It's been a big week for Dreamcast news and it's all in here, from alleged wilful patent infringements to news of Dreamcast-compatible digital cameras. Elsewhere in the news this week there are some juicy tit-bits on the Dolphin's alleged sound capabilities and Bandai's eyeing of the European market for a possible WonderSwan launch. Exciting stuff, eh? We've been terribly understaffed at Future Gamer this week, but all your favourite bits are still inside, and there's more than enough stuff to make up for any small omissions, such as our great Win a PlayStation competition! Get yourself into the features section and enter. And if you've already got a PlayStation? Well, you can never have too many of 'em, can you? Enjoy the magazine and see you next week.

Review: Ultima IX (PC) One of the biggest and best RPG series has just been added to. The question is, in today's world of accelerated graphics, can this game format still deliver an enjoyable gaming experience or has it run out of hit points?
Feature: Frankie Goes to PlayStation Digitiser's Paul Rose charts (geddit?) the growing symbiosis between the music and videogames industries and ponders the direction they'll both be moving in the future. We've come a long, long way, baby, as Mr Cook might well say.
