Well this is the final week of the year 2000's 3rd quarter. Which means
the games are really going to start rolling in now, and details of next
years hits should start leaking out. Suitably, heading the news this
week is an online racer, Daytona 500. Then Shenmue 3 (yes 3!) is in the
rumors section, and further news includes a free video with Tokyo
Xtreme Racer 2.

Yesterday I was surprised to see another site printing details of how
Sega is in so much trouble they gave Acclaim the job of making
Playstation 2 version of games like Crazy Taxi. This was proved to be
nothing more than a rumor ages ago, and Sega are working their way back
in terms of profit these days. Still an extra boost couldn't hurt could
it? In this weeks cover feature we look at the idea of developing titles
for the handheld Gameboy Advance.

Last, but certainly not least I'd like to welcome a brand new gaming
website to our family of support sites... Game Ireland (now online at
http://www.game-ireland.com). Plus Sega 2000 has some exclusive details
of Worldwide Soccer 2001. Is that a woman on the pitch? <img src='http://dchelp.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> 

Until next time (wait until you see our rumors page tomorrow in
Dreamcast Weekly Extra!) remember, The Game Is Never Over!

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Sega &amp; Gameboy Advance: Worth Thinking About...
     -- Written by Tails

It's long been a gamers fantasy to see Mario &amp; Sonic duke it out on the
same platform, but naturally we all know Sega &amp; Nintendo are in direct
competition with each other, and would never take such an idea seriously.

This year as Sega split off their AM departments however, the developers
obtained the freedom, if they wanted, to program for other consoles. But
Sega still being a major share holder in them all, and the AM groups
having grown rather attached to their parent, why would they? This
loyalty has been confirmed after being asked the question in every
recent interview, "Would you ever consider developing for the
Playstation or Nintendo?". The response being they could if they wished
to, but there's very little chance of that as they are more than happy
with Sega.

So is Sega still keeping away from other consoles? Or are they getting
softer? Well as a wise talking-fish (Seaman, who else?) once said when
questioned about Playstation, "Did you know that you can catch all
kinds of diseases from playing with that?" But when asked about the
Nintendo Dolphin (now called Game-Cube), he said how he's looking
forward to seeing how the hardware turns out.

After all Sega and Nintendo aren't really that different. Nothing
compared to what Sony is like in the gaming industry. So could the
Nintendo Game-Cube be in the future of Sega? haha, no. Why would Sega
develop for a company they are in direct competition with, even if they
are similar? But the Gameboy Advance however... that might be a
different story.

Sega's portable console, the Game Gear, which the Gameboy Advance
actually looks very similar too, was finished with many a-generation-
ago. And the 2D games of the GBA are hardly going to compete with the
128-bit polygon monsters on the Dreamcast are they? I for one would
like to see Sega games appear on the GBA, even if they are nothing more
than Genesis conversions, and I can think of several reasons why it
would help us Dreamcast gamers.

The first reason being the most obvious, profit. It's no secret Sega are
having money trouble. While the Dreamcast is helping, letting their AM
departments go is a clear sign they aren't out of the woods yet. Things
aren't quite as bad as internet rumors and Playstation message boards
would suggest, Sega pulling their arcade units out of Europe for
example. But the more money for Sega the better, don't you agree? The
GBA might well be the best way for them to get ahead faster in the
industry without a high risk, and doing what Sega does best... Not in
an Internet company, but with games.

Also given the smaller budget required to develop a GBA title, and in
particular if they are based on ports of old Genesis games and don't
require many people, programming shouldn't take too many resources away
from Dreamcast development.

The final reason is it's brilliant advertising for the Dreamcast. If
people like Ecco on the Gameboy Advance, they would be very interested
to see Ecco on the Dreamcast right? Right. It could be the perfect way
to get those who wouldn't normally try a Sega game to give one a go.
Perhaps Sega could slip a few sublimable adverts into the game too...
or not.

Why Sega haven't produced Gameboy titles in the past is perhaps it's
just never been seriously considered. You have to admit it's a pretty
different idea. But as Sega works there way back into the yearly
profits, certainly they could use a boost like extra software sales.
In fact the only negative impact I can see this having is the rumors
that will spread of Sega being so desperate they are turning into a
3rd party. But we'll see who's laughing when Sega returns to the
financial stability they had back in the Genesis days.

