LEONA’s Tricky Adventures is a new puzzle game with exploration elements in development for Dreamcast and Amiga.
The game is in development by KTX Software Dev. and the studio are using Kickstarter to fund the game. The studio are after £35,000 to secure development. You can check out a game trailer below:
The Japanese webstore ebten has some other interesting pieces of exclusive merchandise for the SEGA fanatic amongst you.
As you can see above, there’s a Hang-On themed bicycle emblazoned with the game’s logo and painted in the game’s signature red. It is priced at a very affordable £144.10. The full listing for the product can be found here.
SEGA of Japan have teamed up with ebten to launch a range of SEGA NOTE PCs. The laptops are themed around 3 SEGA consoles with an additional SEGA-themed laptop. The 3 consoles are Mega Drive, Saturn and Dreamcast which you can see in the above image.
As the laptops are Japan exclusive they will probably be very expensive to import. Regardless, here’s the Japanese retail prices:
SEGA: 99,750 yen or £680.26 Mega Drive: 131,250 yen or £894.96 Saturn: 162,750 yen or £1,109.75 Dreamcast: 194,250 yen or £1,324.47
Ex Microsoft executive Joachim Kempin has revealed that at one point Microsoft considered buying out SEGA before licensing out Windows CE for use in SEGA’s Dreamcast:
“There was always talk maybe we buy Sega or something like that. That never materialised, but we were actually able to license them what they call Windows CE, the younger brother of Windows, to run on their system and make that their platform.”
Ultimately, Bill Gates pushed to launch a console of his own and the original X-Box was born:
“For Bill this wasn’t enough, he didn’t think that Sega had enough muscle to eventually stop Sony so we did our own Xbox thing. There were some talks but it never materialised because Sega was a very different bird. It was always Sony and Nintendo, right? And Nintendo had some financial trouble at that point in time, so Sony came out with the PlayStation and bang! They took off, and everyone else was left behind.”

It’s snowing and London and the Internet is throwing a wobbler! However, we think snow is pretty awesome so we thought we’d celebrate with a bumper edition of SEGA Tunes featuring loads of themes from different snow stages in the Sonic series! Click the links below to enjoy some wintery fun!
The first screenshot of the new Dreamcast shmup Ghost Blade has been revealed and you can see it above.
Hucast have also revealed some more detail behind the screenshot:
“You can see a huge bomb in the middle of the screen that is part of a “bomb style” mode. The player ship shoots out bullets in front and back direction to blast off enemies all around the screen. You can see a life stock and a hiscore display in the left corner, and since this is a competition type of shooter we’ll have an online leaderboard (very important feature we forgot to mention yet!) as well.”
Ghost Blade is a new vertical shmup from Hucast, the team responsible for Dux and its’ upcoming sequel Redux: Dark Matters. Ghost Blade is expected to see release on Dreamcast sometime this year.
Hucast are a busy little developer! Fresh off the back of Redux: Dark Matters comes The Ghost Blade, a new “caravan shooting game” (whatever that means) for the Dreamcast.
