Retro Review: Slave Zero

Developer: Accolade Publisher: Infogrames

Release Date: Oct. 31st, 1999 Platform: Dreamcast (also on PC)

You know, I love doing Retro Reviews for the Dreamcast. Ever since the system died, I just haven’t been playing it as much. And although any excuse is a good one, playing it for work just seems the best reason.

And I’ve been working on this review all week. :P

Slave Zero has been labeled as a ‘forgettable’ game. But of course, I beg to differ. At the time, games like SZ showed us how far consoles had come to becoming the home arcade we had all hoped for. And the fact that it still garners a fair bit of chatter online places it firmly in the ‘overlooked’ section of gaming history as far as I’m concerned.
