The Dreamcast Junkyard DreamPod

Start your engines and hit Tokyo's Shuto Expressway with the DreamPod crew in this brand new episode of the DreamPod! Hosts Brian, Harvey, and Mike R are joined by our friend Lemon to dive deep into Genki's cult-classic Dreamcast racing titles Tokyo Xtreme Racer and Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2 — which were released as Tokyo Highway Challenge in Europe. We explore the unique RPG racing mechanics, stunning visuals and banging tunes that continue to make these games stand out in the Dreamcast's library — while also highlighting their role in introducing Western audiences to the world of underground street racing and tuner culture that would later explode in popularity because of games like Need for Speed: Underground and movies like The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.We also take a sizeable detour to talk about Speed Devils — which recently had its online functionality restored — as well as Genki's 2025 modern-gen reboot of Tokyo Xtreme Racer.Relevant links:Lemon's YouTube channelSpeed Devils OnlineFeaturing music from: Tokyo Xtreme Racer 1 & 2 and Speed DevilsLooking for more Dreamcast Junkyard goodness?

In this episode of the DreamPod, hosts Brian and Lewis are joined by a very special guest: Mike Arkin. With over three decades of experience in the video game industry, Mike has worked for the likes of Acclaim, Fox Interactive, and Activision. Most notably for us, he served as an executive producer at Crave Entertainment, the publisher behind some of the most unique and unforgettable titles on the Sega Dreamcast. Mike shares a treasure trove of behind-the-scenes stories from his time working on the releases of beloved Dreamcast titles like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, Tokyo Xtreme Racer, Super Magnetic Neo, Draconus: Cult of the Wyrm, StarLancer, and everyone's favourite guilty pleasure, Razor Freestyle Scooter.We also take some time to discuss Mike's current role as co-CEO of the newly reformed Argonaut Games, their new remaster of Croc, and whether we will ever see a re-release of their Dreamcast opus Red Dog.All the Dreamcast games Mike is credited on:AeroWingsTokyo Xtreme Racer (Tokyo Highway Challenge in PAL regions)Draconus Cult of the Wyrm (Dragon's Blood in PAL regions)Super Magnetic NeoTony Hawk's Pro SkaterTokyo Xtreme Racer 2 (Tokyo Highway Challenge 2)StarLancerSno-Cross Championship RacingSoldier of FortuneRazor Freestyle ScooterLinks: Mike's credits list on MobyGamesFeaturing music from: Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2, Super Magnetic Neo and Sno-Cross Championship RacingLooking for more Dreamcast Junkyard goodness?

A decade of DreamPod? Who would've thought? Well, apparently not us, because we completely missed the fact that April the 11th marked ten years since the introductory episode of this very podcast —episode 0— first went live! Thankfully, a kind listener on Twitter gave us a much-needed reminder of this major milestone.To celebrate, Dreamcast Junkyard and DreamPod founder Tom Charnock joins Lewis for a special retrospective episode. They dive into the podcast's humble beginnings, and reminisce about some of its greatest guests and funniest moments.A heartfelt thank you goes out to everyone who has tuned into the DreamPod over the years, and for continuing to keep the Dreamcast dream alive!Credit to a.k.a_sabby on YouTube for the Spongebob "Ten years later" edit.Looking for more Dreamcast Junkyard goodness?

We've all seen those lists floating around the internet that count down the greatest Dreamcast games (we've even got a few of our own!), but what were the titles that truly captured the attention of Dreamcast owners back in the day?

The Dreamcast has its very own Holiday classic, and it's called Blue Stinger. Regulars Brian, Harvey and Lewis are joined by friend of the Junkyard Dominic (Dreamcast Enjoyer on YouTube), to talk all about this misunderstood (and absolutely nuts) Dreamcast launch title that features crazy weapons found in vending machines, an acid trip of a Christmas department store, and Dogs Bower. As a gift to our incredible listeners, keep an ear out for a very special appearance by the voice of Eliot Ballade (and original video game voice of Sonic the Hedgehog!) Ryan Drummond.This episode originally premiered on the 15th of December 2024 as part of RadioSEGA's WinterFest 2024, as part of the event's tenth anniversary celebrations.

It's Halloween once again, and the DreamPod is coming out in full force with some terrifying takes as they resurrect a beloved format - this is Heaven and Hell, Part 3, complete with a brand new spooky subtitle of "Dreamy or Screamy?"If you haven't heard the first and second Heaven and Hell episodes from 2020, it's a format where our panel each pick a game they consider their idea of Dreamcast heaven, and one they would rather throw into the fiery pits of hell than spend another second playing. This time it's the turn of Harvey (on his debut as host - be nice!), Lozz, Mike R, and special guests Dreamcast Enjoyer and Derek Pascarella to pick their games...Check out Dreamcast Enjoyer's excellent YouTube channel.Additional sound effects by Harvey (Pizza Hotline)Looking for more Dreamcast Junkyard goodness?

This episode was as inevitable as a blue Dreamcast case with its hinges broken off. Of course the Junkyard was going to record an episode to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the SEGA Dreamcast's October 14th 1999 launch in PAL regions! Blue swirl for life, mate. In fact, celebrating this occasion was so important that we even managed to convince Junkyard founder Tom Charnock to emerge from his coffin and host the damn thing. Listen in as Tom, James, Andrew and Lewis share their memories of the Dreamcast, and provide a retrospective on the highs and lows (looking at you, Australian launch!) of the Dreamcast's venture into Europe and other PAL regions. There's also one of James' 10-questions quizzes to wrap up the episode... but will Tom, Andrew and Lewis fare better at the quiz than OziSoft did at launching the Dreamcast Down Under?Relevant Links:Order Dreamcast: Year One & Year Two booksDreamcast Premiere PostersSega Dreamcast Info page on the Dreamcast launch in FranceHow the Dreamcast almost went unreleased in the NetherlandsSEGA-16 Interview with José Ángel Sánchez (SEGA Spain)Australian Launch Retrospective VideoMusic featured:Metropolis Street Racer - "Heartland"Monaco Grand Prix - "Japan"Dead or Alive 2 - "What's My Name"Nijuuei - "BGM #13"SEGA Marine Fishing - "The Offing"Looking for more Dreamcast Junkyard goodness?

In this episode of the DreamPod, regular hosts Tom and Andrew are joined by former SEGA Europe Marketing Director Giles Thomas. During his time at SEGA Europe, Giles oversaw the European launch of the Dreamcast after effectively being headhunted by SEGA from his role at MTV. In this episode Giles explains how he was pursuaded to join SEGA, his vision for the European TV advertising campaigns, meeting the SEGA Japan hierarchy, being grilled by Anne 'Weakest Link' Robinson on the BBC's consumer affairs show Watchdog, the European Dreamcast launch event, the influence of Sony's PlayStation, Robbie Williams, blue swirls, PAL game cases, how the delay of the European launch affected sales of the console, SEGA Europe's relationship with the US and Japanese arms of the business, and also what - if anything - he would have done differently if given the chance to launch the Dreamcast all over again.Huge thanks to Giles for joining us to chat about all things Dreamcast.
