[@Silvergun_Raven]

I've been collecting for the Dreamcast since 9/9/99. Still one of my favorite consoles :)

[@thatvideogamesshow]

You have good taste sir!

[@kitsunemetal]

That Video Games Show i have just been starting to play dreamcast again and man i missed playing it especially shenmue.

[@gchijioke12]

Power Stone 1 & 2, San Francisco Rush 2049, Sonic Adventure, Jet Grind Radio, Tony Hawk Pro Skater, Vigilante 8, Unreal Tournament.

[@MarvinMr305]

I love collecting for the Dreamcast it's such a great system...very underated.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Totally agree... I wish it had been received better and Sega might still have been making consoles!

[@MarvinMr305]

That Video Games Show yes...I love my Dreamcast I still play it daily...love it!!

[@cinetici]

That Video Games Show making good games too, which is not the case nowadays

[@fernandopaxeco7709]

Sin City Games I also still play mine. Gotta love it😏✌❤💘

[@PapaP86]

I loved it, I still have my original from years back and still works. I recently bought a backup with 4 original controllers and a VMU and got 2 brand new in box blue VMUs. I had a pretty good library from it for years ago and I'm so happy I picked up Cannon Spike for $15 used way back when. I recently picked up Episode 1 Pod Racer and I'll probably collect a few games I'm interested in here and there. In the grand scheme of things, the Dreamcast is probably my favorite overall consoles of all time. It had a such a unique library and "clean" feel to the interface and how everything worked I don't think any console has done before it, or since. The Xbox 360, then original Xbox are probably next in line for my favorite all time consoles after it.

[@benjaminharris7207]

Still waiting on that Dreamcast Classic Edition.....

[@waverazor]

At games got chu

[@DynastyHeroes]

I think they would struggle getting the rights to alot of the great games like Marvel vs Capcom, Soul Calibur etc. They might put alot of shovelware on it.

[@geo1art]

Been 3years and still waiting

[@Terminal_Apotos]

Others have said the end result would be too expensive compared to other mini consoles

[@willianbeltran5739]

jet set radio and crazy taxy!!

[@molo-molo5103]

Willian 3Typen JET SET RADIOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@lordscott7552]

Shenmue of course :D

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Of course haha

[@cooloneuk]

When my Dreamcast game collection was in its prime, I had 65 games. Out of your top ten list only Skies of Arcadia was missing from my collection. Other titles I think should be worth mentioning are Quake 3 Arena, Crazy Taxi, Fur Fighters, Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future, Headhunter, MDK2, Rayman 2, Ready 2 Rumble Boxing, Shadow Man and Wacky Races.

[@Tomiko4Ever]

Great list! Skies of Arcadia is my personal favorite Dreamcast game 😀💕

[@monkeyrobotsinc.9875]

That's cuz ur a girl....

[@KayMayhem777]

@monkey these days just because it LOOKS or even sounds like a girl doesn't mean it is one. Ugh, I don't like but its life... For now.

[@David030973]

Shenmue really was a gamechanger. I love those old games. Shenmue and Ecco the Dolphin.....

[@Ekraelum]

The Dreamcast is a gem.

[@CrimsonFantasy]

Skies of Arcadia is the shit

[@thatvideogamesshow]

You have good taste sir!

[@bboydrew71]

Still playin the dreamcast in 2018

[@jonnyhog1002]

My top 3 are Shenmue 1 and 2 and the first game I ever played "The Nomad Soul" and over the years my Dreamcast actually gets better because it gets plugged in to bigger TVs

[@StellarAudyssey]

VGA box?

[@samuraigundam0079]

Shenmue 1 & 2 are such classics. I can’t wait for part 3!

[@mikeoxlong567]

So how was 3? Lol

[@FranMatsusaka]

D2, Project Justice, Grandia 2, Capcom Vs SNK 2...

