DC-UK (November 1999)

DC-UK (November 1999)



The Dreamcast was Sega's last console and one of my favorites. Unfortunately, it led a relatively short life and magazines for that system were few and short lived. Issue number 3 of DC-UK, a Dreamcast magazine published in the U.K., from November 1999, includes the following: Features

• The Padstow Bass Project - Sega Bass Fishing incensed us to try some of that angling stuff ourselves. However, we didn't allow for freak weather conditions or vengeful seagull attacks.
• Return to the Forbidden Planet - The Saturn has been almost universally slammed, but some of its games were actually rather good. These are the ones we'd like to see updated for Dreamcast.

On the cover

• Pure Soul - Namco's Soul Calibur reviewed in full
• American Dream - The US gets DC fever
• Bass Project - We try to get bass
• Forbidden Planet - The Saturn's good bits

DC-UK (December 2000)

DC-UK (December 2000)



The Dreamcast was probably my favorite Sega console and the only one I owned when it was active. Like most consoles, it had magazines dedicated to it. DC-UK, as you might imagine, is a U.K. based Dreamcast magazine. The December 2000 issue includes: Features

• From Geek to Chic - Ex-Edge editor Jason Brookes explores how videogames suddenly became an okay thing to do with your mates rather than a stigmatizing bedroom hobby beloved of lonely boys. From DJ culture to the cynical world of licensing, Brookes assesses the individual elements with the intellectual rigor of a rocket scientist. If you want to know why it is that you're playing games rather than, say, hanging out at that new wine bar that just opened on the high street, you must read this.

DC-Preview

• Quake: Arena - We bench-test the Dreamcast online happening of the year. Can it live up to the legendary PC experience?
• Le Mans 24 Hour - The classic French race is here! And you can actually race it for 24 hours!

DC-Express

• Tomb Raider 5 - Lara Croft is back in her absolutely very last (honestly) Tomb Raider adventure. So how did she get out of that tomb in the end of Last Revelation? The answer is not as simple as you think...
• Unreal Tournament - More snippets about this main contender to Quake IV's multiplayer FPS throne.

DC-Review

• Jet Set Radio - Sega's skating, spraying and running from the law sim finally reaches UK shores. So does it play as good as it looks?
• Half-Life - The game voted "best PC game ever" by readers of PC Gamer is now on Dreamcast. Not only is it a perfect translation, it also adds a whole new mission. But just what is Blue Shift?
• UFC - There are men in spandex out there who demand to be beaten up. Make their wishes come true in the fisticuff competition known simply as the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
• Silent Scope - Take out scum from the rooftops in Konami's invigorating and ethically dubious sniper romp. They are terrorists so they deserve it.
• SFIII: Third Strike - If you thought the first or second strikes hurt, wait till you feel the third one.

DC-Tips

• Virtua Tennis - Are you as useless as most British people when it comes to this sport? Don't fret - unlike our real life tennis hopefuls, like that Henman fella, you can be trained in the art of the raquet.
• Codes - Beat games the easy way - you cheating monkeys!
• F355 Challenge - Having trouble making it out of eight place? No wonder! You've got all the assists on you fool! Read our guide and be done with them forever.

Electronic Gaming Monthly, March 1999

Electronic Gaming Monthly, Issue Number 116, March 1999

Electronic Gaming Monthly was one of the best and longest lasting video games magazines there ever were. Though past its peak in 1999, it was still a good magazine. The March 1999 issue includes: Features

• EGM Grudge Match - Dinosaurs or spies - which are more fun to kill? We answer that question and others as we put Turok 2 and GoldenEye 007 to a high-powered duel.
