40 Must-Play Sega Dreamcast games! Exclusives, ports, and never re-released

[@TynologyGaming]

CORRECTIONS: Yes, there are mobile versions of Chu Chu Rocket (GBA), Power Stone 1/2 (PSP) and Soul Calibur (Android, delisted) - I didn't include these because I was focusing on the amazing multiplayer aspect of the games and the mobile/handheld versions are NOT the best ways to play any of these games. I misspoke when I said they weren't available anywhere else, as I was talking about on modern consoles and/or currently available. I cut out about 40% of this video to trim down the overall length and streamline which changed some context. Sorry for any confusion. Thanks for watching.

[@j.goggels9115]

It doesn't matter but NHL 2K was made by Blackbox with Sega's money. You did well to lay the emphasis on the 2K sports series. They ARE amazing games.

[@BFKAnthony817]

Soul Calibur 1 got an HD port to Xbox 360 as an XBLA game back in the day.

[@TynologyGaming]

@@BFKAnthony817 Yeah but it was delisted about two years ago so impossible to get now

Power Stone 2 looks incredible, perfect multiplayer couch play to reminisce about the good old days

[@TynologyGaming]

It was the ultimate local multiplayer game! I hope we get a modern remake so more people can experience the brilliance of it

[@ayoungtricknamedjim5498]

Power Stone 2 is one of the most fun fighting games I've ever played. It's probably my favorite fighting game, actually.

[@Woter_X]

The fact you can run up walls like Jacky Chan and use anything as a weapon and catch throwing objects just to throw it right back was enough for me but the stones are the icing on the cake. Everybody’s super Saiyan form was so unique and fun to play as. I also like the fact that they had items that could smack you out of your Saiyan form.

[@freebobafett]

It's not a Dreamcast exclusive, though. They ported it to the psp.

[@RandomHajile-j7z]

It still is the good old days!

If u buy the first dreamcast console then u can play bootleg games on it using just e regular cd-r data disc😂😂😂i only brought about 5 actual real games marvel vs capcom is the most expensive game ive ever purchased i think i spend 150 on it but its worth it and im sure bout time im 50 the game will be worth 500 to 1000 dollars

[@ayoungtricknamedjim5498]

Shenmue is one of the best video games I've ever played. It blew me away in the same way that playing Metal Gear Solid 1 on the PS1 for the first time did. They're really the only two games I remember playing where I was floored by how good the game was.

[@js100serch]

Here are a couple of hidden gems for you guys: 1- Illbleed: For the survival horror enthusiasts out there. A very bizarre survival horror that takes place on a Horror theme park. It adds a very interesting twist to the survival horror formula. 2- Omikron The Nomad Soul: An open world Cyberpunk game, yes, Quantic Dream did it first!. 3- Evil Twin: If Tim Burton made a video game, this what it probably would have looked like. It is a PAL game so be aware. 4- Wacky Races: Basically Mario Kart with Hanna Barbera characters. 5- MDK2: Bioware made this one, it is a 3rd person shooter in space with very fun characters and story.

[@TynologyGaming]

Love these picks. I should really do a follow-up to this haha

[@takingshape470]

THE standout Dreamcast exclusive for me personally was Project Justice (sequel to the PS1 fighting game Rival Schools). It came out after the Sega announced DC was to be discontinued so maybe a low production rate is why the game holds such high resale price. I treasure that damn game and all its quirkiness.

[@TynologyGaming]

I think I missed it because it was late in life and there were so many great fighting games on the DC. I will definitely check it out!

[@Cakebattered]

I was going to post it too. I bought it used at Gamestop for $15 and eventually sold it for $175. It's got a fun story, so it's fine playing single player.

[@turnbasedtoddy7664]

Great video! I first got mine in the year 2000. I was 15 years old and I wanted the PS2 so bad but you couldn’t get your hands on one so I told my mom she could get me a Dreamcast instead and that was one of the best decisions I’ve made, I still have mine to this day. I must’ve played sonic adventure for hours and hours. Then when Shenmue came out, that pretty much blew my mind.

