Once Upon a Pixel: Chu Chu Rocket photo

Puzzle games are my favorite genre, and near the tippy top of that list is Chu Chu Rocket for the Dreamcast. Why? It's certainly not because I'm good at it. A screen exploding with cats and mice creates so much chaos that it's hard for me to keep up with what's going on. But it's that exact thing -- chaos -- that makes me love it so. There's no other competitive puzzler that's as frantic. Plus, Chu Chus are just hell of cute.

Even if it's not that well known, I wanted to make a Chu Chu Rocket OUP to pay tribute to my love of the game. I won't say any more about it, mainly because it's less than a minute long, so any more detail would be an in-depth synopsis. Just go watch it over at Gametrailers, and enjoy!

This was up on GT last night, and I watched it. It's probably my favorite one so far. Anthony should consider purchasing a time machine and traveling back to an era where advertisers actually spoke like that. He could make a killing. No joke, it was awesome.

Chu chu is why I got a dreamcast. Later I realized there were other great reasons, but that's what started it

Haha hilarious video! I still do not understand why Sega doesn't take the 10 minutes to port it to XBLA or Virtual Console. It would sell like hotcakes for like $10, especially with online play!

chu chu rocket is one of my favorite puzzle games ever and why it hasn't been made for XBLA or PSN is beyond me. I pray nightly that Sega will make another chu2.

Hahaha delicious mice... I mean, it's a shame that this wont be on any online service any time soon... one can hope enough requests to Sega will make them do a port.

What a bastardly hard game this was. I loved the concept -- keep the clockwise-moving things away from the anticlockwise-moving things -- it was as simple as can be. But sheez, I don't think I ever got very far in it.

I just leave a link here to let you know that there is a remake of Chuchu Rocket with online multiplayer. The game is kinda advanced, in about 1 month there should be a fully playable multiplayer.
Stay tuned ;)
