Ah, the irony. Even though Sega might have finally disowned the Dreamcast, that doesn't mean Akihabara retailers have. Shop MESSE SANOH has set up a demo unit for Last Hope, which was released in February of this year. Not officially endorsed by Sega, the game is a bullet hell shooter in the R-TYPE-y and Gradius-y vain. What's more, it's a port of the super rare Neo Geo version of which only sixty copies were produced. Other DC titles released this year, KAROUS and Trigger Heart - Exelica, have met with brisk sales at MESSE SANOH. So, Dreamcast just because Sega can give you up, doesn't mean we can! Brian Ashcraft