Worth thinking about...

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Daytona 500 - Online Racing

In an interview with Gamers Republic, Lynn MacConnell, Chief Technical
Officer at Sega.com revealed a new online racer coming soon. "Some of
the guys in Japan have some really hot racing games like Daytona 500.
Those are coming up as well", he said when questioned about the network
games.

While no details have been given about the game, fans of Daytona are
already foaming at the mouth... perhaps 40 cars racing online at once?
How about tracks from Daytona 1 &amp; 2? Hopefully details will come out of
Sega at their show late next month (before the Tokyo Game Show). It
certainly sounds promising. - Tails

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Free Real-Life Tokyo Xtreme Racing Video 

With Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2 on its way to the Dreamcast, a special ten-
minute video of real-life extreme racing from Tokyo will be available
to those who pre-order the game. Check your local game store to see if
you can still reserve the upcoming Dreamcast racer. - Kevin Parrish

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Surfs Up!

Grab you surfboards and you swim fins; Mattel Interactive's Championship
Surfer has been set for a November release on the Dreamcast. Eight
members of the O'Neil World Championship has been secured and will be
featured in the upcoming game.

The list of members includes Cory Lopez, Shane Beschen (who has
consistently been among the top surfers in the Association of Surfing
Professionals since his pro debut in 1993), Rochelle Ballard (finished
fourth in the World Championship Tour standings), Jason "Rat Boy"
Collins (won the Vans/Surfing Magazine Air Show in 1999), Tim Reyes,
Nathan Carroll, and John John Flourence (at the age of 7, is the
youngest ever to surf the world famous Banzai Pipeline in Hawaii).

Championship Surfer ,although featuring actual surfers, will take place
on a fictional South Pacific island giving gamers 10 beaches to choose
from, each with its own unique breaking style, size, and added weather
conditions.

"Our partnership with the members of the O'Neill surfing team will help
us bring an air of authenticity to Championship Surfer," said Mattel
Interactive President Bernard Stolar. "With the growing popularity of
games based on skateboarding and snowboarding, a product like
Championship Surfer is a logical progression. The combination of a
talented developer like Krome and world-class surfers from O'Neill will
enable Championship Surfer to deliver a new brand of excitement to
console and PC gamers alike." - Kevin Parrish

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Another Dead Or Alive 2

The upcoming Japanese release of Dead Or Alive 2 brings the total number
of different versions to three. The most basic for America, one with
hidden features for Europe, and finally the biggest release for Japan.
And that's just the Dreamcast releases!

The Japanese version is very similar to the Playstation 2's Dead Or
Alive 2: Hardcore. Including Bayman, a character from DOA1 now making a
comeback, along with several stages and danger zones from the original,
and finally extra hidden costumes.

Imports who were disappointed by the American Dead Or Alive 2, or who
haven't yet experienced the graphical wonders of Tecmo's fighter might
want to circle the Japanese release date, September 28th on their
calender. - Tails

Each week here we'll keep you up to-date with the latest rumors going
around, but please remember these are only rumors.

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Shenmue 3 (!)

"Will a Shenmue 3 come out," that's what people have been asking and the
answer is YES! The creator of Shenmue "Yu Suzuki" has said that he wants
to come out with a Shenmue 3, and he's most likely going to do this.
Lets just hope that we will get to at least see the first Shenmue here
in America.

The game Shenmue is one of the best games ever created for the
Dreamcast, and will always be one of the best games ever created, but
now that a 3rd version is coming along we'll see how that stands. The
graphics in Shenmue 3 should be the best ever seen in a Dreamcast game,
and probably better that most PS2 games. All parts of the game should be
amazing, considering that the game is the last in the Series. It has
been said that Ryo, the head character in Shenmue will travel outside of
China, and Japan to other countries maybe even the Americas, but
probably not because Yu Suzuki wants the game to be very cultural
oriented. Lets hope that we can play more Saturn games at Ryo's house,
and maybe even download Saturn games off of a website (hmmm... - Tails).
The first Shenmue takes place in 1986 and they even have a Saturn in the
game, so by the time the third version comes out there might even be a
Dreamcast in the game. It is said that Ryo might get married or look for
a wife, but that might not fit to well with a game.

that's all the info I have for now so I'm sorry I can't tell you more.
The price should be around $60, and the date has been confirmed that
we'll get it before we die, considering that the first version took
forever to make, and the second version isn't even out yet. that's all
for now, thanks for reading. By: Michael Monahan

Despite most reviewers thoughts about the game, World Series Baseball
2K1 is a hit! Sega seem to have hit the ball right out of the park with
this title in fact, as it's the number one selling game in America...
that includes all consoles, even the PC. (NPD Group 7/23/00). Plus
reports in this weeks rumors page suggest the title is responsible for
putting the Dreamcast console sales back on track.

