Dreamcast was a great system with many great games. Too bad piracy killed it. The PSP is falling into that same hole ATM. Perhaps that's why developers are staying away
Get Twinkle Star Sprites, I don't care if you have to download and burn it, get it. Also, play it with a friend. This is one of my favorite top down shooters :)

Kingdom Hearts 3 Bet: If Kingdom Hearts 3 becomes a multiplaform title/is not Wii exclusive then I will be banished from this land for 1 week and sing my praises to those who have proved themselves to be more intelligent than I.http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/RDBRaptor/rdbraptor_sig16.jpg%5B/IMG%5D">

You can download this for the PC...I'm sure this ok it hasn't been sold commercially for a good 5 years.
Its hell good!!!!!!!!!
More fun than with the gun, and will sure improve your typing skills more than any of those trainer programs!
| Diomedes1976 said: The system was great for the time ,although some of the genres werent all that well in number of games of quality released. I have some 200+ Dreamcast games ,100 of wich were original ....later on I downloaded some japan-only games and games that didnt receive the gold status as Half Life 2 etc. I would recommend you : JRPG Skies of Arcadia Grandia II FPS Maken X Half Life Blue Shift Unreal II Arcade Crazy Taxi I and II Cannon Spike Spawn (Capcom game ,quite good) Power Stone 1 and 2 Outrigger Jet Set Radio Sports Virtua Tennis 1 and 2 Track and Field NBA 2K NHL 2K Shot them up Ikaruga Racing Ferrari F355 Metropolis Street Racer (the antecesor of Project Gotham ) Le Mans 24 hours Sega Rally 2 Daytona USA Fighting Soul Calibur Dead or Alive II Project Justice Adventure Shenmue I Shenmue II Resident Evil Code Veronica Headhunter Resident Evil 2 and 3(if you havent played those ,you will be able to find it very cheap and these versions control quite well have less loading times etc) Plattforms Sonic Adventure Sonic Adventure II 2D Fighting Marvel vs Capcom 2 Streetfighter III:Third Strike (very important ,this is the best streetfighter game to date ,but dont buy the previous SFIII games ,dubbed Double Impact and something else) Capcom Vs SNK 2:Fight of the Millenium Streetfighter Alpha 3 Music-arcade Rez Space Channel 5 Space Channel 5 2 Samba de Amigo Dance Dance Revolution Gun games House of the Dead 2 Confidential Mission Virtua Cop 2 |
Unreal 2 didn't come out on the dreamcast, you've basically listed every game out that didn't score less than a 6 on averge across all reviews.
My favourite was Silent Scope 3 ...bloody great even with a control pad.
Don't bother buying any games, you can just run any burned cd off the console without any modification, anyways.
One of the reasons behind its failure.

Exactly, you're not supporting the developer by buying the games anymore.
Feel free to pirate any DC game you like without feeling "bad" about it :)
...Actually I think there's 1 or 2 exceptions, there's been a couple of games released in the last couple of years but these are aimed at the japanese market ownly...1 is called "Radiant Gun" or something like that I think theres's one or two others but the dreamcast is not a commercial enterprise anymore so pirating does no harm at all.
Should keep the buggers off ebay profiteering off you as well!

More like an 8.But I made the list just using my memory.If I could add some favourites of mine I could add Berserks Rage (after teh Berserker manga ,a great read),and I forgot other great games as MDK2 for example.
As for Unreal ....I have it in my Dreamcast.Dont know wich version it was but there was an Unreal in the Dreamcast.
Err, read it and thought it said Saturn >.< Have to sleep! Power Stone and Grandia are worthy buys for the Dreamcast.

That would be Unreal Tournament. It played pretty well, although I haven't put it in my DC in some time.
| Burgles said: I wouldn't bother. I assume since it isn't made anymore and games aren't sold commercially then downloading the games isn't a no no unofficially? I bought 1 a few months back to play the classics along with a VGA cable to get a decent pic on me plasma... To be honest the memories are best left alone, apart from Skies of Arcadia and Shenmue (even that now looks ancient). Its just not worth going back... You will regret it and I don't think you'll play it more than a couple of times! |
Downloading(stealing) the games is still illegal and it's a nono to encourage the use of emulators, pirated games, etc on these forums.
But back to what this thread is about...
Shenmue 1 and 2
Star Wars: Jedi Power Battles
Virtua Tennis