[@TynologyGaming]

Yesss I love it! I need to revisit Shenmue, it’s been way too long 🥲

[@HollowRick]

You made the right decision as there were no reason to get a PS2 at launch the launch lineup was awful there was literally only like two games worth playing.. Tekken tag tournament and time splitters and neither game at that time looked as good as what was on the Dreamcast the good PS2 stuff didn't start coming until mid 2001 And even then I'd say More 2002 was When the console started to hit its stride there was so much to play on the Dreamcast up until that point

[@kefkahkefkah]

@@HollowRick dont forget SSX to

[@HollowRick]

​​​@@kefkahkefkah that's true actually forgot about that but it still wasn't worth it at that time a ps1 and dreamcast would have served you better which is what I had :) RE code Veronica and Chrono cross were 👌

[@SomeOrangeCat]

Nobody talks about Gundam Side Story 0079 in these lists. If you ever wanted a Gundam game that played like Mechwarrior, you gotta try it.

[@TynologyGaming]

I need to try it! Loved Mech Warrior!

[@Gods_God]

Thanks for showing some love to Dreamcast. I picked one up a few years ago, and absolutely love the thing. That opening screen gave me goosebumps the first time I booted it up. I think the thing could have had a much longer life cycle if they just came out with a new controller that added a second analog stick and bumpers to go along with the triggers.

[@TynologyGaming]

I really wish they could have kept it going. So much potential…

[@jaycee6438]

Funny you mentioned the FPS and controller set up… Quake III Arena was the first FPS I ever played… so when newer FPS games came out, I had to use the “SouthPaw” set up…. Now I am ambidextrous …. better accuracy in “SouthPaw” set up… anyway I still enjoy playing my Dreamcast games…. Top 10: Marvel vs Capcom 2, Project Justice, Alone in the Dark, Capcom vs SNK, Skies of Arcadia, Soulcalibur, Quake 3 Arena, Shenmue, Power Stone 2, Code Veronica X

[@TynologyGaming]

I started playing FPS on PC when mouselook started appearing, so it always felt odd going to controller. Even to this day I’ll always opt for M&K if possible.

[@georgefremd1802]

Only thing I can think you missed was gradius, soldier of fortune, illbleed, carrier, and as popular as Tony hawk was. Dreamcast ports of 1 and 2 were the best versions

[@TynologyGaming]

Ah I loved Soldier of Fortune and contributed to the BlueRetro config for the game to use dual analog sticks! I loved THPS2 on DC and also had 2X on the Xbox which was great as well! I need to make a new list of all the games I didn’t get to back in the day!

Don't forget that you could use the dreamcast keyboard and mouse with quake 3 and maybe unreal as well. These games used the online feature as well

[@TynologyGaming]

Yeah I accidentally cut that part out of the video for some reason. I typically played those on PC back then, and focused on the experience with the DC controller. Fantastic ports and great with M&K (Quake, Unreal and SOF all had support)

Actually, you CAN play the DC versions of Hydro Thunder and Rush 2049 on PS2 and X-Box. Through the Midway Arcade Treasures 3 collection.

[@TynologyGaming]

Good point, but they’re not available on modern consoles and the versions in that collection are basically 1:1 emulation from the Dreamcast versions anyway. Still a good correction though 👌

[@PapaP86]

Maken X was one of the more unique games on the system, pretty interesting combat for the time. I also really enjoyed Silver. Draconus: Cult of the Wyrm is a very solid, underrated game on the system as well.

[@TynologyGaming]

Love it, I never played these, but they kept coming up in lists of hidden gems, I need to check them out for sure

[@xasumiji]

Got my dreamcast last year. Went to waste in total 1500-1700$ on it with 2 controllers, 4 vmus, 3 rumble pack and almost 20 gamed total. Some of them are rare (power stone 1 and 2 and bunch of like really well cared cib) and just recently got a copy of Dynamite Cop. Interested to try it! Love the Dreamcast it has been one of the consoles i wanted so much years ago and i finally got my hands on the only console of this specific generation that i never owned before. Thanks for this beautiful video btw!

