Pulling up late but not forgotten, here is episode 24. In this episode, we finish off our fourth retro game in the series: Jet Set Radio. It was released in the year 2000 for the Sega Dreamcast and later received both a sequel and Steam port.
The theme, aesthetic, and environment of this neon splashed skating game is a true product of its time. It revels in 90s skate and street culture, focusing on a group of ragtag rebels as they grind their way around the fictional city of Tokyo-To, tagging everything in sight while fleeing from an angry police force. The game places an emphasis on movement and level navigation and encourages creative play to evade the fuzz as they try to put an end to your quest of vandalism.
The game achieved a cult-classic status and is still played by some to this day, but what made it popular in the year 2000, and does it still feel fresh and fun today?
