- The Sega Dreamcast was the first entry into the sixth console generation, beating the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube to the punch and, though this head start didn't do the Dreamcast any favours in the long run, console was not without its highlights. Famous hits such as Sonic Adventure and Soul Calibur sit alongside revered classics, such as Skies of Arcadia and Shenmue, but today we're digging much deeper for the stuff you've never even heard of. Here are 10 Hidden Gems For The Sega Dreamcast!

Dreamcast is the only old console I still use semi-regularly. Love it.
Getting ready to do a gdemu soon
@@RemoWilliams1227what is the best place to download games for that as I am thinking about t getting one too
@@RemoWilliams1227I use the hell outta mine
@@jimmjimms man I can't wait. Had expenses come up lately but soon as I can. I also want to get the atomiswave games working.
My all time favorite console. It was so ahead of its time.
I still dream about what wild world we would be in if Sega could stay in the console business
I remember playing Blue Stinger on the Dreamcast with my dad. We had the Japanese version, but sadly the game always failed to load at some point. We never finished it
I cannot believe you guys put Ooga Booga on the list! I was waiting through the video to come here and mention it myself. I guess instead I will cosign this. Ooga Booga was a fantastic and super fun game. I have such fond memories playing that with my younger brother back in the day. We still bring it up to this day. Play it with a friend if you ever get the chance!!
EGG was this random game I bought from the local game store when I was still in HS for $3. Never touched it until a few years ago, and there was so much more to it than I was expecting. Great game. Wish I actually played it back in the day.
Bitch. I've been looking for that off and on for 10 years and i rarely see it listed under $80.
@@Mistahhuntah I'll cut you a deal at 79.99 lol
I remember when it came out. My friend was one of those kids whose parents bought them everything under the sun. The games looked amazing at the time and they actually still look good. The antialiasing what the big deal that gen and the Dreamcast looked buttery smooth. Great console. Too bad sega made some bad financial decisions. That was the first console that looked better than the arcades. That was a defining moment for gaming
The death of the DC marked the end of the video game era and the beginning of the interactive movie/simulation era (which we are still in).
@@pancakebreakfast3188 that and the era of subscription based battle pass cosmetic nonsense 🙄
The games still look great running on an emulator in 1080p+ If you want to try out Dreamcast emulation ReDream is an excellent emulator.
'The first console that looked better than the arcades'
That is so true. I still play Shenmue.
I was massive pc gamer and it looked better than anything on pc. Unheard of.
I love you for putting D2 in the second spot. I love that game.
This was the last console I was ever excited for. When it came out I was so blown away. My dad bought blue stinger with it and I was absolutely hooked. Grinding just to get that plasma sword. So good.
I still play my Dreamcast every day 😊..
Seaman...
Code Veronica...
Bass Fishing......"A big one is coming near!" 🤣
@6:05 I wonder if that had to do with the amount of video ram that the ps2 had at 4MB vs the Dreamscast 8MB video ram.
A surprisingly underappreciated game is VIRTUA FIGHTER 3tb. It's lots of fun, especially if you can get your hands on the ASCii fighting pad (2D controller)
Incredibly good and underrated game even by the FGC. Every VF is pretty good!
KAGE MARU
⬅️A+B, ⬆️A+B
(A 'chefs kiss' throw)
Cannon Spike is easily the best game on the DC, and one of the best action games of all time. I didn't discover it until many years after the death of the console, thanks to the media ignoring it at the time, due it being a challenging arcade game with an over-head camera view, and not having a first-person view or behind-the-back camera view. Back then, if a game wasn't pushing 3D graphics, then the media considered it garbage. The media back then also wasn't interested in promoting games that required skill, and Cannon Spike demands a lot of it.
Its good but probably closer to being the 25th best game on the system.
@@claytonweaver7335 I can't even think of 25 games I'd want to play on the DC. Most games of that era haven't aged well due to relying too much on the novelty of 3D graphics for their entertainment value.
I forgot all about that game. It was pretty good.
@@pancakebreakfast3188 Cannon Spike was a game I used to play inbetween games of Third Strike, CvS2, and/or MvC2 back in the day. I think most Capcom games on the Dreamcast aged well, tbh, except for Code Veronica imo. You also have games like Ikaruga and Mars Matrix and less conventional shooters like Rez and Armada. I could probably get to about 40 games Id still play on the Dreamcast
@@claytonweaver7335 I can think of 8 games I'd play on the DC: Cannon Spike, Gunbird 2, Zero Gunner 2, Under Defeat, Border Down, Triggerheart Excelica, Ikaruga, and Mr Driller.
