ChuChu Rocket! 1999

Is it still worth playing?

An action puzzle game developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega for the Dreamcast in 1999, directed and produced by Yuji Naka. You place arrows on a board to lead mice into escape rockets while avoiding cats, and the characters run in a straight line and turn right when they hit a wall. You can place three arrows at once, and a fourth makes your oldest vanish. The single player modes ask you to save all the mice on a board, while in multiplayer up to four players battle to collect the most, steering the cats towards the others' rockets. It was the first Dreamcast game designed for online play, with a level editor and stage uploads, and the GBA port brought over 2,500 user made stages. The online service has long shut down, though the game can be played online through private servers. A short round of arrows and panic is still easy to start with friends.
