I think you are being unfair to Quake 3. At the time it provided a similar experience to a fairly high spec PC. In a box not much bigger than the GD rom drive itself. Have you been trying to play with a control pad? I didn't find it as much fun without the keyboard and mouse but as my friend james will tell you, it's definately possible to win using a pad lol. He beat me several times and I had been a quake 3 player since mp_testdemo
Sniff....I miss my dreamcast! Other greats: Vitua Tennis, Sonic Adventure, Shenmue, Power Stone and Ready2Rumble boxing! This really was a console ahead of it's time in terms of features and totally underrated.
I never owned a Dreamcast but I remember seeing NFL 2K and that made me hang up Madden for 1 and 2 made me seriously think twice about not buying a PS2. Dreamcast was and still is AWESOME. If it had a DVD player i would of bought one over the PS2. Capcom VS. SNK is awsome on the Dreamcast emulator. Sega Should re-release the Dreamcast but seriously beef it up and release it not as a mass market deal but as a special order type thing. I would buy one.
I loved my Dreamcast, but ended up trading it in for PS2.
Shenmue was fantastic and one of the only games my non gaming sister ever played. Although i didn't complete it due to failing to remember to save about 4 hours worth of play and had to restart over, it killed it for me :S
Phantasy Star Online was really good. My 1st taste of an online RPG and I loved every 2nd of it. I've tried to recreate some of that magic with later versions of Phantasy Star (Gamecube and PC versions) both failed.
Power Stone was a mint party game that anybody could pick up and have fun with.
And +1 to the person that said the Dreamcast was his first taste of FHM online, oh those were the days :)
I'm disappointed that nobody has mentioned the best scrolling shooter of all time, Ikaruga. The DC was its first console release. It's a game so good that Blizzard based a WoW boss on it.
Of course, the humor of this is that if it wasn't for the DC's rampant piracy, I probably never would have even played the japan only release :P
definetly one of the MOST underrated consoles out there.. it was so epic, and screen on controller? insane, i dont think a have seen that way back when, even know actually. dreamcast was a amazing console... i say they should bring one back!!!!!
Last time I played on a Dreamcast was I think my 27th birthday, couple of years back (honest). We invented a drinking game to accompany Sega Marine Fishing. A great start to a night and it's a lasting testament to the success of the drinking game that I can't for the life of me remember which birthday it was. Those old Dreamcast fishing games were great fun.
midways astrocade console back in late 70's http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Bally_Astrocade, the neo-geo, and dreamcast were some of the consoles I remember to be way ahead of their time
I still love my dreamcast. One game that was definitly forgotten is "Headhunter"! This is still my all-time favorite game. The soundtrack is still the best game soundtrack ever written. At the moment I'm playing shenmue again with my kids. :) It's really fun!

ReplyI believe it used Windows CE to simplify the port.
Also Linux runs on it (of course): http://linuxdc.sourceforge.net/

the crazy taxi is very cool,I played day and night,the speed and block and awesome jump and turnover,everything is open my passion.
Of course, the humor of this is that if it wasn't for the DC's rampant piracy, I probably never would have even played the japan only release :P
