Sega Dreamcast

[DrAwesome821]

One of the most underrated consoles of all time, looking into getting one for myself. What games do you guys recommend?

 

The games I eventually want to get are:

Sonic Adventure

Sonic Adventure 2

Soul Calibur

Marvel VS Capcom (1+2)

Jet-Set Radio

Crazy Taxi

Remember having one of these quite some years ago.

Sadly i can't remember the game i really liked on it, but i remember it was some kind of driving game where you could crash into cars and buildings lol. Over 10 years ago so hard to remember the name after so long.

 

Oh and ofcourse Sega Bass Fishing, loved it.

I remember playing the arcade version of Sega Bass Fishing a long time ago, sadly the display on the one I was playing on burned out around 2 years ago.

[PlayStation 2]

If you like the Project Gotham Racing series Metropolis Street Racer is effectively the precursor to those games.

Shenmue, resident evil (dont remember which one it was), if you can find them you can get some bleemcast discs and play some playstation games on your dreamcast and they look much better as well.  I had the ones for gran tourismo and tekken 3.  soul calibur and marvel vs capcom were must haves as well.  There was the weird game called seaman where you grew an AI fish that was worth playing just because it was so weird.

How has the greatest game for dreamcast not been mentioned yet? Seaman is a must have. 

Side note, I have a dreamcast memory card that my daughter likes to say is a phone, it's adorable...

No Seaman though?  I'm disappoint...

The only two I really played for it other than Sonic Adventure was Shenmue and Mobile Suit Gundam Side Story 0079: Rise From the Ashes.

 

Shenmue is slow and a definitely more story focused game. It's almost point and click adventure-esque, you just control the main character directly. Lots of detail for a game it's age. The quicktime events can be annoying but not a deal breaker.

 

Rise From the Ashes is extremely short, especially if you skip all the stuff in between missions, but being a fan of the MechWarrior games and Mobile Suit Gundam anime (especially the 08th MS Team), it was a load of fun for me for a couple of hours. It's kinda like MechWarrior 4 wrapped in a Gundam skin.

 

There's supposed to be several more really good games for it, but the Dreamcast I had access to was my old college roommate's. I've been thinking about getting one but with my current limited space and already absurd back log of games, I've just held off.

 

One thing I will point out. Some of the games you listed do have updated ports you can play. I know that both Sonic Adventure games, Crazy Taxi, and Jet-Set Radio are available on Steam and newer consoles. I played Jet-Set Radio on PS3 myself. I wanna say it was a PS Plus game one month.

I recall that RE: Code Veronica, Skies of Arcadia, and Ecco: Defender of the Future being among the titles I really liked not mentioned so far. Probably others too, but my Dreamcast has been gone for ~12 years now so my memory is a bit fuzzy about it.

The huge amount of hours I drop into that game.

 

Note there are two versions.  I advise to find the one that is v.2.

Isn't sonic adventure pratty crap?

Anyway, make sure that the GD ROM works. THose tend to fail.

And Shenmue!

I remember really wanting Skies of Arcadia when I read the review for it in a old Game I former magazine, though I had the PlayStation 2.

I remember spending way too much time playing Air Force Delta and Project Justice.
