So it’s the ninth of September, marking the 11th anniversary of the North American Dreamcast launch, and I’ve not done well with my goal from last September.

I had planned to, over the last year, finish up my Dreamcast backlog – that is, sit down with the curiously non-ergonomic controller in hand and slip GD-ROM after GD-ROM into the thing.  I actually did get off to a decent start at this when I started – I played through three DC games in the space of a couple of weeks – but I fell off the horse fairly quickly, seduced away by more modern consoles.

The biggest problem, of course, is that the games I have remaining are fairly lengthy games, not knock-out-in-a-weekend sorts of things.  As of this moment, I’m looking at having to play through all of these:

• Jet Grind Radio
• Record of Lodoss War
• Resident Evil: Code Veronica
• Shenmue II
• Skies of Arcadia
• アイドル雀士をつくっちゃおう

Six games, including two 40+ hour RPGs.

Oh, well, let’s give it another year.  🙂
