DC-UK was a Dreamcast mag 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. You got a lot of bright colors like orange, yellow, and blue. There's no editorial page this time. The character of Mr Dreamcast (a CGI model of the blue Dreamcast logo with arms, legs, and eyes) now answers letters. They lay it on thick in this issue too. One letter from a reader said, "It had everything I ever wanted in a DC mag, news, cover story, previews, compos, cheats and more. [later]...the Club Zone is wicked and I like how you created Mr Dreamcast - he looks mint." Yeah, it seems like a desperate attempt to list everything in your mag and also to appear to be cool with the readers. The writing is probably more aimed at 12- to 14-year-olds, and there is a section that asks kids (ages 11-12) questions about what they think of Dead or Alive 2 and Chu Chu Rocket. It is odd that they have a letters and user art sections already, but they do have a website, so it's possible they got content from there. The Mr Dreamcast character shows up everywhere. He even has a small version of him next to the score for every review with a quote from him. It makes it seem like he wrote all the reviews, and I can't find names of other reviewers on those pages. It does say that games are reviewed by his "experts," but if I wrote a review for a game, I would want my name in the magazine. It's a strange experience, and it only lasted two issues. It's fun to see it.
