Mr. Dreamcast Issue 1 (April 2000)

only 1 more issue was made.. It'll be up soon.

DC-UK was a Dreamcast video game magazine published by Future in the United Kingdom. DC-UK was launched by ex-Edge deputy editor Caspar Field, who was around for the first seven issues. He departed the mag to launch, Mr Dreamcast, a magazine aimed at children. The editorial page introduces the character of Mr Dreamcast, a CGI model of the blue Dreamcast logo with arms, legs, and eyes. The first issue had cutouts for two cars from Crazy Taxi. It taught you how to draw Rayman, and there was an article that explained surfing on the internet on the Dreamcast. It had a lot of bright colors, some text is a little bigger than what you normally see, and you see a few pics of kids. It's nothing too extreme, but you do notice little things like this, and there is a hint of trying to come across as being “cool” to the readers. The writing is probably more aimed at 12- to 14-year-olds, so it's not like it talks down to them, but this is a bit younger than what EGM and GamePro were going for in the late 1990s -- which could be older teens (15+ year-olds). Its odd, and apparently only lasted two issues.
