About

Dark Eyes was a 1999 MMORPG for Windows PCs by Nextech. It is one of the few games Nextech developed and published itself rather than for another company. Sega, who had complete ownership of the company at the time, announced a port to the Sega Dreamcast sometime in 1999. This never went to completion for unknown reasons. One exposition, in PlayerOne issue 99 page 28, showed the game having 3000 payers in one environment.
