Released in 1999 for the Dreamcast, "Blue Stinger" was a third-person shooter that was a launch title for the system. Unlike most third-person shooters during the time (with the exception of "Shadowman" and "Heretic II"), "Blue Stinger" featured several action-adventure elements, including free exploration, backtracking, an interactive storyline, challenging puzzles, and the ability to level-up your character. You can level-up your character by purchasing new weapons, food (health), and abilities. I'm not entirely sure, but if I can recall from the past, there was supposed to be a PlayStation 1 version of this game which was canceled.

The storyline is a bit complex since the storyline slowly changes and builds-up over time. Here is a summary form Wikipedia.org, which explains the beginning of the story pretty well:

"Sixty-five million years ago, a meteorite crashes into the Yucatán Peninsula, subsequently wiping out the dinosaurs and paving the way for humans. Now, in 2000, an island emerges where the meteorite is thought to have landed, and is granted the name 'Dinosaur Island.' A biotech corporation then takes up shop on the island. In 2018, Eliot Ballade, an elite member of the ESER (Emergency Sea Evacuation and Rescue) forces, is vacationing near Dinasaur Island when something falls from the sky and leaves the island sealed under a mysterious dome of energy. When a mysterious, ethereal being called Nephilim shows up to chase Ballade, he takes it upon himself to solve the enigma of Dinosaur Island..."

Foreign versions of this game were released in Japanese, French, and German.
