The SLX Sega Dreamcast Top 10

Sega's Dreamcast was a short lived explosion of greatness. What it lacked in long term support, it made up for with a game library that went 0-60 basically from the moment it hit the market. It was difficult choosing, but here are my Top 10 Sega Dreamcast games.

Episode Notes:
1. All games on real hardware via RGB except Skies of Arcadia. I had to capture it via S-Video.
2. I almost made this a top 25 because there are so many other games I wanted to include. But it was already nearly 20 mins long.
3. Multiplayer played a major role in my DC picks because my best friend and I lived together during this time. We played the hell out of stuff like Confidential Mission and House of the Dead 2.
4. Other honorable mentions include: Virtual On OT, Street Fighter 3, Marvel vs Capcom, Vampire Chronicles, Jet Set Radio, Crazy Taxi, Phantasy Star Online, Rez, Dead or Alive 2, and Powerstone 2.
5. Marvel vs Capcom 2 just edged out the first Marvel vs Capcom. I feel the 2 vs 2 formula is better, but appreciated other aspects of part 2 like the huge and varied character list.
6. Many of these games play MUCH better with a Total Control 3 Saturn to Dreamcast adapter. This thing is worth its weight in gold.
7. The ending to Soul Reaver was infuriating. It was even worse when the DC version of part 2 was cancelled.
8. The last few months of 2000 was truly a roller coaster ride as a DC fan. We got stuff like Skies of Arcadia, Grandia II and Shenmue. It was the highest of highs. Then, only a short few months later, Sega pulled the plug on DC, bringing you to the lowest of lows.

Hey could do a video on Dreamcast games that haven't been ported or been remastered on other platforms? I'm thinking about getting a Dreamcast in future but I'd like to know what games are still exclusive to the platform as those are what I seek first if I'm buying a retro console I've never owned before.

[@BoyBlaze2002]

Sega Lord X, I agree with you 100% when you stated that the "fighting genre" (my favorite genre btw) could easily dominate an entire top 10 list of DC games. With that said, do you think you can do a top 10 favorite DC FIGHTING games?? That would be so awesome.

[@devolutionary]

Don't know if this is considered underrated anymore but the first Virtua Tennis is still to this day one of the best tennis games for gameplay. The graphics were amazing for '99 too! Perfect blend of arcade easiness and semi real physics.

[@craigjuan5744]

Really love your list, buddy. Grandia 2 was the first RPG I have ever beaten and it quickly became one of my all time favorite games. I used to own most of these. I miss having my Dreamcast. Also, would love to see you review the Analogue Mega SG soon. Very curious to hear your thoughts.

[@bradleymcavoy3432]

@Chandan Bhatt I Was Impressed by the Sound, To This Day I Think That Game has Some of the Best Audio I’ve Ever Heard, I Think the DC has this Ambient Sound Chip that Only Works if You Hook it Up To The Right Kind of TV and “Throws” Sound at You.

[@Silvergun_Raven]

Man, playing the Dreamcast in 1999-2001 was something truly special to me and that feeling has yet to come back with future gaming consoles.

[@XTheJenovaProjectX]

Giga Force truly a special and unique time to be a gamer. Dreamcast launch was unlike any other launch

[@andrewt6338]

I am currently playing DC and it’s still very impressive.

[@edge6441]

I cannot agree more with you still to this day i cant explain why it felt like that..

[@supersquare]

Totally agree, I wish that era of games was still alive today

[@stevemichael9576]

You said it perfectly. To me it was one of a kind. Came at the perfect time in my life.

[@dougr.8653]

Something that makes the Dreamcast outshine the others is the vibrant colours that the system displays. No other console from that era could produce them like the Dreamcast.

[@naclynerickii]

Not to mention was quite a compact system in comparison to a PS 1 or PS 2 or XBOX. It's quite light weight and durable. Weighs a tad more than a Game Cube but has a smaller height.

[@FoxUnitNell]

@@naclynerickii And luckily it had a good button layout for an era which was still high for fighting games though fps would really start to shine and dominate the console market the next generation with all the modern warfares and blaco ops always getting top sales figures.