[@TynologyGaming]

Such good games. Tomb Raider Chronicles maybe?

[@zzeppelin2400]

I would recommend Silver; a real time rpg with 3D characters on an isometric background. Also, I recommend Suzuki Alstare Extreme Racing. This one feels like your going really fast and fun with split screen vs mode.

Daytona USA and Bass Fishing are all time Sega classics that are oddly missing from this list. Also, D2 is a truly unique classic that is exclusive to DC and a must own.

[@DC-YTC]

If all the 4 consoles that generation had DVD playback and the order of releases were: Dreamcast 99/ Xbox 00/ GameCube 01/ PS2 02. I think it would have been a different story. The Dreamcast not having DVD, Xbox being new to the market & GameCube having no DVD made it too easy to buy a PS2. The Dreamcast is the most Underrated console of all time

[@TynologyGaming]

I agree! It didn’t get its full potential to shine 😭

Dreamcast was truly so far ahead of its time, I had the Sega Game Net hooked up through dial up and it was great to have access to all the games without having the discs. I still have my OG console but haven't played it in a long long time, the last game i completed on it was the Ducati World Racer such a great race bike game for its time. Thanks for the video, it took me back.

Some fps games like Quake 3 arena did support mouse & keyboard. The controller not being dual analogue is the only thing i hate about the dreamcast. Just like Goldeneye on the N64, great game but it puts me of playing it today. I read a thing about putting 2 controllers on the N64 that unlocks dual analogue but i haven't tried it yet.

[@TynologyGaming]

Couldn’t agree more. There wasn’t a session of VT that didn’t end in screaming, laughing so hard I’m crying, or someone rage quitting while still having a blast.

A niche game that I played a lot in the Dreamcast besides all that was already mentioned was Record of Lodoss War:. It played like Diablo, required quite a bit of grinding, but was very satisfying. With a lot of late game content too. And one interesting thing about Quake 3 Arena was that it supported online and you could play competitive fps on the Dreamcast. I'm not sure whether it supported cross platform play with the PC, but the servers were lively back then. I learned to play with the face buttons and got pretty competent back then, managed to beat the single player in the hardest difficulty even!

What about Elemental Gimmick Gear (EGG)? It only ever came out on the Dreamcast. It had (imho) this amazing art direction and atmosphere that was (iirc) in part influenced by the French artist Moebius (Jean Giraud). For rpg's of this era, EGG stepped away from the much over utilized jrpg mechanics and instead created a quirky action rpg that feels like Metroid combined with Zelda. And the soundtrack was super great. The game has a definitive 90s era experimental animation vibe (thinking like MTV's liquid television). Anyways, I've been wanting to play this game for a minute, and your video has motivated me to (re) obtain a Dreamcast console. Cheers!

Nobody knows what stage it was out at the time of the leak. I think everyone's just waiting for something to be confirmed unfortunately.

Ikaruga was also ported to Xbox One, I got it as a free download. Awesome game.

[@PixelShade]

One thing I find a bit sad is how the ports are not as good as the originals. In Sonic Adventures the texture quality is worse, the lighting is not the same, same for Sonic Adventures 2, but it's less atrocious. Crazy Taxi doesn't have the original soundtrack anymore due to licensing issues. It's a shame since people who want to get a taste of Dreamcast from the convenience of modern hardware don't actually get a representative experience of how these games looked. Luckily there are fixes, you can restore the music to Crazy Taxi, and Sonic Adventures 1& 2 have mods that practically restore them to the original glory of the Dreamcast version :) (or at least as close as it can get). These days however, I would just recommend people to use redream. It's such an accurate emulator and easy to use that it is the best way to experience dreamcast games outside of original hardware....