[@dominicpedrazzini6550]

I remember this game called fur fighters that me and my siblings had lots of fun with

[@TheRealDustinNunn]

If I had a Sega Dreamcast, I would get Sonic Adventure 1, SoulCalibur, Capcom's fighting games, SNK's fighting games, Mortal Kombat Gold, Virtua Fighter 3 and Dead or Alive 2.

[@calebfielding6352]

Toy Commander and Star Lancer should be on this list

[@jetfire3090]

great video...just subbed and looking forward to your upcoming videos.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed the video!

[@darkwitch8648]

DOA2, Vampire Chronicle for Matching Service, Sonic Adventure, Jet Grind Radio, Crazy Taxi, Outtrigger, Spider-Man, Mortal Kombat Gold, Soul Caliber.

[@clydefrosch]

ive often tried my hands at jet set radio and i never got it. the skating part always felt really bad

[@joefrazier4th]

loved MSR back inthe day. nice to see it on the list.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Thanks for watching =) Same here one of my favourite racers!

[@SkillJim]

Love your Sega episodes dude....obviously :D

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Haha thanks Skill. Got a top ten Megadrive video after the Gamecube hidden gems episode!

[@lassellie5770]

Aaaah I love Skies of Arcadia. It'd my favorite game.

[@hansliengnell3636]

A great list!

[@Kris451]

What font do you use for your title in the video?

[@yellowdockooo5907]

What was the name of the soundtrack or song that started playing during Phantasy Star Online?

[@AyeGameBae]

My mom knew nothing about video games. Before that I had my sega genesis and I was so jealous of my cousin who had a PlayStation and a N64 and she'd always rub it my face. 😭 So I had this feeling of envy and resentment. But then my mom went on a business trip in london and she bought me a Dreamcast with Soul Calibur, Crazy Taxi, and Resident Evil: Code Veronica (I was too scared to play that one 😂) Three top tier games for the Dreamcast. When I think about it, there must have been a sales rep at the store who went above and beyond to help my mom pick up three awesome games for her 12 year old son back in Ghana. Best part it was a total birthday surprise. It makes me so immensely proud to have had play these awesome games.

[@LukesGamePage]

Playing Mass Effect for the first time reminded me of Phantasy Star, good times.

[@avilajairo74]

I love my Dreamcast

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Best console ever!

[@avilajairo74]

That Video Games Show indeed it is 😁😁

[@KING_KONK]

Dreamcast 4 lyyyfeeeee

[@MonsterKollector]

Agree with all of these. Just needs Powerstone 2

[@TheAlienwarewolf]

Shadow Man and Hydro Thunder should make the list.

[@LG-ro5le]

Shadowman is one of the best games if no the best horror game of all time, its not just a dreamcast game though it came out on every console of the time even pc

[@CoolstoryBrotech]

Grand theft auto 2 is one of the best games on Dreamcast as well

[@SwankeyMonkey]

Wow. I couldn't even make a *Top Ten Must Have Dreamcast Games* per genre, if I was pressed. The DC had a wealth of top tier titles, unlike other consoles' libraries that were filled with shovelware.

[@FNRZ350]

Are you using an emulator or are you using an addon for ur dreamcast?

[@viktor_v-ughnda_vaudville_476]

Skies of Arcadia was an awesome game and I’m not a big turn based rpg fan but that was a gem for sure

[@jadestep9624]

SoulCalibur is my favorite DreamCast game. While the SoulCalibur series is my favorite fighting game franchise of all time. I grew up on it and own plus beaten every installment in the series. (SoulCalibur VI will be awesome later this year in 2018!)

[@nastymkfan]

1. Virtua Fighter 3tb 2. Zombie Revenge 3. Power Stone 1 & 2 4. Mortal Kombat Gold 5. Capcom vs SNK 6. Grandia 2 7. Ready 2 Rumble 1 and Round 2 8. Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 9. Shenmue 10. Skies of Arcadia (I’ve never played the game but looks brilliant.)

[@Mrx.123]

My favorite are headhunter,sword of the berserk,code Veronica,sonic 2,shenmue and jet set radio

[@snoopdoggdankkush9285]

REZ IS SO UNDERRATED!!!! I love love love it (:

[@JulioCesar-jn7pf]

Sonic adventure 1 & 2 was the best...period

[@dangushumangus]

power stone much?

