Okay, so technically it wasn’t until 2012 that PC players got to skate, tag and grind for themselves, but June 29th marked the 20th anniversary of the original release of Jet Set Radio (or Jet Grind Radio, as it was known Stateside at the time). An anti-establishment skating action game with a killer soundtrack, Jet Set Radio was the hippest thing ever to burst onto the scene of the Dreamcast’s short lifespan.
It may have failed to help turn Sega’s fortunes around (but hey, their loss in the console business was our gain) but it remains a beloved favourite that still has an influence on games today. With small but still thriving communities of fans, the time seems ripe to talk about games being developed now that are looking to Jet Set Radio’s inline skates for inspiration, as well as dreams of a potential sequel.
