Dreamcast: 25 years of blue skies in videogames...

[F-ZeroOne]

I'd give a lot for a "Skies of Arcadia" sequel.

I played it on the Gamecube but, yes, a sequel should be made. Great game!

Same, and same. Never picked it up when I had a DC, but got the Cube version. Fabulous game and a bit sad that it was a one-off.

It had its foibles - the random battles for one - but, boy did it just look... well, it almost literally was the poster child for "Blue Skies in Videogames"...

Now that is cool!

"Here's the first release," says the developer. "It is feature complete, 100% 60 FPS (at default video settings), music and sound, VMU save/load for settings and high scores (6 blocks required), full input remapping support for Dreamcast controller."

I read that as "games I can still play", since so many online games nowadays become lost media as soon as the servers go offline...

Also 25 years - the game that coined the term "blue skies in videogames" [1]:

[1] Okay, maybe not "coined", but it was probably one of the front-runners for the inspiration. And now someone from "UK Resistance" is going to show up and say, nah, they read it off a crisp packet or something...
