Bought a Dreamcast yesterday!

[ALLI]

OMG. I lost so many hours playing Soul Calibur! Used to work at Game and we wasted so much time playing it on the big rear projection TV's. Used to have queues of people in at lunchtime watching us. Was great. Loved working there - just a shame the money was pants. (But opening the deliveries and grabbing the promo discs was a fringe benefit).

Virtua Tennis is ace too (pardon the pun)

 

[Chaos]

Think my most played games where Soul Calibur and Skies of Arcadia.

Think my most played games where Soul Calibur and Skies of Arcadia.

Skies of Arcadia is one of the greatest console RPGs ever! The Gamecube version adds a lot of extra features but the Dreamcast version is still amazing, and feels more streamlined, hence I've actually got to the end this time. Who can't love a game featuring pirates, but even better they are sky pirates!!!

I'm waiting for my Dreamkey 3.0 to arrive so I can download Hamachou Island, so I can get Final Cupil.

It's just a shame it doesn't do VGA, although it still looks lovely through Scart.

My favourites were:

Soul Calibur (the graphics are brilliant even now)
Chu-Chu Rocket
Virtua Tennis
Virtua Athlete 2k (awesome )
Metropolis Street Racer

Am sure there's more, but that's off the top off my head

It is definitly a real shame it flopped. After all, it had 1st party games that matched Nintendo standard IMO.

 

[Mr Men]

Why did it fail if the games were worth playing?

EA killed it IMO

There is quality games for it when you look back, but at the time it just seemed to lack something, I loved mine but Sega lost a lot of support from developers and publishers, plus off course Sony played a dirty game (something they cried about when MS invaded their PS3 launch he he).

 

[Drizmod]

Another vote for Jet Set Radio. Its a fantastic game. only game i fully finished on DC

also try Metropolis Street Racer and Crazy Taxi. great fun

 

[Mephisto]

Great console, so many great games. Soul Calibur on the DC = Best fighting game EVER.

 

[Inoshishi]

Shenmue is a must!

 

[Bonjour]

Shenmue is still really classy.

Soul Calibur 1 is still the best of the series IMO.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

You've got to get F355 challenge. Not because it's a great racing game (which it is, and it manages to still look nice) but for it's amazing 3 song cheese-rock sountrack!
Also, Toy Commander is always a good laugh.

To end the note. Get Rez.

 

[Mr Men]

Another game I enjoyed, might not be for everyone was Re-Volt

Chu Chu Rocket is a good call too, sure we got that free? can remember not actually playing the game too much but rather just chatting in the lobbies

 

[weringo]

Power Stone 1&2
Jet Set Radio
Phantasy Star

Can't believe the DC failed when there were so many good games such as these

 

[Bonjour]

Indeed. The DC was just starting to get into gear when the plug was pulled.

The games it had in comparison to the PS2 at the time were incredible.

 

[West]

Shenmue, Crazy Taxi, Power Stone, Soul Caliber and un-usually one of my favs Chu Chu Rocket..

Oh how I miss my DC..

There was another game that where you would go round an arena blowing crap into each other in cars... cant remember for the life of me what it was called but it was good, oh and that Toy one as well..