[@saynotop2w]

They could, but didn't. GC and XB definitely at the least.

[@rodmunch69]

Naclyn Erick II I don’t live in a mud hut so something being slightly bigger or smaller makes no difference - and I love the Dreamcast, I have four of them. But the reason I have four of them is because 3 of them broke. They’re not durable systems in the least - at least not the GD-Rom. The PS1 broke a lot, the original fat PS2 also broke a lot, the PS2 slim was durable and the XBOX and GameCube have been by far the most durable of the bunch.

[@FoxUnitNell]

@@rodmunch69 hope there is an SD slot solution for the dreamcast - I've seen these sd slot replacements for the saturn and maybe one for the Xbox.

[@BcHmF]

When I saw Soul Calibur on the Dreamcast the first time, my head exploded. Unbeliveable how amazing the graphics where, especially the animations. Shen Mue topped as well again everything I have seen so far. A shame Sega could not succeed with this superb hardware.

[@RARufus]

K. M. I would just sit and watch the katas from Soul Caliber. They were so well done and they had them for all of the characters. Everything about the game was top notch. I couldn’t believe that was on a home system at the time. I completely get why it was rated best on Dreamcast.

[@dougr.8653]

The Dreamcast was shortly lived, but its older brother, the Naomi board, was the king of the arcades for almost 10 years.

[@naclynerickii]

Saturn in Japan lived longer. People were making visual novels up the wazzoo for that system. I think they said 12 years?

[@anibalvitale4502]

the best game of sega is daytona usa

[@maegnificant]

Probably because the arcades were also dying and it wasn't economically anymore to release that many new arcades.

[@chaospoet]

I'm currently playing Skies of Arcadia for the very first time. It's so full of charm that I'm hooked.

[@SegaLordX]

I envy you. That adventure was truly special the first time through.

[@VulpisFoxfire]

I played throught mosrt of the Cube version myself, can't remember if I finished it. Good game.

[@brorianszk]

Enjoy !

[@nastymkfan]

chaospoet I need to check that out then.

[@evshrug]

It’s so good. I’m sad though... as much as I cherish it, I started a fresh playthrough with my wife so that she could experience it, she could not handle the grind and got too bored of the turn-based battles. We did our best, doing our own (sometimes silly) takes on the voice acting, taking turns playing, and I even would grind and level up after she went to bed so that when we played together we could breeze through fights... but sadly she never got invested in the characters or had the sense of wonder for the imaginative locations and scale of conflict. I’ve saved my childhood consoles with the hopes to share them with the next generation, but I fear the gameplay won’t hold up, especially RPGs seem to be fading because they’re too long form.

[@MrSEA-ok2ll]

Soul Calibre on the DC is 20 years old and still stunning to play...this looks fantastic via the VGA output cable.

[@brorianszk]

Soul Calibre ? French spotted ? Yes it still looks really good for sure. I loved watching all the katas with the incredible animations.

[@SNESdrunk]

What! I can't believe you left out _____! _________ is so underrated, and ________ which never came over from Japan is also easily top 10 if not top 5

That's why Mortal Kombat on Sega had blood and yours didn't 😁

[@bradybrapples]

my top 5: 5. Jet Grind Radio 4. Power Stone 3. Crazy Taxi 2. Soul Caliber 1. Skies of Arcadia dreamcast was the first system I was all-in on on launch - was totally worth it. played it waaaaay more than the ps2 i eventually picked up (honorable mention: street fighter alpha 3)

[@GodofWarChuka]

It’s amazing. I bought the Dreamcast at launch and there’s games I never even heard of, lol. But I got mixed up with other systems and games also. N64, PlayStation and Xbox. There’s always been so many games, companies and competition!

[@wsugj]

Grandia 2 on the DC got me into rpgs. I love that game.

[@SegaLordX]

Yeah, it's a good one. I really loved the characters.

[@IslandBoy-808]

@@SegaLordX. I remember playing Grandia 2 on the Dreamcast. I also remember buying it for the PS2 and hating it. Something about the PS2 version just felt off about it.

