Copied from MobyGames: A few days after the events described in Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, Lara Croft is presumed dead. Her close friends begin to recollect her previous adventures, which occurred during different periods of her life. These include searching for the Philosopher's Stone in Rome; preventing the Spear of Destiny from falling into the hands of a ruthless gang leader; facing monsters on the Black Isle of Ireland as a child; and, finally, infiltrating a high-tech complex in pursuit of the Iris artefact. Like its predecessors, Tomb Raider: Chronicles is an action game with puzzle-solving and platforming elements. The gameplay is very similar to that of the previous games, with the addition of a few new skills. Lara can now walk on tightropes, swing on horizontal bars, and somersault forwards from a ledge while crouching. A grappling hook has been added to her inventory. The game also includes a level editor, allowing the player to create new stages for Lara to explore.

Copied from Visual Novel Database: The second game takes place in a world in which the first protagonist died in a traffic accident during his journey. The game takes place in a college town in which the original 12 girls have gathered to attend. The protagonist, Shiina Kouhei, is a second-year college student and a member of the Photography Club. He has been tasked with the job of finding his own model for the photo exhibition at the upcoming school festival, and thus turns to one of the now emotionally scarred girls in hopes of convincing them to become his model. Copied from MobyGames: The game is played in the 1st-person perspective to in communication with other characters and looking at places up close while an isometric view is used to traverse the city. Both city and locations are affected by the time of day and will feature different graphics during morning, twilight or night, as well as affecting stores and other locations.

Copied from Infogalactic: Gunbird 2 is a 2D scrolling shooter developed by Psikyo and released in Japanese arcades in 1998 by Capcom. The game was ported to the Dreamcast in 2000 and released worldwide. Seven warriors are challenged to head on a quest to find three powerful elements of Sun, Moon and Stars. Whoever brings the elements to the Potion God will be rewarded the legendary Almighty Potion and all its magical powers. Through gameplay cutscenes it appears that the zany, uproarious humor has considerably increased since the original Gunbird. The game has numerous similarities to the Parodius series, including the final boss in the game, a cartoon elephant playing a trumpet. There are seven stages in each game loop. The first three stages are randomly chosen from possible four. At the second loop, enemies fire denser bullet patterns moving at faster speeds.

Copied from MobyGames: Tech Romancer is a 3D arena fighter with a difference: rather than controlling a martial artist, the player selects one of the several available giant robots. These range from the absurd to the "typical" anime styled mecha to a more westernized idea of a mech. The gameplay takes part in large 3D arenas, usually dotted with buildings and other landmarks, many of which are destructible and may contain power-ups. Game controls consist of two attack buttons, one block, and one jump. Characters have a special bar; once it is full, a special move can be executed. There is an armor bar, which depletes as the characters take or block certain hits; if it runs out, the character will start taking hefty damage even when blocking. The life and time bars are self-explanatory, and there is also the special-weapon inventory, which can hold up to five special weapons at a time. The main single-player mode is a story mode, which is completely different for each character and, for most characters at least, branches many ways, often with multiple endings depending on choices made and targets met.

Copied from MobyGames: Knights of Valour: The Seven Spirits is an entry in IGS's longrunning Romance of the Three Spirits-inspired beat-em-up series. Like all games in the series, this game features mythical versions of various generals and other figures as playable characters. Compared to previous entries, the move to new hardware allows 3D graphics for the first time; player sprites stay sprite-based, like in older entries, but stages are now presented using realtime 3D art. Each character features unique special moves and super moves. This game also features a new "rebirth" system; players build a "rebirth" meter as they take damage and, once full, they can repeatedly revive themselves for a short window of time.

Copied from MobyGames: A unique combination of vertically-scrolling shooters and competitive puzzle games, Twinkle Star Sprites tells the story of the apprentice witch Ran, who searches for the fabled Twinkle Star that is said to grant any wish to the one that finds it. Unfortunately she is not the only one seeking the star, and thus must fight her way and defeat all the other characters that seek the star in shooter duels. The game plays mostly as a vertically-scrolling shooter, with you controlling your avatar and attempting to shoot and avoid the incoming enemies. The difference in this game is that each player has his own play area, a la Puyo Puyo, and the enemies cause splash damage around themselves when shot. Thus chaining the destruction of several enemies creates a combo that performs an attack move on your opponent. These moves can range from targeted fireballs, to special moves unique to each character, to the summoning of special "boss" characters that the other player must destroy before continuing. Each player has a lifebar, and as with most shooters there are bombs, and collectible power-ups to be found.

Copied from MobyGames: On a November day when the snow turned to rain, Ryu Hazuki arrives home just in time to see his father killed by Lan Di, a man Ryu's father obviously knew very well. Ryu attempts to stop Lan Di but is effortlessly beaten to within an inch of his life. After recovering from his injuries Ryu sets out to track down his father's murderer, as well as uncover his family's secrets and the mystery of the Phoenix and Dragon mirrors that Lan Di seeks. Shenmue is a hybrid game that incorporates elements of life simulation, adventure, and fighting with light role-playing. The game is set in a 3D environment that can be freely explored by the player. Much of the gameplay involves talking to Ryu's friends and the various people around town, hoping to find hints or clues. Ryu can also visit an arcade and play accurate versions of Hang-On and Space Harrier, as well as games like darts and pool. Included with the game is the Shenmue Passport disc. On this disc, players can receive tutorials about the mini-games or the battle system, watch cutscenes they've already seen in the game, and listen to music from the game.

Copied from MobyGames: World Series Baseball 2K1 features the actual players, teams, and stadiums of the 2000 baseball season. You can play an exhibition game or a season of 13-162 games, including an All-Star game and play-offs. Gameplay is the standard behind-the-catcher viewpoint for batting and pitching, switching to different views after the ball is hit. The game's limitation is the inability to control the fielders until after the ball is fielded.

Copied from MobyGames: Wild Metal Country is an action game in which one of five little tanks can be selected to control. Tank-like machines have gone wild on the three different planets of the Tehric system and the player's job is to defeat them. The battles take place in desolate mountain environments. The big differences in altitude play an important role in the game. In the single player mode, complete levels by collecting 8 colored power cores, which are defended by the machines, and returning them to one of several hovering stores. The player has an infinite amount of lives. The weaponry consists of 8 types of missiles and 4 types of mines. Help is received from a pair of helicopters that drop ammo and provide healing. The two tracks of the tank are operated independently. For example, make a quick spin by going forward with one track and backwards with the other. Moreover the turret can be turned in any direction. The camera always moves with the turret sometimes diverting the view towards the camera. The angle of the turret and the distance the rockets travel can be changed. The tank can only be controlled using the keyboard.

Copied from Sega Retro: What's Shenmue: Yukawa (Moto) Senmu o Sagase(What's シェンムー ～湯川(元)専務をさがせ～) is a promotionalSega Dreamcastdisc forShenmue. It was given away shortly before the Japanese release of the game. What's Shenmueis not a very big demo - it introduces the main characters and details what the game is about, before allowing the player to control the protagonist of the series, Ryo, around a portion of Dobuita. The ultimate aim ofWhat's Shenmueis to find the then senior managing director of Sega,Hidekazu Yukawa. Once found, Ryo needs to chase him down the street in a series of quick time events, then defend him from a gang of "thugs" (before Hidekazu Yukawa wakes up in a room filled with unsold Dreamcasts to find it was all a dream). Being a demo,What's Shenmuehas a number of small differences to the final game. Tom wears a different sweater, Ryo can crouch, there are dogs and some of the NPCs which block the paths do not appear in the final game at all (but do appear inShenmue II).
