There's an alternate universe where I own everything Dreamcast related, full topped off with 20 different official fishing rods and it's beautiful. speaking of, play sega bass fishing. it's incredible.
I unironically loved Sega Bass Fishing so much. Still have my fishing reel controller packed away somewhere. Come on Sega, Switch re-release with reel controller addon when?
It was a nice video, you should look Nappletale Arsia in Daydream a Dreamcast exclusive obscure 3D platform with crafting elements made by Chime, is a pretty good experience in my opinion, and it was english translated recently
The best fact about Sega GaGa is that the marketing budget was so small the games producer used all of it to buy a luchador mask and went around to game stores yelling at people to buy the game. Fuck sega in the early 2000s was the best
For Dreamcast recommendations, I gotta mention Spawn: In The Demon's Hand and Heavy Metal: Geomatrix (both are comic book-licensed arena fighters from Capcom). They were also released in arcades, so they aren't strictly Dreamcast exclusives. But they are quite fun. I also want to mention Stupid Invaders (also released for PCs), a point-and-click adventure game based on the cartoon Space Goofs (which some of you may remember from Fox Kids in the late 1990s).
I use retroarch on my series X to play spawn here and there. It was by far my favorite game to play on the dreamcast back in the day. Glad to see others even knew about it.
Learning about Project Justice and Rival Schools in the past few months blew my mind. It wouldve been RIGHT up my alley as a kid. Its such a bummer that it was never continued or ported. I really hope Capcom gets their heads out of their asses and put together a 3D fighting collection. Oh and they definitley need to finally translate the extra modes.
technically the PS1 game got put on PS3's PSN back in the day...and that was it. on the bright side it obviously had the VN mode that was cut for the US release. less robust than in Project Justice form my understanding, but still interesting and still a custom character.
capcom is pretty cut throat with their IP's. If it doesn't sell well they drop it. the only IP they've been forgiving with is megaman. aside from that they cut everything like the since forgotten strider series.
I can remember always wanting a Dreamcast growing up and one day at a local game and movie store seeing one for 30 bucks. That store was always fun to go to for it's wildly chaotic prices seeing things listed for way more than they should be but occasionally you'd find a random good deal. But like...30 bucks for a Dreamcast? WITH IT'S BOX?! That I noticed and asked for getting an "Oh you want that? Sure I guess." It was viewed as trash. It was gonna be thrown away. Still the best deal I'd ever gotten at that store. System works great and I play Soul Calibur on it from time to time.
Maken X was incredible. A year or two after I got out of high school (so 2002/2003) a friend and I went on a Dreamcast binge, buying up all the discount games we could with Maken X being one of the greatest finds we came across.
Toy Commander has the BEST 4-player split screen death match ever, but nobody ever mentions it! Me and my friends made a “no flight rule”, ground vehicles only. Countless hours of beautiful fun, elbow jabs, smack talk, temporary alliances, and something about taking your truck for header from a second story (equivalent) drop with it bouncing around or down the stairs in a ditch effort to avoid 8 yellow marker missiles aimed straight up your butt is exhilarating! Each level is so unique, so well designed and varied, we just never got bored with it. We’d be playing right now if our small crew hadn’t disbanded as friends, sadly. The only game we spent more time on was Phantasy Star Online. We had 2 tv’s, 2 Dreamcasts, 2 phone lines, keyboards in the same room, so we’d team up and help other food guys while making evil players wish they never dropped an item for trade! Robin Hood’s, basically. Quake 3 and Unreal are also killer deathmatch on DC, and we sunk a lifetime into those games too, but nothing possibly tops Toy Commander Deathmatch: the way deathmatch is supposed to be played- in the same room on the couch with your pals in shoulder-slugging range and crude jokes about mothers. I never played the single player. My friend did to unlock all levels. Deathmatch at its very best. Not just Dreamcast, I mean EVER!
