Blue Stinger

Blue Stinger is a Survival Horror game released for the Sega Dreamcast in 1999. An island is discovered in the year 2000 off the coast of Mexico, where it is thought that the meteorite that killed the dinosaurs had struck. Named Dinosaur Island, the site is mined for the next 18 years, until a second object impacts the island and causes an energy barrier to form around it, sealing it off from the outside world.

Eliot Ballade, a police officer on vacation, is trapped inside the barrier as horrific monsters begin to appear. Ballade must work to find a way out, along with a boat captain named Dogs Bowser, a computer expert named Janine King, and a strange water spirit known as Nephilim.

This work contains examples of:

Dungeon Town
An Economy Is You
Good Old Fisticuffs: Dogs can equip shirts that teach him martial arts.
Hyperactive Metabolism
Eldritch Abomination: Jascony, the final boss. To sum it, up the meteorite that crashed onto Earth and caused the extinction of dinosaurs was actually an egg. An egg that took 65 million years to mature. Then it took 18 years to hatch, the final stage of the eclosion occurring right as you're near it, letting you face a humungous, Godzilla-esque monstrosity. Which was also absurdly vulnerable to your rocket launcher.
Late to the Party
Money Spider
Organic Technology: Robotic fish are somehow vulnerable to poison. Hm...
Product Placement: For Pen Pen Triicelon, another obscure Dreamcast game.
Stealth Pun: In order to get into the Hello Market, you need a Hello Card. Also known as a greeting card.
Twenty Minutes into the Future
