Honestly, a lot of Dreamcast games can be seen as underrated, considering that the system itself is often regarded as *THE* most underrated video game console of all time, and for good reason.
@@GoodGamer360 As a fan of both, the Vita is to handhelds what the Dreamcast is to home consoles in terms of being underrated at the time they were released. Heck, tons of reviewers seem to automatically grade games notably more harshly just for being on the Vita.
I really wish Sega had stuck it out with the Dreamcast. It was just beginning to get it's footing when they announced they were going to pull the plug which really put the nail in the coffin.
It was nice getting a Dreamcast for $50 at the local Media Play.....but yeah. I miss grind sessions on PSO, jamming out while driving in Crazy Taxi 2, force feeding other players cats in Chuchu and mastering every character in Power Stone. I’m getting bummed out, I still have the old Dreamcast packed up in a box but it hasn’t worked in years.
It does have more than 100+ really awesome games that are still very playable. I can't think of more than 25 PS2 games that i would still play. (There are many games on the PS2 that are better on other systems) And the Dreamcast is still the best console to play more than 60 arcade games because 50+ of them were Sega Naomi arcade hardware games that are 85-100% arcade perfect. And for those who owned a Dreamcast got to experience one of the greatest 2 years in gaming history because it was ahead of it's time, unique and different in many ways, more classic games than any gamer could have digested within that 2 years, and you were likely the only one out of your group of friends who owned one, so it made it even more special when they got to experience Shenmue and tons of other games no one else couldn't
Sony and Microsoft would've needed to fork over half of their financial cash flow assets to Segs without expecting anything in return for Sega to have been able to continue sticking it out with the Dreamcast!
I also recommend Tech Romancer, yet another contribution from Capcom. This is a 3D anime-inspired fighter with a cool branching story mode and features VMU mini-games which makes unlocking content more fun. Originally an arcade game, the DC port was given a graphical boost and is much better looking than the OG (think like Soul Calibur).
Headhunter is a great Dreamcast game that isn't that well known. It came out in November 2001 late into the Dreamcast's run and was only released in Europe. It still holds up pretty good but at the time it was awesome. It even had a bit of an open world to it where you would drive your motorcycle around town to the next location.
Great list. I'd like to point out one that nobody talks about. Star Lancer. This game is one of the best graphically on the console bar none, second only to Soul Calibur. But the gameplay, once you learn it oh my God it's insane. Play it in first person camera more for the full experience.
Great and interesting games that I had no idea even existed for the Dreamcast really have me wanting to go out and buy them. Maken X and EGG take the cake for me wanting to go out and buy a copy of them, but they're fairly expensive games nowadays. I know can just burn and play the game, but I'm at the age I want the official version of the games. Rayman 2 is often a game that doesn't seem to ever be mentioned.
I was 15 years old and it was passed the dreamcast days, but I had maken x from a used shop. Got to play it a few days. My mom came in my room while I wasn't home. So that m for mature and did something with it. Who knows what. Still mad
My First turn based RPG was on dreamcast called Evolution, i remember being so confused on what to when I was presented with choices Move, Attack and defend
I remember Zombie Revenge, it was a spin off of their House of Dead games, except it was a fighter/shooter. The story presentation was like an 70s-80s campy B movie. Great stuff!.
I still play the Evolution games from time to time. You can really tell from the amount of flavour text alone that this series had a LOT of love put into it. At the very least in terms of the world and story. The amount of throwaway lines in the airport where your plane is alone is kind of staggering. Not to mention that if you take the time to go looking for that flavour text, there's a good chance you'll find a decent amount of items, too.
I am a HUGE fan of Skies of Arcadia. Do you think I would enjoy the Evolution games? It looks like they have kind of a similar graphic style. Gameplay wise are they very similar?
I was thinking EGG and Maken X! Also Silver is a good choice but I was thinking Record of Lodoss War! 😎 Plus I was also thinking Confidential Mission and StarLancer! 🤩
@@usmanchughtai1751 Not in high demand I guess, but still you can get almost anything on eBay. At release it was almost nowhere to be found, same goes for Moho. Price had risen since release.
The idea of a decent DC emulator on Vita is amazing. But 4 cpu cores at 500 mhz... I don't think we'll ever see any 3d polygon game running full speed.
I know this came out a hear ago but I really need to know the intro music, no one mentions it's anywhere. I have been look for ape escape style music like this for ages.
Zombie Revenge: "it isn't based on an original plot" ...do you know WHY?? Dude it's based on The House of The Dead. I Guess it's some kind of spin off. Not what we're used to obviously but it's still pretty fun. I like playing as short shorts lol. Surprised you didn't know. Ah well, live and learn and all that.
These days just download it. Steamcast needs no mod,it uses a swap disc...ez pz........when a rom is this old,you so are not hurting the now defunct and completely rebuilt sega who rarely has anything good now. Yhwy rarely make great stuff anymore
ash sherman Yeah I know this, but collectors like original copies, I don’t like to play games I don’t own original copies of, feels unfulfilling to just download everything for free, no value attached. But I guess if you’re not that way inclined go ahead
@@RC-pj1pr Collectors are retarded tbh, it's a perfect analogy for how unfair and predatory capitalism is. There idiots out there wasting money on superfluous stuff like video games, while there people literally starving to death or working in slave labor out there
@@ashsherman People should download and burn roms regardless if the company is defunct. Pirating games and media is actually a form of fighting for freedom against a dystopian totalitarian society, driven by copyright, stupid laws and money, we just have a false sense of freedom, but you, the average person, is actually nothing and they see you as such, just something to be exploited. Pirates and hackers are freedom fighters in my eyes
Underrated is a very difficult term. Underrated by whom? If you review something, can't you rate it any way you think is correct? What was the average rating for these games and what do you think would be more correct? Not to slam your video, there are some really nice games in it and you present it well. Infogrames, is pronounced more like Infogramme, the S is silent.
Maybe, because no one know about those games, is like a game can receive a 8 out of 10 but no many know their existence, like vanillaware for example, their games are amazing but are underated because they aren't popular like nier automata, guilty gear or hollow knight and cuphead Underated games for the dreamcast are many, because it wasn't that popular like the ps2, there alot of games that need some recognition I aprecciate your comment, but i think he's not wrong at all
Poor character design, bad humour, idiotic gameplay, grim atmosphere, Zombie Revenge is to House of the Dead what Sonic Drift 2 is to Sonic The Hedgehog, a total embarassment. I highly highy don't recommend Zombie Revenge. If you're looking for a good shooter, try Millennium Soldiers Expendable by Rage Software or even Cannon Spike by Capcom.
Wasn't the Dreamcast really bad at 3D (alot or even most games were in 2D), or at least had its problems (just like Saturn) wich probably was a big reason it got pulled? Sonic adventure games, for example, have some really strange camera issues (wich was fixed in that ported GC(?) release), played more like 2.5D than real 3D. Also, I guess most games were shit... Since all "top 10 lists" pretty much consist of the very same games, every damn time.
No? Who told you most Dreamcast games were 2D? The Dreamcast was very good at 3D. Maybe you should actually play the games instead of spreading misinformation.

