Tokyo Jungle

[Krizza]

Remember those quirky weird Japanese games with stylish covers on the PlayStation and DreamCast? If you thought those were the bees knees, you really should get this. It's a 12 euro PSN download (while it's a full retail game in Japan), so it's cheap, and it's fun. Basically you are an animal that needs to survive by eating, claiming territory, mating, and levelling up throught different generations, while exploring, hunting, and levelling up (and your offspring inherits some of your stats). When you die, the game ends and your score gets posted online (it's a bit roguelike in structure when looked at it this way.

What could this be related to for the Dreamcast?

[Krizza]

I didn't mean really related in anything other than niche appeal and Japanese style, so on DC that would be games like Lack of Love or Seaman... these two examples even have something more in common with Tokyo Jungle tho, as they both involve some kind of breeding and evolving, but I picked them because I liked them back in the day (1999!)

I remember both of those games. Man, I feel like firing up the DC now.

The Dreamcast was just too-ahead of its time. If this were for the Vita, I'd snatch it up without a second thought, but otherwise I dunno. It is pretty cheap, so I may just go ahead and grab it, and if there is an eventual Vita release, hope that I won't have to buy it again.