Yes! The dreamcast I got mine around 2014 I found it at a family thrift store hidden under old keyboards I almost missed it. They were asking about $13 for it. Still runs nicely and looks really nice too it's one of my favorite systems
So cool to see someone talk about Elemental Gimmick Gear! It was one of the few Dreamcast games I had growing up and while I didn't get too far into it, what I did play was pretty awesome.
I-Spy: Operation Espionage is a Dreamcast game that a lot of people ignore. Granted, its learning curve is basically a vertical line, and the prospect of giving a bunch of characters commands instead of controlling them directly may turn quite a few people off. But once you figure out what to do, and all of your squad members are working in unison, MY GOD is it satisfying.
These videos give me so much positive nostalgia. Things like flogian brothers I remember renting it and never talking about it again. Legit no other channel brings back so many game memories.
I'm suprised you didn't mention ILLBLEED. It's the most unique horror experience ever made. It might not be the scariest but it certainly stands out. Also, Super Magnetic Neo. A platformer with a magnet gimmick.
Record of Lodoss was used to be the most expensive Dreamcast game back in the day so Im not surprised it is again. Its a fun Dark Alliance style game. Dreamcast has an amazing library for such a short life. Sega bass Fishing is the reason I still have a fishing controller!
TOY COMMANDER! This was one of my first games ever and basically nobody on RUclips has made a video about it! I still break it out from time to time and love it!
So almost fifteen years ago there was this used video game place going out of business. In this place they were selling two boxes of "random returned stuff that may or may not be broken" for $20. (And one for $40, but we didn't get that one.) One of them had most of a Dreamcast in it. All that was missing was the aux cord and a VMU. So we went to another used video game place to buy one for $7, bought a used VMU for $5 (the battery died for it so we couldn't play it on the go) and a $1 football game for testing purposes. I wasn't sure if I could play Phantasy Star Online, offline so I never grabbed it (it's still fairly cheap though) and I wasn't sure if I'd even enjoy it offline. I didn't know that you can still play games online on the Dreamcast, but since I got the Dreamcast used I was assuming that it didn't have the BBA. It has the BBA. I'm going to one of the not out of business used video game stores to get Phantasy Star Online tomorrow. I had PriceCharting up knowing that I'd be adding at least one thing to my Wishlist. I only have a Dreamcast because some guy thought it was broken without the aux cord. (It was only worth maybe $60 at the time though anyway. I can't remember if we had to get a controller or not.) Shenmue cost me more than what I paid overall for the Dreamcast. I fucking love the Dreamcast but I wouldn't know it if it weren't for some guy thinking that he was able to sell a broken Dreamcast for $20. Edit: Both pre-owned game stores that used to have the game for forever didn't have the game anymore. I know this video came out yesterday but I'm still blaming Austin for that.
Man the Dreamcast yet again shows how much of a likable oddball it is, so many cool and weird titles man, especially the Anime Action RPG there, that's pretty dope, Record of Lodoss War very cool.
0:56 The game shown (Trigger Heart Exelica) and other late in life shmups I think were actually developed first for Japanese arcades. The SEGA NAOMI Arcade System was basically just a Dreamcast already so that’s why there’s so many of these ports.
Nice to see Record of Lodoss War being mentioned ! I probably still have a VMU with my saves on it. Good Diablo-like, interesting side story, horrible sound effects (especially the stomping heavy boots), cameos from the main characters, and a fun plot twist.
Austin mentioned the Unexpectables! For those who don't know, Austin is the sound editor for the podcast of the Unexpectables! You know, the D&D show that ended yesterday. THANK YOU AUSTIN AND GOODNIGHT.
YOOOO TOY COMMANDER!!!!!!!! The one title I was hoping for that would appear here! I still even remember the cheat that would max out your missiles abxyba while holding the left or right trigger buttons. Brings me back
I always used to play a ton of this demo disc that came with my Dreamcast and had Fur Fighters on it. I never got to play the full game but I thought it was a blast and the multiplayer fun too.
