When people think of the Sega Dreamcast, they picture flashy polygons, arcade-perfect ports, and Sega showing off the future of 3D gaming at the turn of the millennium. But tucked away in its library is a treasure trove of 2D experiences that were often overlooked in the rush to 3D.

Featuring Music from Radirgy, Segagaga and Dee Dee Planet.
