Fans of Unreal Tournament on Dreamcast have been trying for a while to find a way to bring back Unreal Tournament online since it got offline in 2003, only 2 years after the game got released.
We, the signers of this petition, ask Epic and Secret Level to release the dedicated server software for the Dreamcast version to the public.
Because the PC game even got its source code released.
Because the game got offline so quickly that most gamers felt frustrated not being able to enjoy this game online for a longer while.
Because we are fans of that game and wish to be able to play it online again.
In the event that Epic and Secret Level can't release the dedicated server software for legal reasons, we ask them to help us by giving us enough informations to allow us to convert the PC's version dedicated server software to one able to allow Dreamcast users to play Unreal Tournament online again.
We'd like to thanks Epic and Secret Level for their awesome port of an awesome game, and support them with their projects as fans of their work.
Thanks to all of you who signed as well!
Make sure as many as possible Dreamcast fans of Unreal Tournament sign here!
I have spent time recently revisiting the early years of this game and reflecting on why its legacy remains so vivid for us. The correspondence I receive from fellow players confirms that this desire for connection is shared by many who remember the unique experience of playing on console. While the technical path forward is complex, your continued interest provides the necessary momentum to keep engaging with those who hold the keys to this software.

Seeing this groundswell of enthusiasm for a piece of gaming history is truly heartening. It reminds me that the community surrounding the Dreamcast remains as dedicated and passionate as ever.

The dreamcast community is really stepping up reviving the entire screen with online functionality (dreamcast-talk). Bringing back UT would be a huge boost.

Making UT Dreamcast online again would be something so special. I have no doubt that this would quickly become popular again! It will strengthen the remaining UT99 fans and revive many great memories. Make it happen!
