Earlier this year, interviewer Ashley Rojas – representing her newly-founded game preservation nonprofit DevStash Inc. – visited former Sega of America audio director David Javelosa to preserve as much of the musician’s game industry work as possible. From never-before-seen internal documentation to long-sought prototypes, Microwave Megaweek serves as a physical representation of both David’s career and Sega of America’s audio history.

The classic, once-Japanese exclusive Genesis/Mega-Drive shooter Advanced Busterhawk Gley Lancer (1992) is getting a remake for, of all systems, the Neo-Geo, fully licensed by Gley Lancer’s current rights holder Extreme. The game is a reimagining of the 16-bit classic adapted for both the Neo-Geo AES home console and the Neo-Geo MVS arcade hardware. This same remake will also launch on modern consoles and on PC via Steam. News of this comes from Gematsu.
Sounds like a blast, doesn’t it? Have a look past the break to find out more.
The new servers for online Dreamcast games keep coming this year and they don’t stop coming and they don’t stop coming.
Sega Rally Champion 2 finally has its online multiplayer functions restored thanks to Dreamcast Live. Players can once again take their off-road racing chops online thanks to Shuouma getting it all up and running for the first time in a long while, hot after restoring online modes to games like Bomberman Online, Hundred Swords, and even Propeller Arena.
You’re probably thinking “Wait a second, Big Elk. Sega Rally 2 didn’t have online features.” You’re right, but much like Virtua Tennis (Another game Shuouma got back online), only the Japanese version of Sega Rally 2 had online multiplayer. It was stripped out of the international releases. Because of that, Dreamcast Live can only support the Japanese version of Sega Rally 2, which doesn’t have much of a language barrier anyway, thankfully. In fact, it even had a few exclusive cars that were also removed from the North American version for unknown reasons.
Now strap yourselves in and go past the break to hear more about this exciting development.
