Shen Mue mini-games, timeline

[01.27.99] » More AM2 classics are included in Shen Mue's arcade, fitting the game's timeline perfectly.

   In Sega's upcoming Shen Mue, one particular city will include a variety of AM2 arcade classics to relive in their entirety. Astute readers have already read about Super Hang On's inclusion; now Sega Web is reporting that Outrun, Afterburner, and Super Harrier are also included in the game. Just like Shen Mue, AM2 is the team responsible for the creation of these arcade smash-hits.

   Also learned, though, is that Shen Mue's story begins in the winter of 1986. The arcade classics' presence only adds to the realism abundant throughout Shen Mue's world, since they were created around that time. Maybe that's also why the game's main character wears an old, beat-up leather jacket...