[@TynologyGaming]

I’ve heard the SA ports are crap also. I recorded all the footage for the video on Redream just because it was easier

[@NewGabeOrder]

17:15 This game is also on Game Boy Advance. Speaking of Dreamcast games that got ports on other systems, both Seaman and The Typing of the Dead got ported to the PS2, and use special USB controllers, like the 6-button analog controller and the QWERTY keyboard respectively. Not to mention The Typing of the Dead got a PC port before it hit Dreamcast and PS2.

I do believe you can also get Soul Calibur HD on 360, at least until they discontinue Arcade later this year. Also are there any differences between Powerstone Collection for the PSP and the original Dreamcast titles?

[@TynologyGaming]

Soul Calibur got delisted so it’s not available to purchase anymore. The PSP Power Stone Collection is great but it’s a PSP game which means low resolution, and no same device multiplayer (I made a pinned comment about that and Chu Chu Rocket’s mobile versions as I misspoke in the video)

[@VivaMidnight]

For anyone wondering, there are in fact versions of all three games at the end on other home and handheld systems, not to mention the arcade. I have a Dreamcast myself and would recommend it, but don't feel left out, there are plenty of other ways! One final note, I believe that PC was always the defacto way to play Re-Volt, and preceded the DC version, but it certainly had the best console port.

[@TynologyGaming]

Correct with Chu Chu and Power Stone 2. I didn’t mention them because they aren’t better versions of the game and the multiplayer is where both those games really shine - and the experience is not ideal in either case. There is no other home version of Soul Calibur available (there were digital versions on X360 and mobile phone, but all are delisted). I agree, Re-Volt if you’re playing by yourself, or using a modded version of the game is best on PC, but the most fun I had was in split screen, and that was on DC. Thanks for the input!

[@ayoungtricknamedjim5498]

I learned the hard way that light guns only work with CRTs. I bought House of the Dead 2 and a light gun for the fourth time but now I only have an LED TV. I hear CRTs are going for insane money now because of all the retro gamers.

[@TynologyGaming]

Certain ones (the good ones) are sought after but you can still find them here and there. Problem is you usually have to find them locally because it makes no sense to ship them with their weight.

[@j.goggels9115]

I do NOT recommend playing Phantasy Star Online or Quake III or Bomberman Online or Alien Front Online or Ooga Booga on the Dreamcast because the server is down and anyway broadband hardly started in 1999. So if other ways to play these games are available, feel free to do so. What I would recommend is the 2D arcade shmups Giga Wing 1, Mars Matrix and Gunbird 2, as well as Garou Mark of the Wolves, Project Justice, Dead or Alive 2, Capcom vs SNK Pro and Street Fighter III Third Strike. The arcade quality was super high at the turn of the Millenium and these games do deserve credits for their astonishing quality, including in the story telling. The best racer on the system is Ferarri F355 Challenge by a country mile. Superb. Realistic. Exhilirating. Quality dtiving as well. It's phenomenal. I do NOT recommand any Model 3 port or Saturn follow up with the exception of Sega Bass Fishing and The House of the Dead 2. Sega Rally 2 might run at 10000000 FPS but it's still disappointing. Daytona USA could have nice features if it was not so unplayable. San Francisco Rush is your Daytona USA. I do not recommand 1996 Virtua Fighter 3, because it pales in comparison to the latest releases in the genre. Dynamite Cop is awful, Confidential Mission, Zombie Revenge worse. Sega GT is boring and dull. Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2 has some very good strengths but lacks variety. The huge hype over MSR is partly justified, but I believe what makes MSR special is present in other Dreamcast racers. Skies of Arcadia is mindblowing, Shenmue the greatest game ever made. Grandia II is another outstanding adventure game by GameArts. Up there with the very best. Samba de Amigo tons of fun. Crazy Taxi as well. I love Virtua Tennis. NHL 2K will make you sweat. Ecco the Dolphin... is exactly what you expect... Resident Evil Code Veronica is actually very good for the first half. Very cinematic. Good progression. Blue Stinger is surprisingly OK as long as you keep the television on mute. Worst soundtrack ever for an otherwise decent Survival Horror game. Super Magnetic Neo is a beautiful platformer, on the arcade tradition. Don't expect Rayman 2 from Super Magnetic Neo. Good on its own rights. JetSet Radio and Space Channel 5 have become classics. That's about it.

