Top 10 Sega Dreamcast Games

Ihsan Magazine - still remember this one game console? yupzzzzzz! for you are a gamer in 80ers - 90ers must remember with console games pioneered by sega

History Lesson:

The SEGA Dreamcast was a system that many would say was way ahead of its time and a system many would argue was taken from us far too young. Before it was cool to participate in online gaming on a console, Dreamcast had it. Before it was cool to speak to your games, Dreamcast had a microphone. Because of a grand list of shenanigans on everyone’s part, the Dreamcast crumbled due to the unstoppable juggernaut that was the PS2. Love it or hate it, Sega’ s last hurrah was an innovative system with its share of great games.

and here is the list of top ten ! lets cekidot :)

10. Crazy Taxi

Crazy Taxi was so popular that it not only got ports to other systems, but started a new genre basically, one that we can clearly see in the Simpson’s Road Rage. The main objective of the game is to pick up customers and take them to their chosen destination as fast as possible. If this sounds easy, well you haven’t played Crazy Taxi.

9. Power Stone 2

Most fighting games feature a one-on-one contest between two opponents. Power Stone adds to this formula by giving you the ability to pick up and fight with such objects as tables, chairs, rocks and bombs. Power Stone was one of the first fighting games to implement a free roaming fighting experience with weapons in the environment, and do it well.

8. Marvel Vs. Capcom 2

Of the three home versions of Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 (X-box, PS2 and DC) The Dreamcast version is the closest to the arcade version, due to its hardware being similar to that of a NAOMI arcade motherboard. If there was a definitive home version of Marvel vs Capcom 2, it was the Dreamcast Version.

7. Resident Evil: Code Veronica

The most underrated over game in the Resident Evil franchise, Code Veronica carries over everything that made Resident Evil 3 such a success. This includes 180 degree turning and fully 3d backgrounds, not pre-rendered mattes. The game is set three months after the events depicted in Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. The plot moves away from Raccoon City and onto Rockfort Island, a solitary private isle owned by the Umbrella Corporation.

6. Shenmue

When many think of the Dreamcast, one game comes to mind – Shenmue. Shenmue had many features completely unheard of at the time of release. Yu Suzuki, the creator of the game, coined a genre that he called "FREE" meaning Full Reactive Eyes Entertainment at the time of release. Shenmue plays out a lot like a typical adventure game, but aspects of the FREE system make the game immensely more immersive.

5. Jet Grind Radio

Cel-shading may be passé today, and even scoffed at by some, but in 1999 it was amazingly revolutionary, and no other game did cel-shading like Jet Grind Radio. The game itself tells a bizarre story of a skater named Beat trying to use tagging and skating as a form of self-expression in a dystopian world. Jet Grind Radio also featured a fairly well reviewed soundtrack featuring many popular pop, techno and even rock songs to assist you on your voyage to fight the man.

4. Skies of Arcadia

The story in Skies of Arcadia focuses around Vyse, a young sky pirate in a Jules Verne-inspired fantasy world, and his friends as they attempt to stop the Valuan Empire from reviving ancient weapons with the potential to destroy the world. The game was later ported to the Gamecube, but the true version of the game was the original.

3. Shenmue 2

Sadly, many gamers had to wait a LONG time for this game to come out in the west, this was especially true in the United States, as the game finally came out on the original Xbox long after the Dreamcast release. Shenmue II begins shortly after the first installment of Shenmue concluded. While the first game told the story of the first chapter of the saga, the second game tells the story of the second, third, and fourth chapters.

2. Soul Calibur

The follow up to Soul Edge/Soul Blade was a big surprise, and is still looked at as one of the best fighting games of all time, only bested by its eventual sequel Soul Calibur 2. Sporting a healthy dose of weapons based combat, this is the fighting game that many franchises wanted to be last generation.

1. Sonic Adventure

It had to happen, there had to be a Sonic game on our list. Sonic Adventure is arguably the best 3d Sonic game on the market according to fans of the series. Not only was the game well received, but it still holds the crown for the best selling Dreamcast game... EVER!
