Episode Notes:
1. Some of the footage you see here is from the emulator Redream. It ran most of these games quite well.
2. This episode originally was conceptualized for 10 games. Sturmwind was part of this episodes outline, but as you may know, Sturmwind EX was released for the PC, Switch, Xbox One X, and PS4 in Novemnber of 2019.
3. Toy Racer is mostly a multiplayer game with very little single player content.
4. Max Steel was only released in North America.
5. Sega Rally 2 is one of the most divisive games on the DC. Some love it, some hate it, and few are in between.
6. The opening barrage of games were considered for this episode. Maybe I'll add them in the sequel.
7. Capturing DC games has gotten a lot easier with with my SCART 480p cable. I still have problems with contrast and brightness, but the at least there is little lag.
8. I hadn't played Sword of the Berserk in 20 years. I had completely forgotten how to play it.

The Sega dreamcast is still a killer console.
It had the goods, but Sega's past sins damned it to an early grave.
Yup, I think it has some of the best versions of Street Fighter
Harris Zaindi I Specifically mean Street Fighter Alpha 3
Marvel vs capcom is also great
Still looks great today
A lot of DC exclusives have that special DC feel to them. Ya know, that arcady fun quirky design style that no other console really has. The games are special and unique in a way that makes them endearing.
Totally agree and to be fair I think the Saturn, PS1, N64 and Dreamcast all had very distinctive looks from one another and all for different reasons, something which has sadly been lost in the many years since as games and consoles largely morph into one another, although Nintendo's own titles still have a distinctive look
The Dreamcast was the last console of the "Wild West" era of gaming.
noisyturtle fun
@@SomeOrangeCat Yeah and we live today the after apocalypse era.
That's what Sega was aiming for with the Dreamcast, to branch out beyond the hardcore and reach the casual crowd. It ended up being better for the hardcore however as it has some of the best arcade fighters ever made as well as a variety of the weirdest games ever made. Crazy Taxi is one that falls into both categories. The casuals like it because it has a pick up and play mindset, but to fully master it and beat all it's modes and time attacks offers challenge for the hardcore. This to me was Sega at their best. It proves that they can make it work with enough fresh ideas.
BlueStinger is one of my favourite Dreamcast games.
it was so good, a remake would be amazing, but hey, we're probably 40 in the whole world who liked that game XD
The Japanese version had the more dynamic camera.
@@animejoe4041 It had fixed camera angles that followed the player,a shame it wasn't at least an option for the US release since it was how the game is intended to be played.
It was fun
Campy in all the right ways. Like HOTD 2.
As a huge fan of the Berserk series and knowing the story, I thank you for showing and making Sword of the Berserk a must-play for me. Today's going to be fun.
Great game. Too bad we never got the PS2 sequel. The PS4 Dynasty Warriors type game was actually pretty fun as well. Not amazing but you got to play as Zod which was awesome as was using the Berserk Armor.
The game looked cool but I didn't like the controls and the way the sword swings.
Let me be the first who ask you for a Sega Dreamcast Console Exclusives Part 2.
You play gears??
Let me be the second
@@derrickgunn6173 Yes
I Could tell. You any good?
@@derrickgunn6173 I´ve finished every Gears game on insane difficulty.
I'd like to suggest both Zombie Revenge and Dynamite Cop! to this list. To the best of my understanding, both of these started in the arcade and found their way to the Dreamcast via the Naomi board, and neither game has ever been ported to any other home system. Both are awesome brawlers, and are great for multiplayer as well.
Dynamite Cop is awesome, I remember going to EB games to play it on their demo Dreamcast. Finally did get a copy a few years ago and man is it fun.
Really disappointed it never got ported to current consoles and pc. The Dreamcast game library doesn't seem to get the HD ports that Sega Genesis games get.
Dynamite Cop was actually ported over to the PS2. So it can't be on this list. But I think that Zombie Revenge was only on Dreamcast
Was Dynamite Deka 2 (Dynamite Cop on American Dreamcast) on the PS2? I thought it was just the first Dynamite Deka game (Die Hard Arcade in America).
