Cartridge Diaries: Incoming

Next up a game about an Alien Invasion in the Dreamcast era, it's Incoming.

Incoming is a vehicle combat game, part simulation, part all out arcade shooter, the object is to complete multiple missions from anything among cargo carrying, destroying set targets or defending a convoy or a specific outpost, the range of vehicles on offer include a helicopter, various flying machines which consist of everything from Fighter Jets and Bombers to Star Fighters, you can even play as a boat, a tank and a gun turret. The game even rewards you with total destruction missions should you finish the entire game by completing every mission and sub mission.
This game was way ahead of it's time and it shows, not so much graphically but what it brought to the genre, it would be three years before Halo would change the rules, in the meantime this game became an essential title for both PC and Dreamcast, it was later released in an arcade form 2003 using a VR interface, not many games can really boast that feature.
The game was enriching and satisfying and came with enough fun to keep our attention for hours, it sort of faded from view as the X-Box started it's era thanks mostly to Halo.
Current State: Rage Software, the original British game publishers went bankrupt in 2003, the franchise is currently with Funbox Media and through help of another group specializing in converting old titles for modern PC have managed to convert the original, sequel and expansion for use on today's PCs as of 2015, however it has barely made any news in regard to this release.
Why Should it be Revived?: I was okay with the game as it was, I think I prefer the gameplay to the actual game itself, I'm very much for a Halo Version of the gameplay with nothing but vehicles and heavy weapons, that would satisfy an old itch to scratch as it would bring some new creativity to a franchise that's starting to lose it's appeal in today's gaming.
