Sega Swirl

Differences between versions

The differences between the DC and PC versions show an obvious disparity, ostensibly due to the inherent differences in design between PC and video game console. The DC version has split screen (up to four players) and many more features than the PC.

The PalmOS release of SEGA Swirl supported real-time multiplayer head-to-head play over the infrared port of two Palm OS devices.

Cross-platform play

SEGA Swirl was one of the first SEGA Dreamcast games to support cross-platform play between the PC and SEGA Dreamcast. The game supported play over email where up to four players could join a single game and take turns. After each turn, an email would be sent to the next player in the game, who would see the last four moves and then they would continue the game.