Yep Dynamite Cop only came out on Dreamcast, it was the first game that was released on PS2.
Great suggestions. Favorites of mine too.
My personal favorite Dreamcast exclusive is...
DRACONUS: Cult of the Wrym
Although it often gets mixed reviews, I feel it is a hidden gem. It has an awesome atmosphere and unique feel to it. The smooth flow from indoors to massive outdoor environments was something virtually unseen at that time, amazing! Tons of cool levels with interesting puzzles too. 👍🎮
I also played it, it was a hiddem gem. It had a great lore and it was a big game.
@Harris Zaindi Yes, try Wacky Races! A fun cart game based (obviously on the 60's cartoon)
... maybe didn't get mixed reviews but is definitely often overlooked. 👍🎮
If I played Sword of the Berserk today I'd probably still giggle when the dude says ballsacks underlings.
I'm playing some Dreamcast through VGA today, off work for the "lockdown" !! Great video brother
God bless the Dreamcast VGA Box (or cable)! It still looks great to me 20 years later, fast, many games 60fps fluidity, animations and color. New games can’t even lock in 60fps (granted, higher resolutions, but if not used well, higher res can do more harm than good), so DC 60fps gaming is at least hyper smooth! 👍
I would also say:
-Record of Lodoss War: Advent of Cardice, a fun little diablo clone and worthy anime title.
-Tech Romancer! An amazing fighter with giant robots with a massive single player mode. Every character has a branching path story mode to play through, and they are parodies of all the classic mecha shows of the 90s, like Evangelion, Gundam and Macross, among many others.
I loved Tech Romancer. Sad that Capcom never bothered to remaster it.
Record of Lodoss War is a great Diablo game. The first of it's kind that used Analog Control. Even better if you have seen the anime.
Agree with Record of Lodoss War, but it's no mere "Diablo Clone" I think the weapon leveling (and transfer) system makes it a much better game than Diablo. Some of the optional areas and fights are super tough without being controller throw frustrating, but the rewards are also substantial for most of them.
Toy Commander was and still is superb. It's a shame it was never given a sequel, I can imagine it doing well in the xbo 360 arcade days, especially if they included multiplayer.
If marketed right I think a modern remake would do great these days
Seriously one of the most underrated video games related channel of all RUclips! Love all your content! Keep it coming sir!
Illbleed is just one of the best survival horrors ever made. I recommend. 👍
I love that insane little game. Brainless Randy was hilarious.
Agreed. Once you get past that insanely steep learning curve, there's hours upon hours of fun to be had. The Toy Story parody stage is one of the most insane things I've ever played.
@@SubaruMalibu I can't believe they did t get sued for this
Original and fun. Really an hidden gem of the DC.
I would like to see at least one more video of Dreamcast exclusives, but I'd say a "Better on Dreamcast" video would also be worth doing as well since there are a lot of games that came out on PlayStation and Nintendo 64, as well as a few games that originally came out on Saturn, that simply were better on the Dreamcast.
This is useful in comparing later rereleases as well. During this generation sometimes games had different tradeoffs on certain platforms, but occasionally one would shine brightest on a particular console, and there's not a lot of resources out there accessibly doing such comparisons.
@Dylan sky Rayman 2.
@Dylan sky V Rally 2
@Dylan sky Panzer Front
I LITERALLY just said "There needs to be some fresh Sega Lord X content!" today. One of my favorite Dreamcast exclusives was Gundam Side Story: 0079 Rise from the Ashes. Its a proper mech sim with intuitive controls, a squad system, satisfying combat and nice graphics. The voice acting is all done by a who's who of well knowns.
Rise from the Ashes is brilliant, I love the squad gameplay and beam saber combat. The story fits into the canon of Gundam so well.
Great game, and is criminally overlooked (even by Gundam fans). Playing as a lowly grunt Gundam pilot instead of one of the franchise heroes is a neat perspective, too.
