Dreamcast japanese_cake has reverse engineered the debug menu in Head Hunter!

[Anthony817]

He has written up a very nice article on his blog site about how he was able to pull this off.

An old preview I read some years ago mentioned an online multiplayer motorcycle racing mode. Maybe that's what the multiplayer was.

He says that the online multiplayer mode was completed but cut, on Sega's request, due to Dreamcast being discontinued.
The DCJY Dreampod is an overall good podcast, especially if you're a Dreamcast fan.