If only all the news was so good this week... Unfortunately several
titles were canned during the past few days, and two companies have
scrubbed all Dreamcast development. Full details in this weeks news.

Next there's cheats for Ferrari 355, rumors on Seaman 2, and the second
part of our "Games Of August 2000" feature. Then tomorrow in Dreamcast
Weekly Extra... a huge round of Q&amp;A, plus a review or two of Acclaims
latest releases.

Until next time remember, The Game Is Never Over!

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Games For August 2000
     - Written by Tails

You can already feel the Christmas season drawing nearer. Big name
titles like Power Stone 2, Sega GT, D2, Ecco The Dolphin, Sydney 2000
and Seaman are all due out this month. Almost twenty titles to be exact,
so we've had to split the Games Of August 2000 over two issues again.
Presenting part two, with the dates provided thanks to EBWorld.com

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Test Drive V-Rally - Wednesday 23rd
    /- $39.99
    - Players: 1-4
    /- Genre: Racing

If you've seen the PAL reviews of V-Rally 2: Expert Edition, you'll know
this Infogrames title ranks right up there with Sega Rally 2. Now the
game finally hits the states and aside from a slight name change,
Americans have the chance to drive power slide around the world like the
rest of us.

With 86 tracks spanning 12 countries, there's no shortage of courses. But
if you do happen to get board of the true-to-life tracks, you can create
your own and save it to your VMU. The track editor is surprisingly good,
and takes up just 11 blocks of space on your VMU, which also includes a
ghost car too!

With 26 cars, four single player modes, the ability to play all those
with three mates by your side (yes the 4-player split screen racing Sega
Rally 2 was lacking is here), and then different weather and time-of-day
effects... Test Drive: V-Rally is no slouch in the gameplay department.
Once you get used to the slightly different controls, you won't find a
finer rally experience to date on the Dreamcast. If there was one
complaint about the game it would have to be the poor collision
detection, but that's nothing compared to the slow down in Sega Rally 2,
and may have been fixed for the American version.

-- Anticipation 9/10

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; The Ring - Wednesday 23rd
    /- $39.99
    - Players: 1
    /- Genre: RPG

Infogrames take a stab at the survival horror genre, and actually manages
to improve upon Capcom's efforts in some respects here. The story of The
Ring is based on a popular Japanese comic book, movie, and television
series, and goes that you've been infected with a deadly computer virus!
You have just seven days to find a cure for yourself, and save the world
before the virus spreads out of control.

Naturally there's a unhealthy dose of evil creatures after your blood in
The Ring, but these aren't zombies, even though the virus concept will
remind you of Resident Evil. The game uses real-time 3D environments like
RE: Code Veronica, but adds to the popular series with innovations like a
first person view, and improvements to the door/loading screens. When
a door opens for example, you can actually see into the next room.

Overall if you enjoy the survival horror genre, or are waiting to see what
Capcom have for us next, or for Infogrames Alone In The Dark, The Ring
could be more than a good stop-gap game for you.

-- Anticipation 7/10

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; D2 - Wednesday 23rd
    /- $49.99
    - Players: 1
    /- Genre: Adventure

The first game ever revealed for the Dreamcast finally gets a US
release, Warps D2. The original D was a mixture of Myst and Resident
Evil, and one that proved to be very popular. Starring virtual actress
Laura, the interactive CG movie was enough to send shivers down even the
toughest spine.

Now Laura is back, and as you'd except these days the game has come leaps
and bounds over the original. So much in fact that if it wasn't for the
famous atmosphere Warp are so good at creating, you'd be hard pressed to
compare the two games. D2 takes place in Canada, all in real time 3D, and
with plenty of outside daytime action.