That Dreamcast Gundam game is great. Besides a few decent PS2 Gundam games, we really haven't gotten any great Gundam games. The PS4 ones have been mediocre.
@@SubaruMalibu I love the ground type GM, it's my favorite mobile suit.
I'd love to play it someday. Kinda pricey, though.
For Project Justice, one could say, "Tag Team back again."
The story of Sword of the Berserk isnt that crazy...it is based on a manga and the story was actually written by the original author. This game is mostly standalone from the manga but things are definitely rooted in the pre established lore.
It's Berserk
@Dylan sky Read it first, then judge.
Its ejjy boi manga
Great video, SLX!
Now on to Part 2!
Perfect ending: “Game Over Yeeeeeaaaaaaaaaahh!” :)
It still breaks my heart to this day that Sega left the console market... the only comfort that is somewhat bitter sweet is that at least they went out with a bang and their final console is so loved and full of amazing games and some of the best exclusives of all time
Two games of my collection that I enjoy today are SEGA Bass Fishing and E.G.G. (Elemental Gimmick Gear).
Two vastly underrated games-- E.G.G. was a unique and immersive RPG, quite different from the run of the mill (like PD Saga a few years earlier), and Sega Bass Fishing with a fishing rod controller is like nothing else in video games!
Now that was a good game and its rod was awesome
Toy Commander is one of my favorite games of all time! I got it for my 9th bday in 1999 and had soo much fun playing alone and with friends. Countless hours of replay value for me (often just messing around on missions like “Chuck Amok”)
I honor you for knowing and praising ILLBLEED. One of the weirdest, most unique games I've ever played.
Man Toy Commander brings back the nostalgia hard. We had a demo CD with that and Red Dog on which got played way too much when there was homework to be done.
All the footage looked really sharp, hard to believe these games are around 20 years old 👏
Sega Rally 2 was the biggest reason I bought a Dreamcast, and to this day, Sega Rally 2 is still one of my favourite racing games on any console. ♥️
Would totally be glad for more of these. Sadly I never originally owned a Dreamcast. So seeing the type of great games there are is a bonus.
Honestly most of these games need to stay exclusive. Theres emulation for some people, but I feel like there should always be value in booting up a system to play thinga you cant play anywhere else.
Exactly
Dude in defence of berserk this is an anime that started in 1989 that is still publish today :) and there is a huuuuuge history on it. So Im not surprise about long dialogues. Thanks for the video.
You mean manga.
D2 is actually really great. I would say that one of it's strengths is the mixing of different types of games. Just being another RE clone would have boring and dull no matter how well it was made. The RPG elements kept me interested and I played it twice on the DC. The control is no worse than any other Tank style control,they are all bad frankly. The soundtrack,by Kenji Eno was good enough that I bought the CD of it,and once you get past the slow beginning it really gets fun. The sense of mystery is good and it's amazing this game came out at all. Eno was an interesting game maker and it's a pity he's not around to continue to refine his style.
Carrier is also a decent RE clone too.
Don't have D2. :(
I'd genuinely never heard of this game until seeing it here and it looks interesting. I liked the original and loved Enemy Zero, which is still pretty tense to this day as its monsters are invisible and can be as frightening as your imagination allows. Also Deep Fear was a great title for the Saturn and Sega had some great alternatives to Resident Evil as well as a couple from that series
Harris Zaindi wait what
I played both japanese and american versions of CV on the Dreamcast, and I don't remember any of them running at 60fps. 30fps and stable, sure, but nothing above that.
@@Gruntvc You should pick it up. I don't think it's too expensive. Once you get into the flow of it you'll be surprised at how good it gets especially at the end.
