Chu Chu Rocket Is Out! Dreamcast! Sales!

In my continuing adventures of partying like it's 1999 with the likes of Sonic Adventure on my PlayStation 3, the Power Stone Collection/Crazy Taxi on the PSP GO and now finally, we have Chu Chu Rocket on the iPod Touch/Phone/Pad.

Chu Chu Rocket was released way back in early 2000 on the Sega Dreamcast. It was the first console, online worldwide multi-player game. My memories of the Sega Dreamcast are pure gold, the same goes for this particular title. The DC system included a 56k modem, which Sega supported greatly. It was a defining gamer moment, that first time I logged online and played with gamers worldwide. Awesome stuff!



Chu Chu Rocket is an amazing, fast paced j-puzzle game that you've never experienced before. It's crazy fun and addictive. It's one of those Sega titles you play and you're instantly thinking, "Why the hell isn't Sega releasing this game on every gamer console available?" The game has only been released in it's original DC version and as a launch title for the GameBoy Advance, way back in the summer of 2001. This alongside other great Dreamcast titles, has stuck in the minds of gamers forever. A true gem amongst others, that are just finally being re-released again for a new generation to enjoy.

The iPod Touch edition is great stuff. It controls surprisingly well for a game designed for a DC controller. It's another one of those great, pick up and play games that you can spend a few minutes or a few hours to enjoy. It retails for $4.99 on the App Store and is worth it. Get it now! With this release, Sega has a number of tites on sale for .99 cents. These include Ecco The Dolphin and Streets of Rage. Sweet!
