But the disc won't have a multiplayer option, which Sierra promises to release next year as a separate product, full of its own goodies. The Sega version will also include an entirely new episode, called Blue Shift-made just for the Dreamcast and starring Barney the security guard-that takes place simultaneously with the original game. In short, you'll have no trouble believing you're in a secret government lab filled with flaky scientists, vicious aliens, and brutish Marines. All the scripted in-game events were present, too, complete with the same great voice-acting. The scientists and security guards looked even better than on the PC, their rebuilt faces now less blocky and more detailed.
