NOTE FROM BRIAN:

Atelier Marie, a Japanese RPG for Sega’s Dreamcast
includes a Windows screensaver infected with the
Kriz virus. It doesn’t do anything to the
Dreamcast, but how would you know if it did?

The Top 5 Signs Your
Sega Dreamcast Has a Virus

5> Well for starters, it’s sitting next to that ethernetted Typhoid Mary you call an Xbox, Chester.

4> “Please insert NyQuil cartridge.”

3> Instead of “Banzai!,” anime dwarves now shout “Bonsai!”

2> Not only is Sonic running at normal speeds, but every ten minutes he pauses the game and heads for the little hedgehog’s room.

1> It keeps insisting that it’s still alive and well, and new games will be coming out in droves over the next few years.
