I've never owned a Dreamcast. At the time, I knew it as the mystical console the slightly weird next door neighbour got around the time we got a PS2. Now, I know it as the last bastion of SEGAs flagships which have since found homes via ports and sequels on new consoles - and a few cult classics that never left.
But I've found myself wanting to play Skies of Arcadia again. Having sold my GC copy a good few years ago - and wanting to play a version which doesn't have an OST like an orchestra in a bathtub - I figure now might be the time to get into the DC's wider library. It helps that Japan has DC stuff kicking about for pennies.
So, what games are still worth owning on Dreamcast? Which games are still best played here and not on later consoles? I'll be buying an NTSC-J console, so Japan-only recommendations very welcomed. The ones I already plan to look out for:
-Eternal (Skies of) Arcadia
-Sonic Adventure
-Rez
-Cosmic Smash ($$$)
-Ready 2 Rumble Boxing (as rubbish as this game is, it's the definitive version of a childhood fav me and my bro used to play on N64!)
Please use this thread to share your DC-related stories too! Take me back to the glory of early 2000s vidya with its VGA outputs and dial-up 56k online play.