Hey Austin! This was another great video that brought back up a lot of memories of some of the great games of the yester-years! Among them, Glad to see quick references to Zombie Revenge and Cannon Spike. Well done! One I wanted to mention I haven't heard anyone talking about was Bangai-O! Not really sure you can call it obscure since it's a bullet hell masterpiece from Treasure, and I think it had a more recent HD release I haven't played. You could freely navigate the stages rather than having an automatic horizontal scroll with tons of environmental destructibility. It controlled like a twinstick shooter but since the DC controller only had one stick, the controller's face buttons were mapped as shooting in the cardinal directions. It had this great 'parry' system where the more enemies that were attacking you, and the closer those shots were to actually hitting you, the more missiles your mecha would fire out in retaliation, at times allowing you to fire out hundreds of missiles simultaneously. *Minor Spoilers* The last boss was great because he was also a mecha like yours, tiny on the screen with the same ability to parry your attacks with hundreds of his own missiles! Felt like a fittingly climactic Shonen-manga battle lol
My generation knows about Max Steel, and that's sadly because of the 2013 reboot and the abysmal 2016 live action film. It was part of the weird reboots of the 2010's, and I only remember finding it boring when it released when I was like 8 or 9
If you're looking for something, how about Azure Dreams? I loved that game to pieces as a kid as I loved how you can build new buildings for the town (always been a sucker for town building), woo different types of ladies, and become follow the footsteps of your famous late father. Of course the main star of the game is the large tower you climb but I always had trouble getting high up...
Man I got excited when you mentioned record of lodoss war. Being a fan of the original OVA and anime, when they announced the deedlet game on steam I bought that sucker the second it went up for green light so I was ready for something more.... And then you showed footage
A few memorable dreamcast games I had whilst growing up that are perhaps worth checking out are, Silver, Blue Stinger + Slave zero, they can be a bit on the obscure side, but definitely classics that don't get talked about more thesedays.
Gundam Side Story 0079: Rise from the Ashes, and Virtual-On are other that come to mind when someone mentions the Dreamcast....besides all the ones mentioned in the video
Shout out for Evolution! 1 and 2 were my favorite rpgs on the system. Admittedly I didn't play many on the Dreamcast, but Boi with the big Swiss Army Knife hand strapped to his back will always have a place in my heart right next to Edge (Panzer Dragoon Saga). I swore if I ever had the money I'd rebuy all my Sega library.
When the dream cast first released it blew my little kid mind. Going from PS1 and Nintendo 64 to the dreamcast the graphical difference was insane to me during that chapter of my life. Man did I love games during those years early gaming was such fun to watch it evolve.
I legitimately came to this video ready to yell that another video yet again left out Elemental Gimmick Gear, so kudos to you for being the first I've ever seen include it. It's the only reason I still have my Dreamcast
Oh also me and my brother used to play the board game in multi player! You can design your character in the beginning, you go through school life and the different square determine your characters stats like hp, moves, and other features. I actually created a character that had like 6 supers lmao
One of the Dreamcast games I surprisingly sunk an immense number of hours was the port of Rainbow Six, which preserved a lot of the deep tactics and planning of the original, more than the N64 port. I got as far as the Sydney Olympics mission and couldn't ever figure out how to disarm the bomb to complete it. I read in Computer Gaming World about this obscure modern military RTS that didn't have resource collection named Conflict Zone, and bought it for my DC because I didn't have a gaming computer. It's pretty tricky to play with the controller, but I appreciate them trying to port all sorts of complex PC games to the Dreamcast.
My standout memory for Outtrigger is being sold on the game from a demo disc and then being really confused by how they botched the controls on the final release, like they had decent controls then chose to be incorrect. Still love the game though.
