Take the Bullet is an unreleased Dreamcast first-person shooter game developed by Red Lemon Studios, who at the time was acting as a "1.5 party developer" for Sega Europe. It was originally announced as Project: TTB[4].
Set in America during the late 1960s, Take the Bullet stars Jack Travis, a bodyguard hired to protect presidential candidate Kincaide during his election campaign. Players must also coordinate their efforts with the rest of the bodyguard team to successfully ensure Kincaide's safety—which happens to be in great jeopardy due to a gang of thugs called Children of Gabrielle, which is out to put and end to him. Rather than using high-polygon models for a limited number of enemies, the developers instead concentrated on getting as many characters on-screen as possible, making crowd scenes possible.
