Let's take a look at SEGA Powered issue 5: Dreamcast special

SEGA Powered issue 5 is out now, and it's a bit of a treat for Dreamcast fans. The magazine is a full on homage to all things Dreamcast, and is packed full of features and reviews that focus on the history of the console and some of the finest games to ever grace a GD-ROM drive. Priced at £6.50 for a physical print edition and £3.00 for a digital PDF, this is a must-buy for anyone with even a passing interest in the little white (or more probably yellow) box of tricks.

But that's not all. See, as discussed in our recent DreamPod episode with Daniel of WAVE Game Studios and SEGA Powered editor Dean Mortlock, issue 5 of this fantastic tome comes complete with a demo disc full of indie releases. This is the first time in over 20 years a physical magazine has come with a Dreamcast demo disc, and it features playable demos and game trailers - just like they did back in the day. Oh, and the menu music is banging.

But don't just take our (written) word for it. Below is a video that includes a quick flick through the pages of the magazine, and then a look at the demos on the disc which incidentally was created by Ian Michael - the same bodacious dude responsible for bringing the Turtles Cowabunga Collection to the Dreamcast. Check it out:
