Sonic Adventure and Shenmue are the ones I remember the best.
Soul Calibur
Such a good game!!
I loved the little chibi versions of characters that appeared on the memory cards!
I always read the title of this game the way it sounded on game start up. “SOUL…CALIbur!”
Great effing game
Phantasy Star Online for sure, Sonic Adventure 1, and Grandia 2
oh and Gauntlet Legends was also on Dreamcast!
I’m on PSO myself as a Hunter.
It’s still going?
one day I’ll probably play Blue Burst again, had a lot of fun on private servers
there are 2 Lemmy communities, but they aren’t active
Phantasy Star Online, lost hundreds of hours there.
I love me some Rez and Ikaruga.
Power stone, Ikaruga, Rez
I love Ikaruga from an aesthetic, mechanical, and presentation perspective.
But it’s been 23 years and damned if I still don’t suck at that game. This coming from someone who can fairly reliably at least see the final boss of Progear on one credit.
The visuals and music are what kept me coming back to it for years hah, but I’ve only beat it scrub style with the assistance of ROM rewinds. Some games are designed to eat quarters, I think Ikaruga was designed to drain paychecks.
I played the power stone demo a bunch on my Dreamcast as a kid.
Chu Chu Rocket!
Jet Grind Radio
Resident Evil: Code Veronica
San Francisco Rush 2049 for me. Looked so much better than on the other consoles, too.
Also Crazy Taxi. So much Crazy Taxi.
Seconded. CT for the win!
Que the offspring*
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Day after day, your home life’s a wreck
The powers that be just breathe down your neck
You get no respect, you get no relief
You gotta speak up and yell out your piece
So, back off your rules, back off the jive
'cause I’m sick of not living to stay alive
Leave me alone, not asking a lot
I don’t wanna be controlled
That’s all I want
No one mentioned Guilty Gear X yet.
So that.
Still some of the best pixel art and animations ever, in my opinion.
Friend of mine had the VGA box. Was damned impressive.
I still have a Japanese copy of Guilty Gear X I bought more than 15 years ago. Beautiful game.
No mention of Record of Lodoss War yet? Still one of the most underrated Diablo-clones.
I know is not a Dreamcast exclusive but I love Tony Hawks pro skater 2 and played it a lot in my DC! Also, Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxi.
Samba de Amigo
Was anybody else young enough to get endless entertainment out of those demo disks that held a dozen demos on them?
I used to love those! I never had a Dreamcast but I used the hell out of those for my original Playstation. And I think PS2? I forget if they still had those with the PS2.
D2 has been absolutely nuts
Well, they were mostly a bit shit. Sonic Adventure was obviously amazing.