[@evshrug]

I quite liked the Anime cutscenes, and I was amazed at how much voice acting there was! I wondered during my playthrough if Ryudo would prefer the priestess or the demon, which would “actually” end up being the evil or heroic one, and if we would have to choose which to save. I was satisfied with the ending.

[@chrispacheco8590]

My favorire games really had to be the awesome shooters on the Dreamcast.. -Last Hope -Chaos Field -Zero Gunner 2 -Border Down -Under Defeat -Ikaruga -Dux -Trizeal -Mars Matrix -Bangai-O Oh yeah and I absolutely loved Tokyo Extreme Racer 2..best in the series in my opinion..

[@mic2dl]

I’m thinking of playing through Skies of Arcadia again now thanks to you. I gotta get through Grandia 2 again 1st. I also believe Soul Calibur was and is ahead of its time, I can’t believe how good it still looks on a CRT tv

Getting bored of ps4 time to get back into dreamcast 👍great vid

[@aarongreenfield9038]

One of my fondest memories of the dreamcast, was How amazingly crisp grandia 2 and Marvel vs capcom 2 looked when I got the VGA adapter for my dreamcast, and hooked it up to a VGA monitor. That was when I first got a peek into the future of what games were going to look like from then on.

[@SegaLordX]

Hell man, I still am impressed with a DC on a VGA monitor. A freaking 1998 console at that...

[@aarongreenfield9038]

@@SegaLordX. A lot of the games still stand up amazingly well even to this day. Two of the standouts that I had that I can remember most vividly are dead or alive 2, and soul caliber!

[@nikkiwileman7033]

The dreamcast looks amazing now still going through a vga to hdmi adapter up scaler!

[@peristrojka]

Tokyo highway challenge 2 and Metropolis street racer are definitely in my top 5.

[@mole28]

Awesome video! Skies of Arcadia is one of my two favorite RPG's ever (the other being Chrono Trigger). Every two years or so i play this game from start to finish, indeed because of the amazing story and very good written characters. Even graphically it still is amazing! Sega should really bring this to modern consoles, maybe only changing the random encounters with invisible enemies (make them visible or something like that). The only game i missed in this top ten is Crazy Taxi, i still consider this game as a contender for BEST-GAME-EVER ! And on my list i would've listed Rez, simply because that game rocked! The Dreamcast is, just like all Sega's consoles, absolutely fantastic! Some people have one console as their favorite, but i could never choose between the holy trinity from Sega. So i have the Megadrive, Saturn and Dreamcast on my number one spot in my console top 10!

[@evshrug]

LOVED Skies, only just now getting a chance to play Chrono Trigger for the first time (amazing music score, I’ve already listened through the soundtrack on a road trip). Crazy Taxi is a game I forgot I actually owned until I looked at my shelf just now. A very faithful arcade game with super smooth framerate, but for me the fun ran out after “a few quarters worth” of playtime. You can say I have bad taste, but I had more fun with couch multiplayer games like Rippin Riders, ReVolt, and San Francisco Rush 2047 - the latter of which had great arcade racing but also awesome stunt modes and battle modes! Some of my friends had Mario Kart, Golden Eye, and Super Smash Bros, but at my house we’d gang up and witness CRAAAAZY stunts with absurd high scores in Rush, Virtua Tennis Feuds, and played the crap out of my demo disc with PowerStone (because I wasn’t allowed to BUY fighting games, lol!). Championship Surfer was just a bad game, lol.

[@xcom457]

mmm top 10 is very difficult! but...: 1) Shenmue 1 & 2 2) Dead or Alive 2,Soul Calibur,Rival Shool 2 3) Metropolis Street Racer,F335 Challenge,Virtua Tennis 2,NBA 2K2,NHL 2k2,NFL2K2 4)Capcom vs SNK 2,Marvel vs Capcom 2,Street Fighter 3 Third Gen,Street Fighter Alpha 3,King of Fighters 98-99 (special edition for Dreamcast),Garou Mark of the Wolf 5) Resident Evil Code Veronica 6) Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 7) Skies of Arcadia,Grandia 2 8) Crazy Taxi 1 & 2 9) Jet Set Radio 10) Power Stone 1 & 2 much good game: Outriggers,Virtua Striker 2000,Zombie Revenge,Sega Rally 2,Virtua Fighter 3,The Spawn,Cannon Spike,Ikaruga,Trikstyle,HeadHunter,4 Wheel Thunder and much games conversion to pc and others console games.....

