Segagaga is a game you’ve never heard of. It’s a Dreamcast title released in 2001 based around the wildly meta concept that Sega has lost all but 3% of its market-share due to the evil business practices of a company called the Dogma Corporation. This is some deep level stuff, and it looks amazing. I eagerly await the English translation.
Here’s a nifty piece of art from Antonin Fourneau. That is all.
It’s just okay. There, I said it. It’s not groundbreaking, life changing, or revelatory. It’s fun, but not the most fun ever. The graphics are good, but not the best graphics ever. Story? Still pretty weak for a video game. Controls? Kind of bad. Still, it’s a good time if you’ve got a few hours to waste, but it’s certainly not worthy of the insane praise that’s being lavished upon it. Hate to be a hater, but everyone is just getting a little too excited for their own good.
Doesn’t the headline say it all? 14 sweet kilobytes of JavaScript magic.

If you haven’t already had the good fortune of stumbling upon Pac-Gentleman while whittling away your 70% of free time at work, enjoy. Above is the work of one Doktor A, a clearly talented artist with steampunk/DIY/retro leanings. If you were worried the good joke didn’t go far enough, a chap named Scott did some ROM tinkering and produced a playable version of the game, replete with handlebar-mustached Blinky and Plinky, plus the inimitable Pac-Gentleman himself in a dashing bowler hat, as seen below.
