     Gorf Pluz Coming For Jaguar, Dreamcast, and PC
     Posted by on Friday, August 5 2005 Comments
    It seems that more and more Jaguar programmers are becoming interested in Dreamcast programming lately.

    The remake of the arcade classic, Gorf 3D, will be getting a Jaguar, Dreamcast, and PC release.

    Gorf 3D, as the name suggests, is Gorf with three dimensional graphics and other improvements.

    The cool thing about this game is that the original creator of Gorf, Jamie Fenton, tried the classic version of the Jaguar version of the game at the Classic Gaming Expo in Las Vegas in 2002 and loved it.

    Here's a picture of her playing Gorf Classic, as well as some older screenshots of the Jaguar version of the game in action: http://www.classicgaming.com/jfpn/gorfpluz_preview.htm

    - New: Association with CDI images
    - Fixed: A lot, if not all, of the run time errors
    - Fixed: Same as above, but unknown errors
     DC Particlez 2.0
     Posted by on Tuesday, August 2 2005 Comments
    DCParticlez, an interactive technical demo for the Dreamcast, has been released. This demo displays a blast of particles onto the screen, from the bottom up, like fireworks. There are several factors that can be controlled in regards to the particles flying. You can adjust the max life (the maximum number of frames a particle can stay onscreen), gravity (the amount a particle's Y position is changed), size (the size of particles in pixels (square)), frameskip (the number of frames to wait before creating particles), Intensity (how many particles are created at one time). There is a display on the screen that displays the number of particles onscreen at the given time, and the X and Y coordinates of the particle's origin.

     Cool Herders Videos
     Posted by on Saturday, July 30 2005 Comments
    The Cool Herders Status Forum has been updated with videos of the upcoming independent commercial independent Dreamcast game, Cool Herders. For those who don't know, Cool Herders is a party game where you have to collect as many sheep as possibly while keeping your opponents from collecting their share of sheep. The game was originally released as part of the DCTonic collection disc that was passed out at E3 2001, and later updated in 2003. There are several differences between the released demo, and the commercial release:

    * Single Player "story mode" tells the tale of Zeus and his sheep, Chrys, hunting down Iskur the storm lord and trying to retrieve his sheep!
    * Six worlds (plus unlockable ;) )
    * Six different herders (plus unlockable ;) )
    * Animated stages
    * Full soundtrack (or at least better than the single tune ;) )
    * Options to tweak gameplay (to replicate the original demo or use all the new features)

    All of these are subject to change, and may or may not appear in the final commercially released game.
     DragonDC 0.1
     Posted by on Saturday, July 30 2005

There is sound, but speed adjustments are still required before the emulator gets out of beta stage.
     Marathon (DC Game Port)
     Posted by on Saturday, July 30 2005
    Description from it's official page:
    his image contains the classic First Person Shooter Marathon created by Bungie software, also included are the two sequel games Marathon 2: Durandal, and Marathon: Infinity. Many of the newer gaming generation will know Bungie Software for their later game HALO for the X-Box, all the older gamers will know that here's where HALO's origins started.

    Bungie Software released the source code of the Mac OS version of Marathon 2 under the terms of the GNU General Public License in January 2000, Since then the game has been enhanced and extended under the name of Aleph One.

    Aleph One has now been ported to various platforms, the Dreamcast port was made by Bero, and although it's been left at an early stage, it stands as a good example of the Dreamcast being a platform for classic game engine ports.
