Dreamcast Game Thoughts - part 9

So it was time to plug in my Dreamcast and review a couple of new games. I hate it when I plug in the Dreamcast and have to set the time every time. Why no internal battery like the GameCube? Anyway, I put in Atari Anniversary Edition. The games are tiny. I have a hard time seeing my ship in Asteroids Deluxe, and not only that, it doesn't save high scores. Or is it one of those crappy games where my score isn't high enough? Next was South Park: Chef's Luv Shack. So I got to the first question. Already this was painful because I was expecting a side of minigames. As it turns out, they are in the game itself. I tried to answer, and couldn't. So for the second question, I tried pressing all sorts of different buttons. As it turns out, you have to ring in. Then it hit me: This is a party game. I have no friends. So this is not a good fit for me. And if I had friends, I would need friends with Dreamcast controllers because I only have one. So it's Jeopardy! meets Mario Party.
