Trigger Heart Exelica PAL Custom Cover Art

The next PAL custom artwork is for Trigger Heart Exelica, I used a mixture of promo artwork for this but I had to recreate the entire logo in Illustrator as I couldn't find a suitable one that fitted.

Sonic Adventure - Reebok DMX competition

This is a video I made a few years ago, could this have been the first DLC for a console game? the video shows the European-wide on-line Sonic Adventure competition that ran from December 1st to January 14th, 2000.

Contestants from across Europe could download a specially designed version of the Sonic Adventure Emerald Coast course from a website only accessible through the Sonic Adventure game CD. Gamers are required to retrieve five pairs of hidden Reebok DMX trainers which Dr. Robotnik has stolen from Sonic's wardrobe, while still competing for the fastest completion time. Times where then uploaded to Sega's servers so that contestants could gauge their rating.
The winners would then be notified via e-mail and their names published on the Sonic Home Page and on Dreamarena at the end of the competition. 

The prizes included a personalized Dreamcast pod and £1,000 worth of Reebok sportswear. 

Neil Riddaway won the challenge by finishing in 46.09 seconds

Puyo Pop Fever PAL Custom Cover Art

My attempt at recreating a PAL version of the cover art for Puyo Puyo Fever, I managed to build it using the individual high resolution source images for each of the characters.

D2 PAL Custom Cover Art

Here is my attempt at PAL region cover art for D2, I've gone for a simplistic look based on the intro of the game where you see the characters blood change from red to green before your eyes.

New additions

I managed to get a couple of cool new additions, a green PAL controller on the right and on the left the demo/mockup edition of what would become the official UK Dreamcast Magazine, this issue was not for sale, it was a dummy issue given to SEGA as a pitch to secure the official licence, the quality is amazing for a dummy issue, it even has silver ink printed throughout, the cover resembles the actual sample and issue zero of the magazine but notice the different logo and font at the top.

There was an alternative cover which never got used in the final print, apparently there where 50 of each cover printed.

Hello world...

Just a quick test post to see if the layout works as should, I intend to use this as a blog to document my various collecting of Dreamcast items along with any cool homebrew and other exciting hardware projects related to the Dreamcast I come across.