[@evshrug]

Of course a Dreamcast Top-10 list would feature 28 games 😂 I don’t disagree with any of your choices! However, I never played Virtua Tennis 2... played the first game for YEARS though! Great party game!

[@xcom457]

@@evshrug ok ^^ the best method to play it now and on android via emulators: Redream or Retroarch (slycast) .I use an original Dreamcast or a Smartphone (Xiaomi Redmi note 8). PC emulators work but are not optimized like Android ones, some games have several video artifacts.

[@stevphiericardo2790]

Can you imagine if they remake Lunar series for Dreamcast...so much potential machine back in the day...

[@satnav1980]

I was in love with this system. I played Tony Hawks Pro Skater for 6 hours a day, everyday. It was fucking radical man.

[@iPlaySEGA]

Oh man no ♥ for Phantasy Star Online Vers. 2...? :(

[@evshrug]

That was one of the first games I didn’t beat. There was an interesting world but almost no plot or story like the Genesis games. I felt like it was made for multiplayer; picking a melee character in my first play through made the bosses really difficult, so I started over with a gun/ranger character who had a much easier time... but in a world of plasma swords and techno-magic, it was really boring to pew pew pew - waaaaait - pew pew pew.

[@jasperrin8241]

Skies of Arcadia number 1! Agree 💯

[@MeltdownwithNeoplasmic]

By far my favorite console of all time! I remember the first time I saw NFL 2K, which was being demoed at a Software Etc. in a shopping mall. I was blown away by the graphics and presentation. I honestly thought it was an actual broadcast at the time, lol. As for the games, my top ten would probably contain games like MvC2, Project Justice, and Cannon Spike. I loved the arcade experiences the system was so capable of reproducing at home. Such a great console! And a wonderful video, Sega Lord X! Great work as usual.

[@MrTheAntisocial]

Just seeing Skies of Arcadia has the feels rushing back, absolutely adored that game.

[@schooltrashers]

I love my Dreamcast. The game I played the most on it was Shenmue. The first game I owned on it was Sonic Adventure. My favorite fighting game on there is Power Stone. I also love the arcade light gun action that House Of The Dead 2 had. So many games I've enjoyed on the Dreamcast, it is definitely my favorite Sega console.

[@SegaLordX]

It's hard not to love that DC library. So many good games in the span of like 2 years. It was epic.

[@andybrinks3784]

Great vid mate! Makes me a bit sorry I missed Dreamcast. You should definitely do part 2 of this with the other 10!

[@christophersavart5589]

Great selection, I personally would have included Powerstone. I still believe sega should have fought harder because ps2 first 2 years software were pretty abismal compared to the dreamcast imo.

[@SegaLordX]

Sega was a company in financial turmoil by 2001. When they left the hardware business, it was because they quite literally couldn't afford it anymore. They were close to complete collapse.

[@evshrug]

Sega Lord X • I wonder what could have saved them? As quirky as some of the games were, many were just solid quality instant classics. I’ve heard some say the DC and Sega failed because it was possible to download games and burn discs, but I don’t think that was the broader issue. There was that one creep in my school who bragged about “uncapping” his internet speeds and pirating movies; he probably knew how to pirate games too (aaand he had no friends). However, most everyone else didn’t have broadband or even CD burners yet. I think there was just too much emotion about the 32-Bit generation that already had Sega set up for failure. I liked my Genesis and the Sega arcade games were among other great ones, but only one kid at my school got a Saturn (different kid, rich, though he was also kind of a superiority jerk in his own way) and plenty of people never even knew Sega made a 32-bit system, while Nintendo and Sony built up massively loyal fan bases with lots of hope for the future. The first two years of PS2 might’ve been abysmal, but people were always thinking the next Final Fantasy VII was right around the corner (plus, for parents, the PS2 made a great DVD player).

[@AlexCole272]

ps2s had DVD compatibility, and yes, that was a huge plus.