[@elianr3028]

WHAT ABOUT MARVEL VS CAPCOM????????????????? How could u forget that...

[@elianr3028]

Lol JK just saying I loved Marvel Vs Capcom

[@ericdleon]

Even one year later nobody cares

[@waverazor]

Too many good fight games on dc

[@djbryanladd]

Dreamcast should have had a dvd.

[@halo3odst]

Dreamcast doesnt NEED a DVD player.

[@jabbaspalace508]

@@halo3odst Agreed it doesn't need one but if it had 1 back then it would have been more competitive

[@halo3odst]

To the wrong crowd however.

[@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess]

The face the DC failed commercially is @ the same time good and bad, it's good cause people don't know much about it so games are mostly cheap and the consoles too. But it's bad cause not as many were made, so there aren't that many in the second hand market compared to other consoles that sold a lot like the PS2 that you can find used ones on Craigslist or other sites for cheap night and day

[@anonymoususer6683]

Rayman was a beautiful game

[@salesmotorco6223]

What about Power Stone 1+2?

[@darkzerox2555]

Id like to nominate Zombie Revenge. Great arcade game👍

[@thatvideogamesshow]

I’ve heard good things about that one. I’ll have to give it a go!

[@CasperEgas]

Great selection of games. Don't really like Ikaruga though. Radiant Silvergun on the Saturn was much better in my opinion. For the Dreamcast, maybe I would choose Mars Matrix or Giga Wing instead. I would not choose MSR for a racing game, but go for Crazy Taxi instead.

[@mechanbarclay6963]

Let's get CRAZY!...Taxi

[@lvl5Vaporeon]

Wow a Sega Hard Girls figurine? Didn't expect that. I was a fan of the homebrews over Ikaruga actually. Ever hear of Sturmwind?

[@chrisliam2]

My top 10 in no particular order..... 1) Illbleed 2) Blue Stinger 3) D2 4) Power Stone 1&2 5) Shenmue 1&2 6) Project Justice 7) Napple Tale 8) Sonic Adventure 9) Soul Calibur 10) Phantasy Star Online I love Skies of Arcadia but prefer the gamecube version now.

[@adamcochran1309]

Your like the only other person that likes blue stinger as much as me.. fucking weird ass game.

[@chrishensley5384]

I hope Sega puts out a Dreamcast mini. I lucked out and got a ton of stuff from Gamestop when it was being liquidated. What a shame I no longer have any of it. I need some Power Stone back in my life.

[@monkeyrobotsinc.9875]

Why does everyone always forget to mention the best game on Dreamcast, blue stinger!?! Wtf.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Dude blue stinger is awesome!

[@code988yay]

Can i have a list of all the games so i can look into it?

[@TrayGChevorletCorvette]

code988 google bruh

[@divionlilman]

Y'all should check it bangai-o or something like that out called. It's a hidden gem

[@djjbras]

Power Stone! MvC! Love those games too. Nice list though.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Great games man! I played a lot of Power Stone 2 with my brother back in the day... that game was hectic haha. Thanks for watching.

[@moogibeans9822]

Skies of Arcadia is the best. I have it for both Dreamcast and Gamecube. Any jrpg fan should definitely try it.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

All about Skies of Arcadia! Such a great game I absolutley love the art style.

[@fahast]

The background music is from Ace Combat 2 !

[@cybercity79gaming46]

Imo Soul Caliber still looks good today

[@mykalchchin8163]

vitual on.

[@user-dv2hc8zt3o]

Nice video bro but you forgot Marvel vs Capcom 2, Project Justice and RE2+3, those games belong in every Dreamcast collection!

