Item Description
Hope you all still have your Dreamcasts hooked up because Play-Asia.com is bringing you two more exclusive titles for SEGA's gem of a console with the coming release of Ganryu & Flashback!
Ganryu was originally released back in 1999 for SNK's NEOGEO home console. This scrolling beat'em up sees you play the role of Musashias he searches for a group of mysterious ninjas. They've been kidnapping many people in Kyoto, including Musashi's lover Otsu. Now he must fight his way across Japan in order to save her!
Flashback is a sci-fi adventure game that came out back in 1992 for multiple platforms including the Amiga, Atari Jaguar, and SEGA's own Mega Drive/Genesisto name a few. A cinematic platformer that's very reminiscent of the original Prince of Persia, Flashback follows the story of amnesiac Conrad B. Hartin the year 2140. Chased by mutants, he crash-lands in a jungle on Titan. After he comes to, he finds a holocube with a recorded message to himself telling him to search for a friend of his. Just where will this story lead?
So if you're a fan of retro gaming or a collector of all things Dreamcast, here are two new pieces to add to your libraries!
Both games are REGION-FREE and are expected to ship out in October 2017. In addition, if you buy both of them together you'll save $5 USD with the bundle price! So don't delay, get your copies today and play like it's 1999 once again!

Green Blood
Kinda let down, thought there would be red blood or at least an option to enable it. It works perfectly on demul for those of us who dont have a dreamcast but still want to collect awesome neo geo games and be able to play them.

Kind of iffy, but enjoyable to say the least
Ganryu is an interesting Neo Geo classic. Compared to most games that were made for Neo Geo, Ganryu looks and sounds kind of cheap. It is an interesting action platformer however with multiple weapons to use and paths to find.
The main issue with this game is the emulation. Other than occasional slowdown, the emulation is actually pretty okay. The problem is how barebones it is. This is based off the Neo Geo CD version of the game, which itself doesn't have much of anything in the way of options. You can't remap the buttons, which is annoying considering you have to press the R trigger to pause and get used to B being attack instead of jump. All you can really do is just start the game.
Ganryu is pretty simple and quite difficult, but it is a good time and, all things considered, this is an okay version of the game.

Good game, but the emulation could have been better?
Not as smoth as the official Neo Geo ports or Gunlord, but it is fun to play.

A Sega shinobi like ninja platformer game.
Has branching paths and lots of action.
The game takes lots of elements from Shinobi and even some Megaman wall jumping and ninja gaiden NES game elements.
Its a good solid action game for dreamcast fans.
