ongratulations on buying Issue 2 of the Official Sega Dreamcast Magazine. You’ve made the right choice. And if you’ve already bought your Dreamcast, you’ve made the right choice twice. Good call. You’re not alone. According to Sega, by the time you read this, there will be over 350,000 Dreamcasts in American homes. And by the time you finish reading this, there will be another few hundred more, and by the time you finish reading this magazine... well, you get the idea. This thing is going to be big. Every week, more exciting new games are announced, and the release list swells. This issue alone, we feature more than fifty new Dreamcast titles, and review over twenty more. Games like Namco’s incredible Soul Calibur (reviewed on page 92) and Sega’s own Shenmue raise a sly middle finger to the aging 32bit competition (and even their much-vaunted successors) and then poke them squarely in the eye with it. The Dreamcast bullet-train has left the station and is accelerating toward the millennium at a speed that would leave William Shatner fumbling to keep his rug within transporter range. Readers of this magazine are ensured a seat in First Class, so put your feet up and enjoy the ride. As you can see, there’s even a pool...