My family got Wacky Races shortly after it came out as we loved watching the old reruns in the 90’s. My brothers and I played it probably twice, put it down, and never touched it again. Recently snagged it from my parents basement and now it’s collecting dust in mine lol. Didn’t expect to see that one in the list!
Fun fact, the Jaguar, the Snes, and even the Saturn all had online support before the Dreamcast did, the Dreamcast was just the first console to bring the online aspect mainstream and make it (relatively) easy to get online on the console.
Dreamcast was soo ahead of its time. Idk what Sega was doing. They didn't know what to do when it came to consoles. Some(most) of their decisions from back then make you scratch your head and ask "who's making these decisions?" Bc it was one bad one after another
The first thing that sprang to mind for me was Time Stalkers. A pretty neat JRPG-style mystery dungeon game with monster capture mechanics. I always really enjoyed that game, but I've not seen anyone ever mention it before.
I bought that game for $5, maybe even as low at $1, because the KB Toys (iirc) at the mall had surplus Dreamcast games for some inexplicable reason. I bought it and loaded it up once. Maybe I should try it again.
I remember seeing a commercial for Sonic Adventure on TV as a kid, which made me aware of the Dreamcast, but that was it no more marketing, I never seen a Dreamcast, games or accessories for sale, no one talked about it. I thought it was canceled until I bought a used PS1 game at Blockbuster two years later and it was the Dreamcast version in the case.
I had a copy of Egg after someone was wanting to trading into the Game Crazy I worked at. I gave them $20 and was so happy because it was such a weird, unique game that I was surprised I never heard of.
1:45 - actually the sega meganet for the mega drive (genesis) came first with its dial up adaptor inside the cartridge... but its also a technicality if it really was the first console with internet connection. there also was the satellaview, but that was definitly an adaptor, so it certainly dont count, or else we would be here all day with addons. long live the dreamcast and its lovable weirdness 💕
There was also a modem for the Saturn, an N64 shogi game that had a modem built into the cartridge, and a weird pay-per-view-like service for the 2600 where you could download games through the phone line.
@@nate567987 I'm not talking about Rand Net, I'm talking about Morita Shogi 64. It had a modem built into the cartridge and had servers and everything. Although interestingly, most people used it as a backdoor to run homebrew N64 games in the days before Everdrive.
My contribution to this conversation is Trickstyle. It was a hoverboard racing game. Also, nice to see you give a quick mention to Evolution. It was one of the first RPG's I played all the way through.
Omg, when this mentioned Infogrames I suddenly remembered the Monopoly game they did that was on an old PC that one of my brothers gave to me on my birthday. The computer did not have Internet so I mainly used it for drawing, writing and playing games. Then the sound broke somewhere and now it's pretty useless except for the drawing part, some still functioning games (among them surprisingly was the Infogrames Monopoly, which I thought wouldn't work anymore), and some writing, too.
@Austin Eruption Outrigger is supported within fight Cade 2 under the Naomi section. Seems like you were unaware there was a way to still play this game within the game preservation community.
If you think that OutTriggerw was cool, Midway developed two similar games(The Grid and I can't remember the name of the other game, maybe it was made by atari) to compete with Quake/Unreal Tournament that remain arcade exclusives.
I never had a Dreamcast on release here in the UK. But bought one many years later as a retro console. I still have one but mainly play the games I own via the Redream emulator.
The dreamcast is how i learned english. My father bought me one that was modded and we had 2 cd spindles of games. It had to be every game in existence because i never got through them all. PSO and Project justice were games that held me for years.
I love a game that not many people know about called Heavy Metal Geomatrix. It's an arena fighter with weapons developed by Capcom and I think it is based on an independent comics firm by the name of Heavy Metal. It is a pretty simple fighter but it is fun, has a great soundtrack and while the weapons variety is limited and the stages are a bit plane, you can use jetpacks. What's not to love.
