So, I've never owned a Dreamcast but I've played a lot of games that originated on the system. I'm always looking at the history of game releases, and the Dreamcast just had an amazing two years of releases. It reminds me a lot of the Switch in so many ways. Like the Switch it was a successor to a failed console, it had a very good library, it was made by a small Japanese company, and it sold extremely well (nearly 10 million units in three years, while the GameCube struggled to reach 20 million in 5 years). Sega just ran out of money with the Dreamcast.
Update: I compiled a list of Dreamcast games and their Metacritic scores all the way to the 80's. If a Metacritic Score was missing I supplimented a Gamerankings Score. Sports games, and MMOs have been removed from the list. This is intended to be a list of games that are functional to this day.
