The date 9.9.99 will live forever in the minds of American gamers. After all, that was the much-hyped date that SEGA’s Dreamcast launched Stateside, harkening in a new era of gaming. But that new era never came by way of SEGA, and after a couple of years, SEGA gave up on the Dreamcast and its final console, as a result, died an inglorious death.

Following the discontinuation of the Dreamcast in early 2001, however, some studios and smaller publishers kept making games for the console that the PlayStation 2 dug an early grave for. A trickle of smaller independent games were released in 2006, 2007, 2009 and 2009. And in 2010, developer NG.DEV.TEAM released Fast Striker on Dreamcast. And it’s prepared to follow it up with GunLord , which, according to MTV , is now available for purchase as of June 21st.According to MTV, GunLord is a “non-linear 16-bit action” game set “over nine stages at 60 FPS.” You can see the trailer, via YouTube, above. You can then head to NG.DEV.TEAM’s website to learn more about their newest product. According to Wikipedia , this is NG.DEV.TEAM’s fourth Dreamcast game since 2007.Say what you will about the viability of creating a Dreamcast game over ten years after it “died”... it’s still incredibly cool that studios continue to support the consoles of yore, even if the games only come out at a slow, unadvertised trickle. (It’s worth noting that GunLord has also come out on NeoGeo. Talk about your deceased systems!)