@@carllavery4442 Enemy Zero was very interesting as well. Only the limited save system holds it back a bit. I like it better than Alien Isolation. Boy that Kenji Eno. Back in 97' or so he was at a Sony Conference to announce a game for them. He got up on stage and said right in front of everyone that his new game would be for the Saturn instead and it was Enemy Zero. Sony was pissed. The balls on that guy were beyond belief. He had tons of friends high up though that kept Sony executives from coming down on him. I read that he did it to them because they screwed him over when he ported D to the PS1. He he was just getting back into game making before he passed away. Too bad. At least he had a son.
I had a lot of fun with Toy Commander it was cool pretending that you were playing with your own toys. I will say that I returned to the Dreamcast relatively recently and was shocked at the poor framerate of Sega Rally 2 as I never remembered it playing like that, yet the Saturn original is silky smooth.
Still overall the Dreamcast was a console well ahead of it's time in many ways, such as online gaming, a second screen etc
Carl Lavery I agree. Sega should have just locked Sega Rally 2 at 30 FPS. It was all over the place.
Carl Lavery I picked up that game randomly in 2002 and invited a friend over to try. We were instantly hooked and multiplayer became big for us
I loved playing Project Justice on the Dreamcast. This game has to be included one the Dreamcast Mini when it comes out hopefully.
I loved this episode! Dreamcast is one of my favorite consoles, I still remember picking it up on Xmas 99 and having a blast for years with it. I hope you can make a video that features Omikron, I don't know if it's a dreamcast exclusive but its a game worth playing it at least once.
I really want Sega to comeback to hardware business
The Dreamcast remains my favorite console of all time. I just love it. Still got one. Loved the V.M.U, modemn, peripherals. The graphics are still good and alot of good games.
Thanka for the video and hope to see another one.
As always a fair and well thought out perspective for many well deserved games that many may neglect or forget. Loving this.
D2 is certainly interesting.
Sega could hire M2 again to build a Dreamcast mini, alongside with a Saturn Mini
Dear SLX: I'm currently on preemptive isolation in Chile due to corona, and I'm also in the middle of moving to an appartment alone. Your videos have kept me accompained and entertained through all the lugging and loneliness. Keep up the good content and thank you.
The Dreamcast is wonderful! Thanks for covering some hidden gems! Was happy to see Illbleed get some love!
I have both Toy Commander and Rippin Riders. They were two of my favorites as a kid. I'm glad I started my gaming life on the Sega Dreamcast!
Great selection of games, I’ve played most of these. I’m still surprised with all it’s great games the Dreamcast wasn’t more successful.
The way you emphasize 'D' got me gigglin like a schoolkid... LoL
Great vid as always! Keep it up and stay safe ~
There is always something to enjoy in your videos SLX !!
Dreamcast will stay in our heart forever
There's a lot of Dreamcast Japanese exclusive too!
Non-exhaustive list:
Aero Dancing i - A great simcade (realistic flight physics and very limited ammunitions) with plenty of aircrafts to chose from. Lots of training missions and operations are available. There's nothing more fun than managing to successfully land your F/A-18 on a carrier!
Blue Submarine N°6 - Play as a scavenger in a world where the water level rose to a critical level. Scavenge for valuables, flee from the weird monsters by slaloming through the submerged skyscrapers and upgrade your submarine with the gear you found!
Bomber Hehhe! - Place explosives and time them correctly to blow up the designated building without causing damage to the adjacent houses.
Cosmic Smash - A very stylish squash game with multiple paths.
deSpiria - A weird JRPG by the creators of Hellnight on the PS1. Mix myst-like exploration with classic JRPG battles. I really like the atmosphere of this game.
I loved Rival Schools and now, after Years, I get to know that there was a Sequel? Awesome.
For some reason, I’ve been getting back into the Dreamcast this past week. Flycast makes it look beautiful again in 4K.
Your channel is like when I was a kid going to the candy store! Love the channel bro!
Acually Sword of the beserker was one of the 2 games i bought when i first got my Dreamcast.
The other was Test Dive Le mans. Man that is still one of the best racing games.
I still have my Dreamcast. And I think it still looks awesome!