I love the fact that the dreamcast came out on my 4th birthday... i'm a dreamcast baby 😄 and i still to this day think that it's an underrated gem of a console
So I ended up being gifted a Dreamcast about a decade ago give or take, along with a copy of Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear ( which I promptly got rid of as it just isn't my thing ) and ended up managing to get a copy of the only game I still have for the system: Crazy Taxi. Even from the second I got a Dreamcast, Project Justice was going for asinine prices...always wanted it though. Equally frustrating is I had a friend who, on a mall trip once, ended up buying a Dreamcast on clearance at Gamestop with a bunch of games between there & Toys R Us back in 2002-2003...and once he saw I had one & heard me mention games I'd wanted for it he told me he'd just sold off his Dreamcast & games and would have just given them to me if he'd known I wanted one.....and among his games were Crazy Taxi 2, Soul Calibur, Marvel Vs Capcom 2, Skies of Arcadia and Record of Lodoss War :(
Maybe forgotten Dreamcast downloadable content? It's basically the first ever DLC. Did you know station square had Christmas side quests where you could win real life prizes.
Timestalkers! It's a randomly generated dungeon crawler that is also a crossover game from climax entertainment. So it has like shining Force character than it. I loved the game growing up even though I really didn't understand a lot of it and coming back to it I find it kind of solid but no one talks about it
I’ve literally never wanted something so bad. I love this thing and I thought it was the future. And I still wish saga world try their had at a console. Idk I really love this thing as a hardcore PlayStation person.
I really wish I could remember the name of it but there was a game I played the crap out of on Dreamcast where you raced for pink slips and opponents cars and it was possible to lose your cars completely where you’d have to start with a crappy base car and pretty much start all over again. I love that game so much cause there was no other racing game like it at the time.
I remember having Record of Lodoss War but no VMU, so me and my little brother were always playing from the beginning as far as we can on one go. Crazy times & nice video!
Hey man, not sure if you've played Oooga Booga for the Dreamcast, but that was a pretty fun multiplayer game my younger brother and I had a lot of fun with way back when! Definitely worth checking out if you can find it. We also had Floigan Bros haha! Hearing you talk about that game brought back memories.
When I was 10 I was obsessed with the Philips Tele-game ES2204 a first generation pong like console that had 4 pong-ish games and two shooting games that could/had to be played with an actual (fairly crappy) lightgun. Got released in 1977 and I think it had a fairly small market of Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.
I still have my copy of Record of Lotus War from my childhood! I found it at a K.B. Toys in the bargain bin for next to nothing if memory serves. I remember really liking the game and thinking it was rad.

18:23 That reminds me that I need another 'CAPCOM Forgotten games' video.
I love the “Record of Lodoss War” animes and always wanted to play the Dreamcast game! (I had a PS2)
They recently made a record of lodoss metroidvania.
@@Invidente7 yeah it is on gamepass... highly recommended.
strongly recommend it.

The Dreamcast having obscure forgotten games sort of feels like an oxymoron.
more like redundant than oxymoron
Not really. I didn't know it existed until the 2010s.
It’s not an oxymoron. You’re using the wrong word. That doesn’t even make sense.
😂
I had to look up what oxymoron means because you made me feel crazy. Turns out I'm not haha

It had this great 'parry' system where the more enemies that were attacking you, and the closer those shots were to actually hitting you, the more missiles your mecha would fire out in retaliation, at times allowing you to fire out hundreds of missiles simultaneously. *Minor Spoilers* The last boss was great because he was also a mecha like yours, tiny on the screen with the same ability to parry your attacks with hundreds of his own missiles! Felt like a fittingly climactic Shonen-manga battle lol
My generation knows about Max Steel, and that's sadly because of the 2013 reboot and the abysmal 2016 live action film. It was part of the weird reboots of the 2010's, and I only remember finding it boring when it released when I was like 8 or 9
If you're looking for something, how about Azure Dreams? I loved that game to pieces as a kid as I loved how you can build new buildings for the town (always been a sucker for town building), woo different types of ladies, and become follow the footsteps of your famous late father. Of course the main star of the game is the large tower you climb but I always had trouble getting high up...
