A superbly playable action/puzzle game. Chu Chu Rocket is a stand out title for the Dreamcast and one of the best early on-line games on any console. In the game, you must place arrows to direct space mice to your rocket, while keeping away cats. In multiplayer mode, up to four of you will be competing for the most mice and this can make for very frantic play and some raised tempers, especially if you choose to sabotage your friends efforts by directing a cat their way.

Emulators tested

Demul 0.5.8.2 (DirectX 10) – We played this one a LOT on the original Dreamcast over the years and we can speak with some authority when we say the sound emulation is not completely accurate, but otherwise the game plays very well and has no other obvious glitches.