Illbleed NEEDS to be on this list. Especially if you love anthology horror movies and cheesy B grade acting.
Sad I didn’t see the PowerStone series on here :( powerstone on the dream cast was what made my childhood so many memories with that game
I think it was omitted as its a well known and well rated game. It features in other top game reviews.
because it's not underrated...
Omg, love your outro song. Nice to see the R4 soundtrack getting a little love

I'm a simple man. I see dreamcast and click like.
As soon as you mentioned canyon spike my wallet exited the chat.
Lucky1up - just get a GDEMU and try them all 🤷♂️
Good timing, was literally just thinking about what Dreamcast games to get. Never got the chance when it was first released! Thank you.
Hope you found some you like on here mate 🙂

Just started playing Silver today for the first time on my Trimui Sport Pro and I'm loving it!
Tried Zombie Revenge today and it's a Fantastic Game
One of the greats!
My First turn based RPG was on dreamcast called Evolution, i remember being so confused on what to when I was presented with choices Move, Attack and defend
Cannon Spike is my favorite Dreamcast game, and I generally don't like shooter games... it's just so good!
So much fun!
Zombie Revenge seems like a prototype for games like Devil May Cry.

I'm so early i watched this last week
@Ruby Leyshon Thats just how i roll
Should had list them on description with timeline! But awesome list man!
Do people still play these?
I was thinking about Maken X I didn’t know the name of it, but I knew by the title of this video it would be on here. I was right!!
Dooooood! These are fantastic games. That’s it! I’m ordering a modded Dreamcast ASAP!!!
Get on it mate! 🙂
Emulators...
Dude just get batocera and go on archive
Noo... Buy a Nvidia shield... U can have all the games for free!!!!
All dreamcast is underrated

Nicely made
Great vid man
Cheers AJ!
Power Stone 1 and 2!
Shenmue I
and of course
Marvel Vs's babee!
i have that same McFarlane series solidus snake action figure.

Who is waiting for a native dreamcast emulator on the Vita and this helped you build your future library?
That would be perfect on the Vita!
The idea of a decent DC emulator on Vita is amazing. But 4 cpu cores at 500 mhz... I don't think we'll ever see any 3d polygon game running full speed.
The Evolution games and EGG are good games! Kinda wish I would’ve bought more games back in the day!
For Maken X it says "Mac and X" on the timebar lol
I know this came out a hear ago but I really need to know the intro music, no one mentions it's anywhere.
I have been look for ape escape style music like this for ages.
Dreamcast is the best, on par with the New Geo AES and the cutest of them all, like the Color Classic, is the japanese PC-Engine.
God bless you.
Great list man, never heard these game before. I wpuld try the zpmbie game and rpg game
Zombie revenge!!!! Yeahhh!!
So much fun!
Garou is one of the best fighting games in my opinion
Zombie revenge is a great game If you like Dynamite Deka\die hard then you'll love this game.
No Power Stone T.T
Yo homi both those evolution game on big D are dope y all
no mention of power stone.. :(

gundam side story. Super sleeper. Nobody talks about it but i played a ton of it when it came out.
The team so needed work in that game but it was the best gundam game out for awhile
Whats sad is alot of these games died with the dreamcast and arcades
Finally, my suggestion for the next video is top 10 underated action games in PS2. 🔥
Next video up is PS2 Hidden Gems 🙂 will get underrated in the works though!
What about seaman
Loved that one, especially with the microphone 😅
I wish you could find project justice for anything less than $200
Yay!
EGG looks sick but holy shit that game is fucking expensive