Man I got excited when you mentioned record of lodoss war. Being a fan of the original OVA and anime, when they announced the deedlet game on steam I bought that sucker the second it went up for green light so I was ready for something more.... And then you showed footage
A few memorable dreamcast games I had whilst growing up that are perhaps worth checking out are, Silver, Blue Stinger + Slave zero, they can be a bit on the obscure side, but definitely classics that don't get talked about more thesedays.
Gundam Side Story 0079: Rise from the Ashes, and Virtual-On are other that come to mind when someone mentions the Dreamcast....besides all the ones mentioned in the video
Shout out for Evolution! 1 and 2 were my favorite rpgs on the system. Admittedly I didn't play many on the Dreamcast, but Boi with the big Swiss Army Knife hand strapped to his back will always have a place in my heart right next to Edge (Panzer Dragoon Saga). I swore if I ever had the money I'd rebuy all my Sega library.
When the dream cast first released it blew my little kid mind. Going from PS1 and Nintendo 64 to the dreamcast the graphical difference was insane to me during that chapter of my life. Man did I love games during those years early gaming was such fun to watch it evolve.
I legitimately came to this video ready to yell that another video yet again left out Elemental Gimmick Gear, so kudos to you for being the first I've ever seen include it. It's the only reason I still have my Dreamcast
Oh also me and my brother used to play the board game in multi player! You can design your character in the beginning, you go through school life and the different square determine your characters stats like hp, moves, and other features. I actually created a character that had like 6 supers lmao

That dream is now reality. 🙏
Finally a video were I own most the games instead of being baited into looking into buying a game and dieing inside
So glad I hung on my Dreamcast and games. Still have most of what was mentioned, Project Justice, ILLBleed, D2, Cannon Spike just to name a few.
One of the Dreamcast games I surprisingly sunk an immense number of hours was the port of Rainbow Six, which preserved a lot of the deep tactics and planning of the original, more than the N64 port. I got as far as the Sydney Olympics mission and couldn't ever figure out how to disarm the bomb to complete it.
I read in Computer Gaming World about this obscure modern military RTS that didn't have resource collection named Conflict Zone, and bought it for my DC because I didn't have a gaming computer. It's pretty tricky to play with the controller, but I appreciate them trying to port all sorts of complex PC games to the Dreamcast.
My standout memory for Outtrigger is being sold on the game from a demo disc and then being really confused by how they botched the controls on the final release, like they had decent controls then chose to be incorrect. Still love the game though.
My family got Wacky Races shortly after it came out as we loved watching the old reruns in the 90’s. My brothers and I played it probably twice, put it down, and never touched it again. Recently snagged it from my parents basement and now it’s collecting dust in mine lol. Didn’t expect to see that one in the list!
Fun fact, the Jaguar, the Snes, and even the Saturn all had online support before the Dreamcast did, the Dreamcast was just the first console to bring the online aspect mainstream and make it (relatively) easy to get online on the console.
Saw those foigin brothers in game magazines for literal YEARS. It being delayed so much explains why. I never knew it actually released.
Dreamcast was soo ahead of its time. Idk what Sega was doing. They didn't know what to do when it came to consoles. Some(most) of their decisions from back then make you scratch your head and ask "who's making these decisions?" Bc it was one bad one after another
I was 4 years old trying to play E.G.G. Needless to say the aesthetic always stuck with me! I looked for this game for years!!!
Nightclub owner Austin is a top notch aesthetic
The first thing that sprang to mind for me was Time Stalkers. A pretty neat JRPG-style mystery dungeon game with monster capture mechanics. I always really enjoyed that game, but I've not seen anyone ever mention it before.
I bought that game for $5, maybe even as low at $1, because the KB Toys (iirc) at the mall had surplus Dreamcast games for some inexplicable reason. I bought it and loaded it up once. Maybe I should try it again.