But that doesn't mean it's missing the darkness you'd except from Warp,
as even the now-famous tentacle scene from the Japanese version has been
left in the US conversion. Spread over four (yes FOUR GD-ROMS) D2 is an
adventure Warp hopes you won't forget for a years to come. But after such
a long time since the release in Japan, can the game still hold it's own
against the other titles due out this month? I wouldn't expect a smash hit
from D2, but if you don't mind it being a little out-dated, or are a fan
of the adventure/horror genre, by all means give this a go.

-- Anticipation 6/10

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Deep Fighter - Wednesday 23th
    /- $44.99
    - Players: 1
    /- Genre: Adventure

See http://www.dreamcastweekly.com/archives/issue93.txt

-- Anticipation: 7/10

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Caesars Palace 2000 - Thursday 24th
    /- $44.99
    - Players: 1-4
    /- Genre: Simulation

See http://www.dreamcastweekly.com/archives/issue93.txt

-- Anticipation 3/10

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Power Stone 2 - Thursday 24th
    /- $49.99
    - Players: 1-4
    /- Genre: Fighting

The original Power Stone almost re-defined the entire 3D fighting genre.
Giving total freedom to move around each level, along with original
features such as the gems to turn your character super, and being able
to pick up scenery and throw it at your opponent, Capcom delivered a
fighter literally like no other. Who would believe they could do it
again so soon.

Power Stone 2 adds almost as many hot features into the mix as the
original did. With huge (H U G E !) levels, a fine tuned super-character
system, and most importantly four player mode... this game almost puts
all other titles who call themselves a 'sequel' to shame.

Of course if you don't have enough mates around to play the crazy mode
that is four player, some of the characters can be controlled by the CPU.
But to be honest even if you have to grab people off the street and sit
them down at your Dreamcast, you simply have to try battling against
three human opponents.

The only down side to the game is that there are just five levels. True
they are huge, and just have to be seen to be believed, but the
adventures will get a little repetitive. Still with all that's good about
Power Stone 2 that's no reason to turn down the game. If your at all
interested in the fighting genre, you should, nay MUST, check out this
title!

-- Anticipation 9.5/10

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Demolition Racer - Wednesday 30th
    /- $39.99
    - Players: 1-2
    /- Genre: Racing

Road Rage. The term certainly applies to Infogrames latest Dreamcast
title, Demolition Racer. Speed around one of the games twelve tracks
at 60 frames per second and slam into as many opponent cars as possible.
You get the idea.

The game was released last year on both PC and Playstation, but the
Dreamcast version is certainly at the top. Adding weather, new tracks,
new cars, and several extra power-ups to the mix, drivers with a little
anger to work out of their system at the end of the day wouldn't go
wrong picking this title up.

Providing there aren't any major bugs that come up in reviews,
Demolition Racer is a solid looking game you can look forward to this
month.

-- Anticipation 7/10

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Ultimate Fighting Championship - Wednesday 30th
    /- $49.99
    - Players: 1-2
    /- Genre: Fighting

Due out less than a week after Capcom's Power Stone 2, our most highly
anticipated game of the month, you might except Craves Ultimate Fighting
Championship to be hard pushed to stay in the ring. But the game is far
from going head-to-head with Power Stone 2, and is a true simulation
of fighting as opposed to an arcade style game.

Career mode is really where it's at, which shows just how deep this
game goes. Taking a page of out of the Role Playing Games book, skill
points and levels are used here. For each fight you win you gain extra
points, which in tern can be spent on improving different aspects of
your character, or learning new moves. Going through career mode with
all 22 fighters should take some serious playing time.

The game also features UFC Mode, Tournament Mode, Championship Road, an
Exhibition Mode, and finally a Training Room. Add to that five different
fighting styles, including Sumo and Wrestling just to name two, and
extra details such as a FMV intro for each character, and you have what
looks to be a fighting game which can really packs a punch.

If Power Stone 2 isn't for you, and you really want a long lasting
fighter, check out Ultimate Fighting Championship late this month.

