My cousin owned one, soul cal was the craziest shit. I don’t really remember it much, but i still find it crazy that some devs STILL make games for it.
Didn’t have one but this is all i saw when i went to my friends house.
My favorite part of the intro is when they go: nanana nnaanananaaaaaaaaa
PSO was soooo doooooope. Had my Dragon Slayer wit ma HuCAST, little nigga was like whoooom whoooom shiiing whoooom. Monster were like ooooh ooooh AaaaaAAaaahhh
Never forget:
And to cleanse the pallet one of the best fucking games of all time:
Dreamcast holds a lot of nostalgia for me:
–It was the first system I bought with own money. NES, SNES, and N64 were gifts from my parents.
–It was the ONLY system I’ve ever bought on launch.
–After having a middling selection of fighting games on N64(No capcom fighters blech), I loved that so many good fighters were available
CVS2, 3s, Garou MOTW, KOF 98-2002, SC, SFA3, Project Justice. Power stone
I loved the Jet Grind Radio, Virtua Tennis and Shenmue games and part of the impetus to go to Xbox was the sequels to those games.
–Internet connection bult in. Not the most elegant , but a great start.
– Though it was bad for the system, the easy access to bootleg games allowed it to play some import versions of games.
To my knowledge, CVS2 was never released on DC in America, correct?
–CHU CHU ROCKET, my niggaz!!

Another awesome part of my childhood. My dad bought one back when he was in his gaming phase. He had SA1 and 2, Ecco the Dolphin, Crazy Taxi, PSO, Space Channel 5, Shenmue, Sega Rally, and both Power Stone 1 and 2. Our whole family would get together some nights to play some 4-player PS2 matches. It was so much fun. IIRC, he said he wanted to get 3rd Strike, but it didn’t have Fei-long lol. God I miss these days.
Edit: How the hell did I forget MvC2? I’m so ashamed…
Have one in still good working condition with a fuckton of burned classics like Contra: Hard Corps, Castlevania: Bloodlines, all the Sonics, all the Phantasy Stars, and of course, MvC2, Soul Calibur, and the god-tier party game, Power Stone 2.
Seems you motha fuckers forgot:

How could you forget to post this one, Nick? How?
I talked to my mom and thanked her for raising hell in Toys R Us 15 years ago when they lost my pre-order. She wasn’t leaving until I had that system.
I know I walked out there with Power Stone and Blue Stinger - I distinctly remember playing the hell out the first and being disappointed by the latter. Maybe I should actually play Blue Stinger again and give it a proper trial.
Dreamcast is what I consider the end of the golden age - the age of consoles being made with the games in mind first and foremost. Everything else after that has tried to cover up it’s lame launch library by having motion controls or Blu-Ray playback or dancing in front of a camera or some other bullshit - Dreamcast just dropped megaton bombs on it’s launch date, nothing can compete with that library at launch.
Fuckin imgur replaced the Dreamcast cake image I posted so I had to find a new one.
imgur is against the Dreamcast.
imgur is not our friend.
cvs2 is the best dreamcast game 
Good times. I didn’t fap to that DoA hidden shower scene or anything.
The Dreamcast was an amazing system, and the7k is probably right with those remarks. It’s also worth noting the Dreamcast had at least a little something for pretty much everyone. RPGs? Skies of Arcadia stood out, and there were a few other basically decent ones here and there. Fighting games? Obviously we know all the great ones it had, plus there were neat experiments like Tech Romancer/Project Kikaioh and Project Justice (whether they were truly great or not is up for debate, but they were interesting all the same). By most accounts the sports games were okay too, and it even had a few first person shooters of note including Quake 3. Puzzles? Mr. Driller. Platformers… well, Sonic Adventure did fine for its day. Arcade action? House of the Dead was available and there were lightguns of wildly varying quality to play it, along with a keyboard in case you wanted its Typing of the Dead variant. Chances are, whatever you wanted you could find something to suit your tastes. All that, from a system that was only on the general retail market for a few years.
Third parties dabbled in things that seemed pretty weird at the time, like Bleemcast single game emulators for PSX titles such as Metal Gear Solid (and there are some reports they had preliminary success with ‘pack releases’, but I don’t know the full info there). Then there were the first-party titles with their own unusual yet fun ideas. Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio stand out, as many of you have already mentioned. The idea of your memory card also being a functional portable gaming system (kinda, very ‘kinda’) was clever too. The Dreamcast, shortlived as it was, had so many exciting things it tried and it is a shame many of them did not pan out in their time.
Exciting times, to be sure. Sega has fallen far from the 80s and 90s, but the Dreamcast was incredible and I treasure the time we had with the system when it was active.
fuck the haters
Sonic Adventure is a Dreamcast classic
still play it every once in a while even though I have all of the emblems (except the Chao Race ones)
If you’re into arcade games then Dreamcast is your heaven. It helps that most of them were straight NAOMI ports so they were practically arcade-perfect.
