The SEGA Dreamcast died a premature death. However During its short lifespan, it was the home to many amazing titles, and one of them is Rez. The brainchild of the prolific game designer Tetsuya Mizuguchi, Rez was a trippy on rails shooter with a minimalist look and a head bopping soundtrack that came out on November 22, 2001.
Today we celebrate it?s 20th anniversary and the team at Enhance has prepared some goods for the occasion. Teaming up with iam8bit and artist Cory Schmitz, Enhance introduced the Rez20 collection, consisting of 2 T-shirts and a pack of stickers. In addition a 20 minute video retrospective has been released on the company?s YouTube channel featuring a look back at the title featuring a slew of journalists and developers chiming in. Fans can also chime in by going onto social media, and posting their memories and thoughts on the title and tagging the @enhance_exp Twitter account while using the hashtag #Rez20
