If you don't know what Omega Boost is, let me remind you or teach you :
Omega Boost is a next generation shoot em up that was created by the same people responsible for Gran Turismo. It's storyline was simple : The hero has to chase down in time an A.I. entity that stole and plans to alter Eniac, the first computer so we are going pew pew everywhere. And I am an adrenaline sucker so, yeah, the game worths it.
Being released late in the PlayStation's life, Omega Boost is said to have some of the best graphics on the console with parts of the game running at 60 fps. The game was criticised by some reviewers for being too short (Nine levels with nine unlockable special missions) and simplistic. However, it is still considered one of the best Macross style mecha simulation games produced and is thought of by many as a sleeper hit due to its poor marketing.
The game has high production values with a few music tracks by the bands Loudmouth and Static-X. The game also features a live action introduction and mecha designs by Shoji Kawamori of Macross fame. The US, Japanese and European releases feature different theme music with the US version using "Fly" by Loudmouth, the Japanese version using "Shade" by Feeder and the European version using "Dreamer" by Cast, which I present you in the video and the lyrics.
I've been making my own time
But I've got to keep picking up ground
Took time but I realised
There is a force that is keeping me down
Dreamer with the Dream Dream's on
and the laughter and the song plays on.
Play on...Forever...
I've been making my own way
through faceless people in crowds.
I Don't hear what they say
but their thoughts are keeping me down.
Don't you want to be found?
Well you want to start picking up pieces.
The future calls but I've yet to meet it
till I leave what I left behind.
Dreamer with the Dream Dream's on
and the laughter and the song plays on.
Till the darkness of the night is gone...
Till the morning brings the light...
Shine on...Forever...
Bring me out in open fields,
set beside the sea.
They promised me a better life
safe in Galilee.
When you get that open space
earth beneath your feet
what you find is close at hand,
safe within your reach... In your reach...
I've been treading my own path,
obstacles I've left behind.
I was blind to the rhythm of this life
but I'm looking through clear eyes.
Don't you want to have clear sight?
Well you better start making your way!
Darkness of the night is gone
till the morning brings the light
shine on.
And the dreamer with the dream dreams on.
Let the laughter and the song play on.
Play on... Forever...
Feel the love.
But I've got to keep picking up ground
Took time but I realised
There is a force that is keeping me down
Dreamer with the Dream Dream's on
and the laughter and the song plays on.
Play on...Forever...
I've been making my own way
