These are all real, by the way:

_Chocobo Racing_. Final Fantasy characters in a kart racer. Aya Brea (from Parasite Eve) and the Cactuar make appearances. Even the airship from FF3j shows up as an INSANELY fast vehicle. Of course, the AI cheats so much your opponents will be on your ass even if you’re going four times faster than ANY of them.

_The Typing of the Dead_. A typing tutor based on House of the Dead 2. For Dreamcast. In the cutscenes, the characters are carrying keyboards, with DC’s and giant batteries strapped to their backs. Also, some of the monster’s thrown weapons are replaced with things like toy hammers, etc. Great fun.

Initial Fantasy - You travel all over this world placing treasure chests full of swords, money, armor and other goods in various dungeons around the world. Don’t forget to construct booby traps and the like. You also have to organize the various peoples so that in exactly 1000 years things will fall apart.
