The Dreamcast Directory: Websites We Love in 2024
May 15, 2024 · Late last year, in a gratuitous act of procrastination, I authored a piece for the Junkyard that surveyed the hefty range of Dreamcast websites that had sprung up in the console’s “post-Sega” era but which had sadly since bit the dust.

JoshProd announce 5th wave of Dreamcast releases - The …
Sep 2, 2020 · The return of Orionsoft to Dreamcast indie titles is a welcome one. I very much enjoyed his previous titles, especially Escape 2042 and Alice's Mom's Rescue, and this new release appears to be a sequel to that latter title.