-- Anticipation 8/10

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Sega GT - Wednesday 30th
    /- $39.99
    - Players: 1-2
    /- Genre: Racing

What Ultimate Fighting Championship is to fighters like Power Stone,
Sega GT is to racers like Sega Rally 2. If you've played Gran Tourismo
on the Playstation you'll know what to expect here, and despite the
title, this game certainly lacks Sega's arcade style touch from the
gameplay.

That's not a bad thing however, as there's plenty of arcade racers on the
Dreamcast already. This is a driving simulation (but not at the level of
F355), and one with stunning graphics at that. The amazing textures and
realistic cars will hit you first, then you'll notice there's no pop-up
what so ever, and a super smooth frame rate without slow down.

While the game might feel a little slow paced at first, that's because
your starting on the lowest class of car. Once you've mastered those,
you can take a test and earn your license and keys to a better class of
vehicles. Getting through this championship mode should give even the
most skilled of racers something to do for awhile, and naturally after
you've finished that there's always two player mode, and the ability to
tinker with just about every aspect of your favorite car.

Sega GT is highly recommended for driving fans this month, even if it's
just to show off to your Gran Tourismo loving friends. Also it's a bonus
that Sega GT comes in at just $39.99.

-- Anticipation 8.5/10

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Super Runabout San Francisco Edition - Thursday 31st
    /- $44.99
    - Players: 1
    /- Genre: Driving

Still playing Crazy Taxi? I am. But for those who want to drive around
San Francisco some more, Climax's Super Runabout: San Francisco Edition
might be just what you need. Packing the same crazy driving style as
Sega's own arcade hit, and also being based in the same city you might
think it's almost too similar to be worth the $44.99. But not to worry.

Instead of being a cab driver, your giving missions ala Grand Theft
Auto or Driver. They range from serious jobs as a cop, to the totally
bizarre missions of running around the city delivering Hot Dogs! Expect
lots to do in this game, and plenty of different vehicles to drive in,
even a farm bike!

Super Runabout San Francisco Edition has the makings of an instant
classic, except for one major problem that arose from reviews of the
Japanese version... the poor control. Lets just hope Interplay (doing
the US conversion) fixes it, but you'd be advised to check out reviews
or give the game a test drive before buying. Because of that the
anticipation is knocked down a little, but we'll see how it turns out.

 (((  THE WEEKS NEWS  )))                                     <span id="page3">| Page 3 |</span>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Canned, Trashed, Cancelled

What a week, filled with bad news of games being canned, you just wish
the week would be over already. The Dreamcast has taken quite a blow,
with the following titles on the chopping block:

-- Baldur's Gate (Sega)
-- Colin McRae Rally 2.0 (Codemasters)
-- Croc 2 (Argonaut)
-- Messiah (Shiny Entertainment)
-- The Road To El Dorardo (Ubisoft)
-- Independence War II (Unconfirmed - Infogrames)
-- UEFA Striker 2001 (Unconfirmed - Infogrames)

Both Codemasters and Argonaut have confirmed the news that they won't be
developing any further Dreamcast games in the future. Given up on Sega
already? If you ask me (and even if you don't) I think that's just plain
crazy! Just look at the list of great games coming soon, Sega is FAR
from dead and is going to put up a serious fight against the Playstation
2. Gamers and popular websites are waking up to see past Sonys hype, why
can't developers?

Finally, a US version of the survival horror title from Climax, Illbleed
has been canned. However other 3rd party publishers are currently
considering bringing over the title, which is a little good news.

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; John Carmack Loves Dreamcast

Here Codemasters and Argonaut go on about the total lack of developers
interest in the Dreamcast, when gaming legend John Carmack sings it's
praise with the upcoming port of Quake III. "It's by far the best console
port of anything we've ever had", he says to Gamecenter in their
interview this week.

When asked if he thinks the Dreamcast can do justice to Quake 3, he
replies, "I'm extremely happy with the way the game looks and plays. The
only issue, again, is that people that are used to playing with a mouse
and keyboard--their first reaction to playing with a game pad is not
gonna be good. Like with anything, you can sit down and make yourself get
used to it and have a fun time with it. Of course, it's great that you
can plug a mouse and keyboard in on the Dreamcast, but that may wind up
having a really bad class-ization. (laughs) You go online and you play
people playing with joypads, and then people who have gone out and bought
the mouse and keyboard--given equal talent they're going to lay waste to
the joypad people. From all the audio/visual gameplay standpoints and
everything it's an extremely true [port]. It's by far the best console
port of anything we've ever had. Not only does it capture the essential
feel of a lot of the stuff; it really looks great and, in fact--to compare
it to the way a lot of people run it on the PC--you get even more texture
detail on the Dreamcast because of the compression and hardware."

