Title: Whats the best about Sega Dreamcast?
Post by: KMSoulja on December 03, 2013, 01:00:24 AM
I just got a Sega Dreamcast with 2 controllers and VMU for $30.
I got soul calibur in the system.
I remember like 10 years ago i bought a sega dreamcast for about the same price.
bought it because i wanted to play sonic adventure 1.
and sonic shuffle.

I wish i still had both of those games. Aside from those which games should i try to get?

Depends if your looking for exclusives or not,

Marvel vs. Capcom 2
Grandia
Dino Crisis

There are some pretty interesting home brews you can get for it also.

IMO the best thing about it is the still active fan base for it!
Check out these games being translated, and some conversions for FREE
http://rdcproject.blogspot.com/

SD adapter and a boot cd now make a dreamcast a emulator for itself, and rip games onto a SD card
Dreamshell is better functioning since this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57g1MkoTBCQ

Blue Stinger
Typing of the dead
worms multiplayer!
residents evils
power stones
marvel vs capcom 2
Mortal Kombat GOLD
SO MANY MORE.......

as i look through my games it might be easier to list the bad dreamcast games, overall a very solid library a games

I might be partial to dreamcast though :)

read this, then look at the games that defined the Dreamcast and hidden gems articles.

For me back in the day, Sonic Adventure, Jet Set Radio, and Shenmue and Skies of Arcadia occupied my time.

Is it true that all dreamcasts will play burnt games without a chip or is it just some of them made before a certain date?

Speaking of which, Thanks for the work on it ;)

I actually wasn't going to give the game a chance until I saw that the translation was done.  Awesome job and I can't wait to see what other releases you and the group does.

I don't know if people would agree with me, but I believe the DC (relative to the amount of games released) has the more "great" games than any other system.

Could someone give me a list of the best, must have games for the system? I'm trying to compile a list of what games I should get for the DC, but there's so many of them and I don't know if I should get the games on the DC if it's not an exclusive.

Glad you enjoy it. Way better than reading an encyclopedia while playing lol.

I say yes to this especially seeing that most of them were soo good that they ported them over to the other consoles.

Much thanks for your work gotti, please pass along a very sincere thank you to the revivedc team from me. I check that revivedc website for releases all the time.
for people looking for dreamcast games compiled from fantastic rips (not like rips from 2000) check this out
http://theisozone.com
search for "revivedc"
check out some of the top DC titles before you BUY them. PLEASE BUY THEM! support retro gaming!
I think you'll find many DC games are well worth the price.


Is it true that all dreamcasts will play burnt games without a chip or is it just some of them made before a certain date?

Its only ones before a certain date, but must I come across can. If its made after september of 2000 ( i think) its a 50/50 chance it can.



Two other MUST owns:
Super Puzzle Fighter
Virtual Tennis

burn yourself a utopia boot disc so you can play JP games.  Lots of great Shmups for it.  Well the good ones are JP region so you will need to import.