I LOVED THE WACKY RACES GAME. I played it so much as a child. Played Max Steel too. I watched the cartoon they had and we got the game.
I got MAD hyped when you named out Lufia I & II. Man, I have such nostalgia for those games. Mainly the second installment. 😅
I remember seeing a commercial for Sonic Adventure on TV as a kid, which made me aware of the Dreamcast, but that was it no more marketing, I never seen a Dreamcast, games or accessories for sale, no one talked about it. I thought it was canceled until I bought a used PS1 game at Blockbuster two years later and it was the Dreamcast version in the case.
I had a copy of Egg after someone was wanting to trading into the Game Crazy I worked at. I gave them $20 and was so happy because it was such a weird, unique game that I was surprised I never heard of.
21:03 I bet Austin has never been so happy to be wrong
Oh god I loved Toy Commander. One of those Dreamcast games I still fire up from time to time.
1:45 - actually the sega meganet for the mega drive (genesis) came first with its dial up adaptor inside the cartridge... but its also a technicality if it really was the first console with internet connection.
there also was the satellaview, but that was definitly an adaptor, so it certainly dont count, or else we would be here all day with addons.
long live the dreamcast and its lovable weirdness 💕
There was also a modem for the Saturn, an N64 shogi game that had a modem built into the cartridge, and a weird pay-per-view-like service for the 2600 where you could download games through the phone line.
@@otaking3582 the famicom had a internet modem made and rand net for the N64DD, satellaview was not internet but xband was
@@nate567987 I'm not talking about Rand Net, I'm talking about Morita Shogi 64. It had a modem built into the cartridge and had servers and everything. Although interestingly, most people used it as a backdoor to run homebrew N64 games in the days before Everdrive.
@@otaking3582 Yea I know I was filling blanks also was a horse betting program cart for SFC
I also got addicted to phantasy star and keep coming back to it every few years through private servers
A bit of background on No Cliche: they used to be a studio called Adeline, where they made the Little Big Adventure games.
Dreamcast nostalgia can really bring tears to my eyes.
You are the only person I’ve ever heard brought up E.G.G ! Made me so happy man
Toy commander was amazing! Played it with friends all the time
oooh, I played a lot that Wacky Race from Dreamcast game. My brothers and I played it a lot. Good times
Wait... Have you not talked about MS Saga? How is that possible, it's right up your alley.
My contribution to this conversation is Trickstyle. It was a hoverboard racing game. Also, nice to see you give a quick mention to Evolution. It was one of the first RPG's I played all the way through.
I should probably get a dreamcast one day, lots of interesting games are on that system
Omg, when this mentioned Infogrames I suddenly remembered the Monopoly game they did that was on an old PC that one of my brothers gave to me on my birthday. The computer did not have Internet so I mainly used it for drawing, writing and playing games. Then the sound broke somewhere and now it's pretty useless except for the drawing part, some still functioning games (among them surprisingly was the Infogrames Monopoly, which I thought wouldn't work anymore), and some writing, too.
@Austin Eruption Outrigger is supported within fight Cade 2 under the Naomi section. Seems like you were unaware there was a way to still play this game within the game preservation community.
I got E.G.G. for my 14th bday and I absolutely loved it
Played it again a few years ago and still loved it😁
Still play my Dreamcast to this day. Love that you included maken x. One of my favorites
If you think that OutTriggerw was cool, Midway developed two similar games(The Grid and I can't remember the name of the other game, maybe it was made by atari) to compete with Quake/Unreal Tournament that remain arcade exclusives.
I'm surprised you didn't talk about Napple tale, it also recently got an english patch
I never had a Dreamcast on release here in the UK. But bought one many years later as a retro console. I still have one but mainly play the games I own via the Redream emulator.
Super looking forward to Babylon's Fall vid you teased at the end there. 👀
None of these Unknown Dreamcast Games videos ever mention the Dreamcast’s best racer, Speed Demons. Such a good game.