Johnny Parrot Joe Tgats because it doesn't suffer the horrible aliasing that PS2 and PS3 do. If it had HDMI output and wifi it could have been released yesterday.
Simply loved it. Can't wait for episode 2! ;)
First video that I watch from you and I loved it! Already a subscriber. Go on!
Super addicted to this channel! Soul Caliber 9/9/99 was a great day as it was the first time a home release not only came close to it's arcade counterpart but soundly beat it! It was an amazing day!
I haven't seen any comments refer to this game so I'll be the one to say it. Sega Marine Fishing is a great game on Dreamcast and is also exclusive to the platform other than being on Windows way back in the day. The Dreamcast fishing controller single handedly made this game feel almost identical to the arcade version and is a must own if you like Sega's fishing arcade games.
SLX HAD DONE IT AGAIN!!!! I love this video, Project Justice is one of my favorite fighters, and has a memorable soundtrack too. Speaking of fighters, I would love to see SLX do a video on his top 10 Dreamcast Fighting games.
Great content as usual! Glad to see Red Dog get some love. All the games still actually look pretty decent today. I remember D2's graphics blowing me away back in 2001.
GAME OVER YEAH!!!! Damn, that made me laugh. 🤣😂
Played a bunch of Sega Rally 2 on PC back in the day, loved it at the time, would definitely recommend it!
ooo this is just the video i need rn, thank you good sir
Nice episode. I had several of the games in this one, Toy Commander was one of my favorites.
The DC also had a bunch of arena type shooters, some that to my knowledge, didn't make appearances elsewhere:
-Spawn: Into the Demon's Hand
-Outtrigger
-Heavy Metal: Geo Matrix
Looking forward to the next part.
Amazing, I still have this games, passing them was fun, especially D2 in October 2000, that was fun.
It’s nice to see Sega Rally 2 getting some love. While I can be sensitive to frame rate, it’s never really bothered me in this game. It’s a real shame Sega insisted on using SR2 to demonstrate Windows CE as I’m sure a fully faithful conversion would have been possible without Windows CE dragging performance down.
Rippin’ Riders looks good, I’ll have to give it a try. It’s always annoyed me we never got home conversions of Namco’s skiing and snowboarding arcade games.
I freaking love your videos. I was a Nintendo kid all the way. Only had a game gear as a kid. Your videos are so entertaining that I will always keep coming back for more. I am so intrigued about sega's past. Thank you for your hard work
Great video. Looking forward to Part 2!
D2 is one of the best dreamcast games. The story, characters and music are memorable
So true what you said about Project Justice. Capcom really do need to make a Rival Schools 3! One of the few Dreamcast games I will dig out every year or so to play
always happy to see a new video
OMG Project Justice!! I loved Gedo High! Keep the good nostalgic stuff comin SLX!!
Holy shit! I got a Dreamcast the day it launched. I bought and have so many DC titles that I thought I had all the great jems...I was wrong. For example, I never cared for D. This is why I stayed away from the sequel but after seeing the crazy RPG elements, FPS sequences, and open endedness makes me want it bad.
We the fans need more! Give us that sweet, sweet Dreamcast the sequel video! What a bitter sweet time to be a gamer. We got to see Sega burn so bright with the Dreamcast and flare out far too quickly. When the Dreamcast launched and with so many showstoppers at launch...I thought we might have another Genesis on our hands. Had Sega just been in competition with Nintendo it might have gone down like that. Unfortunately, Sony was a huge unstoppable juggernaut that killed the dream. Now, this does not mean I didn't love the PS2...I got one the first week the console shipped. I just can't believe something as good as the Dreamcast ended like it did.
Terrific video!! I've got my GDEMU ready to go!
Few of these I don't think I ever played, good vid
Another great video!! I remember picking up Project Justice when it came out! It was a budget price of 20 bucks believe it or not!!
Great video. Love the screamcast!
Barren Ballsack wonders why he cant have kids =( (Not that he wanted any, it kills the flow of things)
Red Dog: Superior Firepower is an absolute gem of a game. It's the only reason I still have my Dreamcast today.
