The white Dreamcast VMS unit
|
NCS posted preliminary details on the Sega Dreamcast VMS on Monday. Due to the large amount of e-mail we received concerning this item, we will clarify some things in this space. The VMS will initially serve as a hand-held game since no Dreamcast console is available yet. The LCD based diversion is a simple Godzilla fighting game where you battle against Mothra, Rodan and other classic monsters from the silver screen. Godzilla is hardly recognizable due to the low resolution of the VMS screen but we're taking Sega's word that it's him/her. The screen on the VMS features a resolution of 48 x 32 dots, which is primitive when compared to the Gameboy. The VMS will allow for text and other data when the Dreamcast is released this November. The VMS uses an 8-bit processor and measures roughly 4" x 2" x 1/2". Two colors will be available initially: black and white. Sega's official release date is July 11, so we expect to have this stock within two weeks. |
