GameSetLinks: The Great Zoo Race Of Boll

- Yes, the GameSetLinks crew is back, with a great deal of random and not excessively old links, starting out with the UK Resistance crew cooing rather endearingly over Sega Superstars Tennis - and who can forget when UKR was a Sega Saturn fan site through and through, hm?

Also worth noting - IGF entrant The Great Zoo Race (pictured above) gets press for being certifiably crazed, IndieGames.com checks out Cactus' SeizureDome, and I remember Bill's Tomato Game fondly, for some weird reason. Here goes:

Like they say: 'Best SEGA intro movie since Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg'. Nice to see all Sega's strong characters in one game, really.

Referenced in the EG comments for Crayon Physics Deluxe, I recall playing this puzzle-y vaguely Crayon-ish thing (minus physics!) on Amiga - what an awesome game name!

IndieGames.com - The Weblog - Freeware Game Pick: SeizureDome (cactus)
Great name! Cactus is doing about a game a week right now, or something - it's insane.

Kotaku Clip: Christian Animal Racing HELL
This game (The Zoo Race) was entered into the IGF this year and got some 'interesting' feedback.

Comments

I like that Sega has decided to not flush Billy Hatcher down the swirly memory hole. I enjoyed it rather more than I thought I would. (But then, I also liked the Nights update....)

The Zoo Race game, however, is -insane-. I am not kidding or being ironic. I use the term with the fullest appreciation of its meaning,