I really respect you came out with rival schools straight out the gate
Would love to see more episodes in this series!
Nice list of Dreamcast exclusives. I owned a Sega Dreamcast with a few games years ago, and I'm trying to get one again. Some games that where also good where - Macross M3, Carrier, The Ring and Heavy Metal Geomatrix
Great video, bring on part 2!
Record of Lodoss War is one of my favorite exclusive Dreamcast games although I'm a bit biased as I'm a big fan of the anime/manga series.
I need to finish that game! I still remember getting stuck on a final boss (not sure if it's a side boss). It's a massive worm that burrows under ground, I think!
I still have it! I need to finally finish it! lol!
Dreamcast , a console lived so few years, but wiil be remembered forever
Game over Yeahhhh! Hahahhah awesome! I loved the exclusive Project Justice and Cannon Spike too. Had much fun with it. Thanks a lot Sega Lord X.
Good video, mate. Keep em comin
The Sega Dreamcast’s exclusives library is surprisingly deep with some killer games. I have 7 videos of Dreamcast exclusives covering the great and not so great. #segalordx does a fantastic job at showcasing some of these.
Another great video!!! Really hope for part two! If i had to pick one definitely ill go with record of lodoss war.
If you revisit this topic you’ve got to add Tokyo Extreme Racer, Record of Lodoss War and Wild Metal.
Sigh, RIP Kenji Ino. I do wonder how much better his games would have been with people with editorial control around him to keep him grounded.
Also RIP Shinya Nishigaki who wrote, designed and produced Illbleed. :
Totally agree with Rivals Schools comming back to consoles,its an amazing game and i still play it on my phone's PS emulator.Dreamcast was ba bomb
I really like this subject matter. Would be great to see more videos with same subject. Was waiting for Zombie’s Revenge in this video lol.
You forgot CannonSpike, Virtua tennis, and Typing of the dead! Awwwe, classics.
I have been on a Dreamcast binge as of late ( bought 12 games 2 vmu's and a Japanese Dreamcast. ) So more Dreamcast is always welcome.
Nice video buddy, im gonna download an emulator and try these out, these look like really unique games, something about the style in them seems different. Never played Dreamcast before. Thanks.
Damn I am really getting into this sega lord x videos
GREAT to find D2, Illbleed and Berserk in it! ♥
“D2” premieres back in 1998 was outstanding.
Thank you brother, now I got new games I want play 🔥
Fantastic video, you covered the one game I was hoping you would, RED DOG. Loved that game when it was new. It was almost a prototype for the Warthog controls for Halo.
I'll have to agree to disagree about BESERK's story. The cutscenes are what made it so compelling to me as a teen, mostly due to Michael Bell(Raziel, various Smurfs) voicing Gatsu. It was unlike anything else in the hack and slash/brawler genre I had played up to that point, and I loved it's world building.
and we are back
I recommend you to read the original Berserk comic, the story is pretty darn good.
The game on DC adapts a particularly big story arc of this japanese comic, that's why there's "too much story".
Berserk is honestly one of the the craziest thing I've maybe ever looked at
@@atomiswave2 Yes! The draw style is simply awesome too!
In defense for Sword of the Berserk's "amount of story", it is based off of the manga and anime "Berserk" where all the characters, including the main character Guts, go through a lot of exposition before quite a lot of bloodletting.
I'm aware, but this is an action title, so you expect the gameplay to last longer than the cinemas. When you have to sit through 10 mins of story for a small piece of gameplay, I think a lot of folks will be turned off. I know it bothered me to the point where I stopped caring about the story at all.
Sega Lord X That’s real fair. Honestly, there was a lot going against the game, especially with how if you miss an attack, you just slapped against the wall which left you open and it felt clunky.
The Dynasty Warriors Berserk game might have done it right, having the plot going on while the action was going on, but that’s with most Warriors games and how one’s mileage may vary.
I do appreciate the response! Big fan.
