Unreal is a first-person shooter released for Windows PCs in 1998. It is the first in the Unreal franchise and debuted with the so-called "Unreal Engine", now a separate product used to power numerous video games in the years which followed.
A Sega Dreamcast port was announced early on in the console's cycle, but despite being "firmly slated as a [US] launch title"[1], the game never materialised. No screenshots or gameplay footage of the Dreamcast version were ever released by Epic (Mega)Games, so the status of this port is unknown.
However, while Unreal did not see a Dreamcast release, its spin-off, Unreal Tournament arrived on the system in 2001. Whether Unreal Tournament is an evolution of this project or an entirely separate PC-to-Dreamcast conversion is currently uknown.
