Space Channel 5 was first released in Japan in December 1999 before making its way to North America on June 6, 2000. A strikingly original rhythm game, Space Channel 5 was like nothing else on the Dreamcast or any other console at the time, briefly becoming a Sega poster child. On release, Space Channel 5 was well received, and while it was far from the best selling Dreamcast game, Sega considered it a mixed success. A film adaptation of Space Channel 5 was even announced in 2022, though no one’s spoken a word of it since. A one-of-a-kind heroine who appeals to female players while being reduced to a sex object by men.
