In today's episode of "Things I have been playing this week for #VGMWednesday ," we have a different rodent centric game. Don't worry, you're in safe hands, away from the House of Mouse.

Though, we are in the hanging out with Sonic Team, which is also pretty dubious....

The game in question is none other than ChuChu Rocket! Now, I am cheating this week, again... Boo, hiss!
I've been plugging away at the 2,500 single player on the GBA version, but I didn't want to subject you to the crunchy GBA audio. So let's just jam to the funky fresh beats of the #Dreamcast

This is the 『Single Player Theme』the music that plays during a single-player puzzle stage, and all things considered, it is pretty chill and easy going whilst you are trying to rescue mice from pitfalls and giant orange cats! Considering you might be spending a long time on some puzzles, it is good that the music makes for super easy listening!

Today (September 9) is the 25th anniversary of the North American release of the SEGA Dreamcast.

I have strange Dreamcast story, I found one in my neighbor's trash a couple years back? 😂 Seriously, people throw out WILD stuff. It was IN ITS ORIGINAL BOX, too, with controllers and a game. 🤯 I just had to grab a cord. Now, I need to GDEMU it (the physical games I want are far too expensive).

My main goal is to play Gauntlet Legends on it. There's some shooters too.

But... mostly Gauntlet Legends. ⚔️🔥😂

Happy birthday, Dreamcast. Now you're 25 and you can finally rent cars.

Also, check out this great article on the Dreamcast from 1998 via web-japan.org that I got this post's image from: web-japan.org/kidsweb/archives

Since today is the 24th anniversary of the release of the Dreamcast in North America (9/9/99), I'll share my own odd Dreamcast story.

I'll preface it by saying I was 19 in 1999, and wasn't really playing video games, I was moving back up the coast after finishing high school. So I have very little experience with the console.

But three years ago in February, I was driving home and spotted a Dreamcast box on the top of my neighbor's trash. And I thought, oh cool, a Dreamcast box. No way anything is in there. So I grabbed it.

But there WAS a Dreamcast in there. Nearly complete, too - with controllers, manual, even a game (see photo). It looked brand new, really. Missing the cords, but after a friend on Twitter gifted me a cord, it started right up!

Can't imagine why someone would throw it out other than kids leaving home or maybe revenge against a boyfriend or husband or something? Or maybe they just didn't want to sell it or take it to a thrift store? Anyway, their loss, my win. At least I saved it from sitting in a landfill.

I have no games for it (I sold that basketball game), and I don't need em- eventually I plan on putting a GDEMU in it to emulate. I hear it's pretty easy.

Psyched to try all those badass shooters!
