I made a tiny change to the notion that the game was "given away for free" because I clearly recall buying it. If a later promotion meant free ChuChu Rocket, someone should find out when that was.--

Oddly, I seem to recall a time when it wasn't the free game for the Dreamcast, too. And going by the data in the
Sega Dreamcast article, it seems like it couldn't have been an 'always-free' game (ChuChu Rocket! was released a few months after the DC, even if you account for the US release). So, yeah, your wording is probably the best.

It wasn't always free, but it was one of the ( I think ) first budget Dreamcast titles in Japan, retailing for ¥2,800 when most new games were in the ¥5,000 range. As the girl says at the end of the advertisement, "Cheap!"
Many of us might remember the Japanese commercial for Chu Chu Rocket and its catchy jingle ("Chu Chu Rocket, nezumi wo tasukerou..."), regardless of whether or not we've played the game itself. One could argue it's become somewhat of an Internet meme, with a popularity entirely separate from the game it advertised. Would it be right to mention the commercial on this page?
Who knows, but for those who want to hear it ( and what a great jingle it is ), the Sega Ad Archive at GoodCowFilms
has it.

PhilipTerryGraham: OK, let's talk it out. I don't understand the rationale for the image. It is pretty standard over at
WP:VG to omit images of the characters except in articles where the character is the primary topic or it's crucial for reader understanding. For example:
Jill Valentine's design is discussed critically on her page. This game has minimal plot and these characters rarely appear, so I fail to understand why we must show a picture of them. With some work this article could go to GAR, but this image fails
WP:NFCC#8 and will hold it back. So I ask, how is omitting this image detrimental to a reader's understanding of the article?

"lead mice into their rockets" - the use of the word 'their' raises the question of why they have rockets, also it isn't clear at this stage what the rockets do (they could be a weapon to use on the cats), how about simply 'lead mice into escape rockets'? I'm open to alternate wording.
There's inconsistency in the references. I.e some publications are spelt out (PlanetDreamcast) whereas others are given with the url (www.dreamcastlive.net, sega.jp). Replace the url formatted ones.
