  The description of wearing the wrestling shirt making Dogs "feel like a professional wrestler" gives the vibe that it isn't that Dogs absorbed the skill from the shirts or knew the skills beforehand, but just that wearing them has him feel confident enough to use ad libbed moves on monsters in a life or death situation.

  It's really IS fucked up how game companies don't care about game preservation at all. Piracy is "illegal" and treated as "immoral" when the games haven't been sold for 20+ years and are on a console that also hasn't been sold for 20+ years. Imagine if books were like that.

  Thought that only just occurred to me days after watching this. I was wondering why the creature from the egg resembled dinosaurs even though it was supposed to be what wiped them out. Then I realized that the first thing nephilim did was take on a form based on nearby things, which it retains throughout the entire game. And if nephilim and the super Dino are the same species or 2 parts of the same creature then they might function the same. Meaning the beast looks like a Dino because it absorb or copied the genetic information of the things it wiped out when it landed.

  you gotta love how the game SEEMS to be setting up the island as an umbrella esque experiment making monsters for reasons only to go, no, the island was totally on the up and up, it was set up to hide how the people in charge were using the area to watch a monster hatching and stop it from growing and destroying the earth, and the monsters are just side effects of the strange alien THING trying to get out.

  I don&apos;t usually comment on stuff but I feel compelled to here:<br><br>This game is a very well established and super well conceived, overarching, cosmic horror narrative despite the game not being very well put together.<br><br>The way that this game sets up the ending is utterly brilliant. Admittedly the overall execution is...lacking, to say the least. That said, I can&apos;t help but feel this is a uniquely well thought out story. The characters aren&apos;t really the protagonists but, rather, merely cogs in the machine that keeps the plot moving forward; our proverbial lens through which we see the narrative unfold.<br><br>Sure the graphics aren&apos;t great: they&apos;re outdated and goofy looking. Absolutely the dialogue and writing is, at best, campy and, at worst, borderline painful. Of course the mechanics could have been better designed and executed.<br><br>But name another game with a &apos;Color Out of Space&apos; style, cosmic horror narrative that leaves such an implication as this games ending does. The only thing I can really think of is something like Parasite Eve, but even that doesn&apos;t end with the characters feeling so contributory but utterly inconsequential. A wonderful narrative wrapped in a poorly put together cheese sandwich.<br><br>Thank you for covering it: I love the Dreamcast (it&apos;s one of my all time favorite consoles) but there are so many games (like this) that I&apos;ve simply never heard of or encountered. Awesome work James!

  If you ever replay the game, there actually is something to Dogs’ wrestling shirt that makes it one of the strongest things in the game! He does different moves contextually, based on how close he is to an enemy. Up close you just do the weak punches and far away and you’ll do a running tackle, but if you’re spaced about 5 to 10 feet away from an enemy and attack, you’ll do a running dropkick that does tons of damage and knockback.

  Fun Fact - According to the game&apos;s creator, the voice actors were only paid $100 each. (Interview - Remembering Shinya Nishigaki and his &quot;Crazy Games&quot; Blue Stinger and Illbleed)

  Hearing Eggman swear makes this whole game worth it.

  I love how during the Dreamcast’s life, it seems like the cast from the Sonic adventure games and shuffle just gets hired to voice characters for other Dreamcast titles by default.

  This game got me in trouble back as a kid because the intros music was so damn loud that my mom ran in trying to turn down the volume and it was like somehow getting louder lmao