I never knew wtf the Dreamcast was. I played it the few times my family went to Target or Toys R Us, but everyone I knew had a N64 or a PS1.
The dreamcast is how i learned english. My father bought me one that was modded and we had 2 cd spindles of games. It had to be every game in existence because i never got through them all. PSO and Project justice were games that held me for years.
I love a game that not many people know about called Heavy Metal Geomatrix. It's an arena fighter with weapons developed by Capcom and I think it is based on an independent comics firm by the name of Heavy Metal. It is a pretty simple fighter but it is fun, has a great soundtrack and while the weapons variety is limited and the stages are a bit plane, you can use jetpacks. What's not to love.
I love the fact that the dreamcast came out on my 4th birthday... i'm a dreamcast baby 😄 and i still to this day think that it's an underrated gem of a console
So I ended up being gifted a Dreamcast about a decade ago give or take, along with a copy of Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear ( which I promptly got rid of as it just isn't my thing ) and ended up managing to get a copy of the only game I still have for the system: Crazy Taxi. Even from the second I got a Dreamcast, Project Justice was going for asinine prices...always wanted it though. Equally frustrating is I had a friend who, on a mall trip once, ended up buying a Dreamcast on clearance at Gamestop with a bunch of games between there & Toys R Us back in 2002-2003...and once he saw I had one & heard me mention games I'd wanted for it he told me he'd just sold off his Dreamcast & games and would have just given them to me if he'd known I wanted one.....and among his games were Crazy Taxi 2, Soul Calibur, Marvel Vs Capcom 2, Skies of Arcadia and Record of Lodoss War :(
Maybe forgotten Dreamcast downloadable content? It's basically the first ever DLC. Did you know station square had Christmas side quests where you could win real life prizes.
Timestalkers! It's a randomly generated dungeon crawler that is also a crossover game from climax entertainment. So it has like shining Force character than it. I loved the game growing up even though I really didn't understand a lot of it and coming back to it I find it kind of solid but no one talks about it
Project Justice is a hidden gem 🤩
I loved Toy Commander, Evolution, Wacky Races, and Power Stone as a kid. Dreamcast was so rad.
Both evolution games were released as a single game on the GameCube.
Outtrigger had keyboard and mouse support which made it a good online arena shooter at the time.
I’ve literally never wanted something so bad. I love this thing and I thought it was the future. And I still wish saga world try their had at a console. Idk I really love this thing as a hardcore PlayStation person.
I have EGG, and i haven't thought about that game in twenty years. It's in my game room right now.
I really wish I could remember the name of it but there was a game I played the crap out of on Dreamcast where you raced for pink slips and opponents cars and it was possible to lose your cars completely where you’d have to start with a crappy base car and pretty much start all over again. I love that game so much cause there was no other racing game like it at the time.
I remember having Record of Lodoss War but no VMU, so me and my little brother were always playing from the beginning as far as we can on one go. Crazy times & nice video!
Hey man, not sure if you've played Oooga Booga for the Dreamcast, but that was a pretty fun multiplayer game my younger brother and I had a lot of fun with way back when! Definitely worth checking out if you can find it. We also had Floigan Bros haha! Hearing you talk about that game brought back memories.
When I was 10 I was obsessed with the Philips Tele-game ES2204 a first generation pong like console that had 4 pong-ish games and two shooting games that could/had to be played with an actual (fairly crappy) lightgun. Got released in 1977 and I think it had a fairly small market of Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.
I still have my copy of Record of Lotus War from my childhood! I found it at a K.B. Toys in the bargain bin for next to nothing if memory serves. I remember really liking the game and thinking it was rad.
I've never seen Floigan Brothers talked about before. Holy hell I felt like I was the only person who heard of this game.
Wacky Races..... loved the cartoon and the game. Dreamcast is so underratedl
