Above: three simple but nice wallpapers from Sega’s hilarious and fun Action/RPG/Beat ’em up Rent-A-Hero #1, which WAS actually localized for the original Xbox and set to be released by AIA Games (who bought us Illbleed on the Dreamcast) here in the US. I even got to review the English version of the game for Digital Press before the game was set to ship. Alas, it got canned a few weeks before the release for some reason, but I still have my debug code here and a console to play it on, so there’s that. YOU, dear reader, unfortunately got chunks of the game presented in a more watered down form as Virtua Quest, a kid’s game for the PS2 and Game Cube… so there’s that. Hey, SEGA!!! Wake up and do RAH some justice with a proper remake!

Below are three wallpapers and to the left, the marketing one-sheet from Conflict Zone, an interesting real-time strategy game ported from the PC to the DC. I haven’t touched it in years, but I recall the game focusing on not only combat missions, but using the media to influence the public’s opinion about your activities. Pretty interesting stuff from what I recall, but I never did get around to completing the game. Eh, one of these days, I suppose…

Next up: Some big, honkin’ files (well, not THAT big, but a nice amount of oddball stuff from two games)…
