Summary

This week, we're in conversation with Daniel Crocker from Wave Game Studios, the force behind some remarkable new titles for the Sega Dreamcast. Not only are they breathing new life into legendary games like Postal through porting, but they're also making waves with their innovative titles. Among these is Driving Strikers, a Rocket League-inspired game that marks the first Dreamcast game to support online play in over two decades. We'll also delve into Shadow Gangs, a beat 'em up game that draws inspiration from the classic Streets of Rage.