[@pasqualparade5799]

yeah powerstone missing too

[@BigMoliSmooth]

Growing up on Sega, I miss Sega making consoles. I wonder how it would have been if Sega would of had more faith in the Dreamcast and gave it a chance to last.

This video was actually due out earlier this week, but I kept playing the games instead of editing the videos. Says a lot about how good they are.

[@jhock9171]

Awesome video as always! I love the Dreamcast. I remember getting it at launch along with Soul Calibur and my jaw absolutely dropped when seeing that intro sequence and playing that game. I couldn't believe that little white box was producing that on my TV and was blown away to find out the intro sequence was done by the in game engine. Likewise House of the dead 2 blew me away as well. The game was absolutely gorgeous and a complete blast in multiplayer. Was great having the rumble packs in the light guns for pseudo recoil action. One of my most awesome memories was playing Outtrigger with the official broadband adapter, keyboard and mouse. Definitely the future of console gaming at the time. Edit: and VOOT with twinsticks is amazing (never got the DC ones but have the Saturn ones)

Got Skies Of Arcadia when it received the Legends Gamecube re-release. Thought it was worth trying but didn’t expect much from an older game being brought over to the ‘cube. Wow, was I wrong. The sense of adventure and exploration blew me away. Somewhere along the line I lost my copy but then dropped $170 to reacquire it so I could relive the game during the pandemic. Holds up perfectly, and was an utter joy to experience again after all this time. An unforgettable classic.

[@bananonymouslastname5693]

The Dreamcast is possibly the hardest system for me to put together a top 10 for, mostly because moreso than any other console, my mood affects my choices, making it more fluid, as it has such distinct games. I don't know about order, but on average it probably contains: Blue Stinger Giga Wing Langrisser Millennium Capcom vs SNK Power Stone Guilty Gear X Border Down Bangai-O Crazy Taxi Tokyo Extreme Racer On another day, NFL 2K, Mars Matrix, Cosmic Smash, or Trigger Heart Excelica (or even something else) might jump in. It's just such a fun, memorable system to play. Even the "B-sides" like Armada, Industrial Spy, or Treasure Strike offer up a great time. I mean, I spent many a night with friends playing Fur Fighters, Toy Commander, and Chef's Luv Shack. Just too much awesome.

First off, I really like your videos. The info and the games you select to showcase are usually top notch. This video is no different. My Dreamcast experience was less than stellar. I bought one not too long after launch and really had nothing but trouble from it. The memory card died on me within the first week, not the battery (guy at store made me buy their replacement cells) and still lost hours of progress several times. A new card was the same for me. I ended up returning it within 3 weeks and stuck to the Playstation line. I was sorely disappointed with the system as a whole. Years later, I found a NIB system for stupid cheap and bought it. Strangely enough, the memory card still had data on it. What's really weird is that a few months ago, I pulled it out of the closet and the system still functions (CD drive appeared to work as well), then checked the memory card after a couple of years of being in a box with the rest of the system and the data is still there. I just wish the first one I bought had that kind of reliability.

Both Shenmue games were outstanding at the time, they were different than any other ordinary game ever released. "Get up! I allow to die like a warrior." ( goosebumps)

[@mitchnissen7175]

Up until the top 2 it was as if you were reading from my own Dreamcast collection! Great list! Border Down is an immensely underrated classic!

[@mrmanjumac3454]

Good callout on Garou. I love that game Also Power Stone 2 is hands down the most fun party game I have ever played. It's like Mario Party with all the item and stage randomness but then with the added skill of actually fighting. Also the smaller bonus stages always brought insane chaos. 1 was like a tiny waiting room and the other was simply 3 steel beams that you balance on while you fought. Fun times

[@ikindalikewater3253]

Great vídeo, great games and a great console! I would add Shadowman, MDK 2 and Ecco the Dolphin to the list!!

[@SpencerPuryear]

Ita been so wonderful to see the Dreamcast continuing to get new releases every year. Would love to see Sega follow the trend and begin releasing games themselves again. Seems to be a strong market for DC still.

Loved this video!