[@j.goggels9115]

@@TynologyGaming I've changed my mind on Phantasy Star Online. It's a terrific game online and offline but you just have to go through the learning curve (as in every single Phantasy Star game). You can still play online with a hacked ROM.

[@Hanneth]

I bought the Dreamcast for Soulcalibur. I loved playing it so much at Chuck E. Cheese, that I just had to have it at home. Some other people have mentioned Grandia II. My all time favorite game of Dreamcast! Unfortunately I played Grandia II first, so trying to play Skies of Arcadia was a bit of a slog after that. I only got so far into the game after being frustrated by the constant random encounter and lackluster battle system. Grandia II you could sneak around monsters, and how you entered combat mattered. If you ran into the monster, you would get an advantage, if they ran into you, they got the advantage. Yes, Grandia II has been ported many times, and I have quite a few of the ports. The first PC port was okay, but had many graphical glitches, especially in the video integration. The PS2 port was aweful! I've seen many complaints about the ports to the newer consoles. The new PC port is actually really good. There were some early problems, which I didn't encounter, which I think have all been patched. I ended up picking up Grandia for Playstation off of ebay after enjoying the second one soo much. Grandia II is more consistantly good, but I think I enjoyed Grandia more, even if the game starts off a little weak. Unfortunately Grandia III came out in North America for the PS2 about the same time as the PS3 was launching. I think it was MotorStorm I got really sucked into and just never got back to Grandia III.

[@TynologyGaming]

I didn’t include Grandia II on here simply because I never really got around to playing it and I knew it had a modern release. Interesting to know about the port issues! Maybe I should put some time into trying it

[@ptcrusa]

Grandia 2 probably has the funnest combat in any RPG. So much better than Skies of Arcadia's, Final Fantasy IX's, any of its contemporaries really.

[@itsmatt517]

Was Power Stone 2 being counted as only on Dreamcast? Because 1+2 were ported to the PSP

[@TynologyGaming]

Check the pinned comment 👍

[@macuser7048]

Dreamcast ended right before Soul Reaver 2 came out which ended up being an early title for PS2. Kind of crazy since Soul Reaver was originally on the PlayStation and Soul Reaver 2 was going to be on PS-One too so you could carry over your save file like in Shenmue 1 and 2. But because Soul Reaver 2 ended up on a different system with different memory cards, it was impossible to bring over your save file from the first game on either Dreamcast or PS-One. I think because of that the sequel was reworked and didn't continue everything from the first game. That's how you got the cut content that still remained on the disc but you couldn't access any of it by normal means. Think of something similar to the Banjo Kazooie Stop and Swap.

[@TynologyGaming]

That's fascinating! I know people loved Soul Reaver (I think I had it on PS1) - I threw a quick shot in this video of it but cut because I didn't play enough of it to talk confidently on the experience haha

[@mokMan23]

i've noticed that dreamcast ports tend to be worse than their originals, SA1 especially suffering from this. SA2 has a broken rail grinding system which STILL hasn't been fixed by PC modders & there's no dreamcast DLC, to the point where played both games on dreamcast, despite owning them on steam (and PS3, for SA1) for years. i've made few exceptions (shenmue 1+2 on PS4, rez, ikaruga, triggerheart excellia's demo unlocked on 360, and power stone on PSP), mostly due to the price. battle may have more content, but DC's still better imo.

Its not being released. This is why you buy a dreamcast and keep all the games and look after them , like I did 😉. If you buy a loose dreamcast unboxed no cable you can get one for £35-40 pounds u.k 💰. You then buy a equivalent power lead £6 not big adapter plug needed. Then ( this is the important part) buy a kaico adapter its plug and play for hdmi and its pretty darn good more like HD picture. I play it on a 65 inch screen no problem. Add a genuine controller 12 quid . So about 100 pound all in. Most games are still affordable but some you may have to remortgage your house for but it's worth it 👌