[@leecroft7311]

BlueStinger. If you have a Dreamcast you must play this game. Sure it's bad but it's a good bad game, like those good bad movie's that you can't help in enjoy (my top favourite good, bad movie, Master's of The Universe)

[@RetroPowerUp]

No surprise seeing Shenmue at the top of your list :) The only reason I ever owned a Dreamcast was because of Soul Calibur. I really wish I had more than three games when I first got the DC. All I had was Soul Calibur, Mortal Kombat Gold and Time Stalkers.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Haha you know it =p Yeah Soul Calibur was the one! I never played MK Gold wasnt that one based off MK 4?

[@RetroPowerUp]

Yes! It was the Dreamcast "exclusive" port of MK4. I personally was not a big fan of it, coming from MK3 and MK Trilogy.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

MK Trilogy was the one! I remember saving for MONTHS and picking up the big box PS1 version when I was younger. Man I miss those games!

[@catherineholmes8423]

Hey this is pretty good.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Thanks bud!

[@akshatghai113]

Max Steel, Rayman 2, Soul reaver, Blue stinger, Tomb raider, Airforce delta, Urban Chaos, Spiderman??

[@RealHexJoker]

sonic adventure was my childhood

[@ortkuenstler7123]

who does not renember the Kitten from shenmue? true magic moment.

[@johnd5307]

Cool video😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

[@dof2477]

Where's sonic adventure 2? If you have Dreamcast, this game is must-have, one of the best games I've ever played for my entire life.

[@R.O157]

Ahead of its time

[@JS_2099]

Holy crap. Looks like most, if not all, of this gameplay footage is somehow rendering at 16x9 with expanded viewing area on the sides. How is this possible?

[@reservoirdog1]

flycast?

[@Andrew-ol6ru]

The DREAMCAST is back online

[@fernandopaxeco7709]

The irony is that the Dreamcast is the best console and the only one who didn't work out

[@SwankeyMonkey]

The flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long.

[@pstuddy]

damn that's deep bruh...respect

[@thesch2867]

Steven Lee I think the Dreamcast was cheaper than the PS1.... But that didn't matter most were already waiting for the PS2 since the Saturn was a let down especially in the US.

[@paulw.9015]

Dreamcast was like $250

[@TheFishE77Official]

Paul Whitemon The hell are you talking about? $250? You got ripped off then. I still have (and play) my 9/9/1999 console, receipt for it says $199.99 plus tax. Look up the launch price even, between 179 and 199, never did it reach 250.

[@iidirectxii7545]

One of my favourite gaming system's. Many people say that Sega should make a Dreamcast 2. While the idea sounds amazing i feel that it would be hugely disappointing. Sega isn't the same company they use to be.

[@mohamedheyzen6422]

II DIRECTx II so true man, so true

[@ZBR_ProXP]

System’s what?

[@AlienSneak]

Best console ever.

[@bongojones2027]

Soul Calibur was unmatched.

[@SRPC21]

No particular order: 1. Worms: Armageddon 2. Sonic Adventure 3. Sonic Adventure 2 4. Crazy Taxi 5. Power Stone 6. Power Stone 2 7. Marvel vs Capcom 8. Resident Evil: CV 9. Quake: Arena 10. Puzzle Bubble

[@VTH223]

Samuel Coe Don't forget SEGA Rally 2 and Daytona USA 2001

[@Choomachech]

I had 8 of 10.

[@howardbetty4490]

WHAT ABOUT SONIC ADVENTURE 2!!!!

[@Zontar82]

for me code veronica is the latest good RE ever made. they should have gone with a similar style and camera, ratehrthan the crappy ones we have now

[@Mrx.123]

Totally agree!!!

[@Mr.Monky420]

So Jet Set Radio was released in Japan first...then when it came to North America it was called Jet Grind Radio?

[@TrayGChevorletCorvette]

Bob Ross yea

[@Tippotipo]

Blame the trademark issue.

