DC Star Wars Racer Announcement

LucasArts announced on Monday that an enhanced version of Star Wars: Episode 1 is heading to the Dreamcast this spring. The game features smoother graphics than any version of Episode Racer so far, and it will let players post scores on the Dreamcast Network.

"We are pleased to welcome LucasArts aboard as a third-party publisher for the Sega Dreamcast, and we are excited to see their debut on the system with such a stellar title as Star Wars: Episode I Racer," said Neal Robison, group director for third party, Sega of America. "We look forward to additional titles from LucasArts that continue to take video gaming to the next level, while takingadvantage of Sega Dreamcast's superior technical abilities."