[@princegroove]

The Dreamcast must be my favorite console from Sega; I own two white and a black Sports edition, all boxed. Power Stone 1 and 2, Skies of Acadia, and Sonic 1 and 2 are my top games. The first time I hooked up the Nomi VGA box my retinas were fried upon exposure to Soul Calibur’s visuals. I’d love to a see a Dreamcast-mini, maybe? Awesome video, Lord Sega.

[@Rosa_Canina]

You, my friend, have great taste. Especially Soul Reaver and Grandia 2 are incredible.

[@randomrob3715]

My top 5 In no order Crazy taxi Soul calibre Virtua tennis Powestone 2 Shenmue

[@zodiak1512]

Good list. Skies of Arcadia is also my favorite Dreamcast game, although I prefer to play the Gamecube version, as the battles are much quicker and has some extra content as well. I am torn whether this or Final Fantasy 3 (6) is my favorite RPG of all time. On a side note, the Dreamcast is the only Sega console I ever owned, and I do not regret my day 1 purchase of the system. Not a big Sega fan, but I really enjoy your channel.

[@crazyjake536]

Played through SoA on a 60" FullHD Plasma TV with the Dreamcast connected to it via VGA to HDMI adapter and DolbyProLogic2 5.1 surround sound. Same with Shenmue 1+2. Awesome games!

[@JGKingCrusher]

Armada was my favorite game on that system. Loved it!

[@viewtifuljoe99]

Enjoyed hearing the reasons for each pick on the list! I feel like after listening to why you liked Skies of Arcadia so much that you'd enjoy the Legend of Heroes Trails in the Sky games on PSP/PC since they excel at writing great characters

[@andrewvanhalen1984]

Just bought a Dreamcast, totally going to buy some of these games!

[@MaidenHell1977]

SOUL REAVER, I love it sooo much!! My Dreamcast is off being fixed right now due to lack of audio/video output, so watching this is making me extremely anxious to get get it back, haha Fantastic vid as awlays.

[@SegaLordX]

My FZ-10 3DO recently died on me. Damn motor on the drive went out.

[@CoolStevie]

Great Video once again.

[@asianassassin5082]

Phantasy star online was memorable but skies was great too good choice.

[@musecoem]

Amazing to see Border Down and Confidential mission in a top 10.

[@jkemp6791]

Congrats on another great video, SLX. Your #1 is the perfect pick. I experienced Skies of Arcadia years after it released and it has held up remarkably well (sans the Dreamcast loading times). Some people prefer the GCN release, but the incredible music got nerfed.

[@SegaLordX]

I say play Skies of Arcadia any way you can. At least until Sega gets off its ass and gives us a Skies of Arcadia remaster or sequel.

[@justanotherlikeyou]

Wow, Mark of the Wolves getting the first honorable mention, respect👍

[@holgerwagner4942]

Me and my friends played soul calibur and the house of the dead 2 so many times, but this games makes still so much fun. I still love carrier and blue stinger.

[@fearanarchy]

The game that sold me on a DC was Sega Bass Fishing. For me, the DC had so many Arcade style games that worked smoothly it was basically a Neo Geo in that way.

[@ronsilk6212]

I can remember walking past an EB games and stopping to watch Crazy taxi and i couldn't believe my eyes. Then when i bought one i got test drive la mans - nhl 2k1 and Sword of the berserk guts rage. I was wowed. Skies of arcadia. Best jrp ever. Love the dreamcast

[@Footender]

1. Phantasy Star Online 2. Soul Calibur 3. Capcom vs SNK 2 4. Marvel vs Capcom 2 5. Tony Hawk 2 6. Skies of Arcadia 7. San Francisco Rush 2049 8. NHL 2K 9. Power Stone 10. Gauntlet Legends

[@SegaLordX]

NHL 2K was a great game, II agree.

[@mostverticalproductions4808]

Midway and Capcom were a force to be reckoned on the DC. Rush 2049 looked beautiful on DC.

[@Sdramsay1977]

Great video! I'm torn between Skies of Arcadia and Soul Calibur myself for the top spot. I've never even heard of Border Down, will check it out, thanks!

[@TheBeggies95]

Skies of Arcadia easily for me