Finally when he was asked if he plans any other ports for the Dreamcast,
John said, "We're certainly giving pretty good recommendations on the
Dreamcast process to other people working with Quake III technology.
There are some of the other licensees that are in the process of some
Dreamcast work."

You can read the full interview at http://www.gamecenter.com/ which is
well worth seeing - did you know he plays console games more than PC
titles?

 (((  RED HOT RUMORS  )))                                     <span id="page4">| Page 4 |</span>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Each week here we'll keep you up to-date with the latest rumors going
around, but please remember these are only rumors.

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Seaman 2 May Be The New Thing

It has been rumored in Japan that a new Seaman game will come out next
year. I'm sure many of you think that this may be the Seaman Christmas
edition, but its not.

Many rumors have been said about this Seaman 2, and some are true and
many are false, but it's almost certain there will be a Seaman 2 by the
end of next year. Read below for information on the game.

Seaman 2 should be kind of like an application to the first version
Seaman. I have heard some rumors that it will load into the local memory
of the DC, almost like how the new Bleem software would. The game is
supposed to have better voice recognition than the first Seaman and many
more phrases. The Seaman creatures should look somewhat like crabs, this
info isn't that clear about the crabs. The game should include some
online expansion, like downloadable voices, or scenery. That would be
like Sonic Adventure, in that game you can download birthday parties and
different enhancements to the game.

Like I said before, if it does come out, it should be before the end of
next year. A price hasn't been confirmed, but it should be around $50
like most games. That's all of the info I have so if I get more I'll try
to keep you posted. By: Michael Monahan

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Dreamcast Sales Up

Could the Christmas build up be starting already? Thanks to "Hawkmoon"
for reporting from a reliable source that Dreamcast console sales have
been up these past three weeks. The reason? Apparently it's World
Series Baseball 2K1, the number one selling video game this month.
Since the game was released, featuring some very impressive graphics,
more people have taken an interest in Sega's console.

With these recent events, Sega/Net launching, and a possible price drop
to $149 at the end of the month... things are looking pretty good.

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; World Series Baseball 2K1 Fast Track Guide:

When you first see the pitcher kicking up a cloud of dust as he digs
into the mound, you get the feeling that World Series Baseball 2K1 is
more than just another game of roundball. After the first pitch is
thrown, you will experience the sights and sounds of major league
baseball at a level of detail never before seen in a console baseball
game. And, the closer you look, the better it gets. Just wait until
the camera zooms in on your left fielder as he chases down a line
drive off of the Green Monster at Fenway.

World Series Baseball 2K1, however, is more than just a feast for the
eyes, it is stimulation for your baseball mind. In the dugout, you
pull all the strings as you manage your favorite major league team
to the divisional championship, league championship, and hopefully,
the World Series. Along the way, you'll set lineups and pitching
rotations, your defensive alignment on the field, and control your
pitchers and hitters in one tense matchup after another.

The Prima Fast Track Guide for World Series Baseball 2K1 contains some
brief tips and hints to help you play a better game. Pitching,
hitting, and team management are all covered here.

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Lik-Sang Update:

-- Tokyo Extreme Racer 2 &amp; US Rayman 2 - US$30 each

You can now import Shutoku Battle 2 (Tokyo Extreme Racer 2) for just
US$30 from Lik-Sang. The same goes for the US version of Rayman 2. Not
bad prices at all.

Lik-Sang don't pay Dreamcast Weekly in exchange for writing about them
each week, after the great feedback we've had for our readers about
them, we just believe they are the best importer on the web.

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; NextGenVideos:

-- New Movies

Two movies of Ferrari 355 and a Virtua Athlete 2K movie are online
right now. A great place to visit for hi-quality Dreamcast movies...

http://www.NextGenVideos.com

Why are they featured in Dreamcast Weekly? Because the movies are quite
possibly of the highest quality on the net, that's why. If you haven't
checked them out yet, now's a good time to start.
