessary.

Supplies are limited, so if you truly want a copy then act soon! After the break, check out the full short film as well as a download link for the special My Life with SEGA: No Limits “Sega CD Saturn” packaging we made (note: the movie will not play on the Sega CD, “Sega CD Saturn” is a cheeky nod to the short-lived “Sega CD 32X” library of games).

My Life with SEGA riddles us this in Batman Forever: The Arcade Game for SEGA Saturn

by

After the misfire that was Batman Forever on SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive, Acclaim tried to make amends with this arcade beat-’em-up developed by Iguana Entertainment of Turok: Dinosaur Hunter fame. That’s right, no platforming nonsense or Mortal Kombat theatrics. Just good old-fashioned ass whoopin’ in black rubber…. Wow! That sounds about as wrong as nipples on the bat suit, doesn’t it?

In any case, I’m here to help you solve the greatest riddle of all. The mother of all riddles: “Is Batman Forever: The Arcade Game worth playing?”
