Alien Front Online is a Sega Dreamcast action game developed by WOW Entertainment. It was only released in North America, where it was bundled with the Dreamcast Microphone. As the name suggests, it was intended to be played across the internet, thus becoming one of the first home console games to provide real-time voice communication between two players over the web.
Alien Front Online's release was poorly planned - the game was launched six months after Sega of America announced an end to Dreamcast support, and its late arrival stopped the game from reaching other markets. Shortly after release Sega moved from a free online gameplay model to one which required payment, dramatically reducing the amount of online users. Inevitably all Alien Front Online servers were taken down, meaning it is now impossible to play this game online.
