TRICKSTYLE
Way back before Burnout, Criterion fused extreme sports and futuristic racing in this hoverboarding game. Rather than just scoring points, the tricks you could pull off are essential to a successful race, whether you’re flipping the board to gain extra height on your jumps or laying back in a luge position to ride energy rails. It can be a little rough around the edges, but it’s good fun. As one of the more popular games in the early days of the Dreamcast, this is an easy pick-up, with both the PAL and US versions selling cheaply. The PC version is less common, but it’s not too expensive either – European budget label copies are very cheap, and even sealed big box copies originating from the US can be had for under £20.