[@ps2freak867]

10. Sonic Adventure 2 9. Jet Grind Radio 8. Resident Evil 2 7. Phantasy Star Online 6. Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 5. Record of Lodoss War 4. Skies of Arcadia 3. Crazy Taxi 2. Soulcalibur 1. Shenmue Honorable Mentions: - Crazy Taxi 2 - Tony Hawk Pro Skater - Power Stone - Power Stone 2 - Ikagura - Rayman 2 - Seaman - Hydro Thunder

[@dink7458]

Why isn't sonic adventure 2 I the list

[@retro__glitch1572]

i have the japan edition of soul caliber i'm not selling it until the game super rare

[@AgentXRifle]

Seaman!

[@hiddencateye6878]

Sa2 is pretty good better than sa1 I might be getting a dreamcast soon hopefully

[@wofferful]

You forgot Omikron: The Nomad Soul

[@masterdrewt6698]

1:13 is it still playable?

[@cory99991]

Yea it can be played single player. It's not nearly as good but I'd still recommend playing it just to experience it. Also he says clearly in the video it can still be played single player.

[@masterdrewt6698]

Cory Smith Okay

[@terrykohut1651]

i never bought resident evil code veronica cause i have it for the ps2. that being said ive played it for the ps2 and not the dreamcast.

[@brendanroberts7949]

I wish people would put my at the start of these list as it's all down to that persons tastes.

[@cory99991]

..... It's kind of implied that when someone makes a list it's their picks.

[@mregg2612]

D2 Illbleed Sonic adventure 1/2 Rez Shenmune Jet grind radio Tony hawk 2 House of the dead GTA 2

[@monkeyrobotsinc.9875]

Uhh blue stinger

[@Texasmilitarydepartmentvid9654]

Starwars Demolition

[@razorjake6839]

its amazing that the Dreamcast graphics are like PRE-PS2. The mistake that Sega made was not investing that extra dollar into DVD and instead went for the GCD. I feel that if they did make that extra investment, the Dreamcast would still be in the console race and probably prevail over even the PS4. Sony took note of this and actually recalled their design and went with the DVD technology. So, Sony pretty much benefited from Sega's mistake. I know the extra dollar would of been for EACH game, BUT.... That would of been a smart investment, considering they would of made MORE in the end. XD I wonder if there's an alternate universe with an ongoing Dreamcast franchise, lol. Like, Dreamcast 4 or 5 or something.

[@48hourrecordsteam45]

Lina Inverse ....the controller should have just been a Saturn controller with twin analogs and the vmu screen...with built in rumble .

[@SharifSourour]

Sega is still great, check out the Ryu ga Gotoku series.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Thanks for the tip man, will check it out!

[@SharifSourour]

referral madness Because I play it in Japanese. I've been playing (what will be called) Yakuza 0 in Japanese for 2 years already! It's only coming to North America this year...

[@SharifSourour]

referral madness This is true... I'm happy my Japanese is good enough to make these games easily playable; but yeah, learning Japanese is not for everybody. LOL :D

[@DominikSobolewski]

The irony is that almost all the games listed here are on the Gamecube.

[@Drvm614]

sonic power stone knight's

[@GeoNeilUK]

Aspect ratio OCD gets #triggered ...eyelid begins to twitch... I still think that when online games get killed by the developer, the developer should opensource the server software and maybe officially patch the game to use thrid party servers. Skies of Arcadia is a beautiful game even on Reicast. This needs to be a franchise and Sega needs to play a part in improving Reicast IMHO. Jet Set Radio, another game that could have been, should have been a franchise. I think the closest you could get to the VMU would be to link games to a mobile app. Shenmue - the game that doesn't work on an emulator (Reicast doesn't keep the time and date)

[@PTGKChrisHD]

Ikaruga, Rez, & Metropolis Racers are definitely NOT a must have Sega Dreamcast Game. I would switch those titles with Marvel Vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes, Power Stone 2, and Crazy Taxi Honorable Mentions: Capcom Vs. SNK: Millenium Fight 2000, The House of the Dead 2, & Sega Smash Pack Vol. 1

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Thanks for sharing your opinion man.

[@kevinvandorst]

How can you forget Grandia 2 ??? IMO it's EVEN BETTER then skies of arcadia.
