Yup, it's on the JAN 2000 VOL.10 disc (US version).

I don't have my PAL demos at home, so unfortunately I can't check those...

I'm fairly sure it was on the Pal disc also.

Btw, does anyone on here own the special Christmas Seaman console and or game ? I'd soooo like to have either of those....

Tonight I found the Ps1 game The Snowman, which is based on the Raymond Briggs story of the same name, lying around the place so decided it would be interesting to 'Bleem' it using the leaked Bleemcast disc. It was a bit hit and miss with parts of the game not working but a fair few things in the game did work well.

One of the minigames has you flying over the countryside whilst listening to THAT TUNE (what do you mean it's irritating ?).

It was a bit of fun while it lasted lol

Don't worry, it's not forgotten - see my first post ;)

I was thinking that Napple Tale has a seasonal theme going on with spring, summer, autumn and winter sections. The winter part is a truly evocative ride and has this magical quality that would be a great thing to enjoy at christmas.

As an aside, I was watching Youtube last night and came across a couple of videos that involved the Dreamcast at christmas. I suppose I'm spoiling it by telling you, but one video has these two young lads desperately checking their presents whilst their father points them to a package in the room. They hurriedly rip the wrapping paper off to reveal a Sega Dreamcast box ! The look of excitement on their faces is palpable as they open up the package............to reveal an ancient NES ! Poor kids !! haha Their parents really should be had up for child abuse ! lol

I've never played that unfortunately. CDAGES was telling me about it on another thread and I thought it sounded like great fun.

Mmmm......I guess there are quite a few DC games with a winter/snow theme. I feel a list coming on :lol:

D2 has to be the most obvious for me. Then there's Snow Surfers, Sega Extreme Sports, Sno Cross Championship, Sega Rally 2, Sonic Adventure(is it The Ice level ?), Super Magnetic Neo(can vaguely remember a wintry level ?), Speed Devils, Shenmue, Napple Tale and The Grinch have already been mentioned...........can't think of anymore ! lol


Here's a question then: If you could have anything at all Dreamcast related delivered by Santa himself, what would it be ?

Mine would be that Dreamcast Watch that was made a few years ago, preferably with Yu Susuki's signature engraved on the back. Yes sir, I'd be happy with that ! lol

That's a new one on me ! Good find ;) I just read up on it and it is snow themed, actually snow plays a big part in the game - kind of obvious isn't it really ?! lol Apparently a lot of the 'adult' content was removed for the Dreamcast version though.......... Booo !! :| :)