Fighting games probably still hold up well (if you're into them), but I just never cared much for them, and the rest of the shooters for the DC are mediocre at best.
I LOVE Blue Stinger, it's so campy and dumb, but unlike Illbleed, that's not on purpose. It adds sort of an innocent appeal to it, and plus as a Sonic fan, hearing Lani Minella and Deem Bristow always makes me smile. Minella specifically is in so many localized SEGA games from around this time, it's always a great surprise hearing Sex Bat voicing a new character lol
I absolutely love the Dreamcast; and its memorable and legendary titles, of course. In fact, I’ve 4 complete and in-box Dreamcast consoles in my collection.
SEGAAA! ❤️
Why so many? Lol
@@user-vi4xy1jw7e Just in case one stops working, of course. 😂
2:50 actually there is a PS1 japanese exclusive game called Egg which is about rolling a egg around an isometric grid to form big futuristic cities.
Its actually decently fun.
I remember getting mine as a teen when it released 😩take me back please!!!!! Greatest console that never got it’s chance to shine!!!!!! And I always bring up Blue Stinger in many conversations about hidden gems, that game was insane to me and it was one of the first games I owned with the system.
no zombies revenge? definite hidden gem
I bought Blue Stinger like half a dozen times from pawn shops and video rental places in 2001 and NONE of them ever boot up.
I'm currently bombing my way through EGG now while stationed at an oil refinery as there is a lot of down time, I've just gone through south fogna with the level 2 access key after completing Metal Heaven level.
D2 was one of the few games I actually completed on the Dreamcast. The hunting and snowmobiling and horror element was a great game.
Blue Stinger was the game I bought along with the Dreamcast back in 1999 (two weeks after the console launched).
Midnight release with Sonic Adventure for me :). The memories
I was hoping SF Rush 2049 was on this list. Good shout 👍
Would love most if not all these and more dreamcast games remade or remastered would be great!
I played Ooga Booga when it came out back then.
here is another fun fact on msr, it is developed by the same developers project gotham racing for the xbox consoles, but the former members of Bizarre Creations would fund Playground Games and would develop an open world forza game called Forza horizon which was a successes that spawned sequels of it, even though horizon 5 is weird that didn't stop them from making a sequel, please reunite with Ralph Fulton so horizon can be that it once was
Funny fact (and POTENTIAL SPOILER)
In Sonic and All-stars Racing Transformed, a character you unlock is Sega Ages, and their Watercraft Racer, is a Dreamcast Controller!
(Imo) That alone made it worth the headache of unlocking the racer xD
One of my favourite racing games love the cool transforming vehicles and creative tracks
Jet Grind Radio as it was called in the west was absolutely incredible
did you know that SF Rush 2049 for the dreamcast is the only version that has no loading times? the PS1 and N64 versions have loading times
I now demand a "10 average games for the PS2" video!
Oh God I've been looking for EGG for years.
Tech Romancer was one of my favorite games back in the day. Fucking fantastic game. I wish capcom would bring it back somehow
I'm already subscribed and I love Dreamcast, but seeing Blue Stinger on the thumbnail made me instantly tap on the video.
I remember it being an awesome game, but I'd imagine the grinding and slow pace (especially to get enough money to get good weapons) would try my patience nowadays, but man was the dialogue hilarious.
I finally clocked it a few months ago on my super console x after getting the game on launch decades ago. You'll enjoy it and the nostalgia 😀
01:01 Very good!
There is no Excuse for SUCH Popups in Napple oO
Super magnetic neo was the best game ever. Took me til playing it as a teenagers to beat it. I think because my hands were to small lol
Yeah first time I’ve heard of it but it looks intriguing I will definitely emulate it as I love 3d platformers the magnet based gameplay looks really clever
Headhunter? Hidden Gem? SRSLY?))) It's a MUSTOWN for any DC fan!
I only have TechRomancer and Rush2049 from this list.. oh, and the mentioned Chicken for Atari.. 😂
Id love a D2 remake
i had EGG and SMN. i still have SKIES OF ARCADIA.
Instead of San Francisco Rush 2049, you should have mentioned Super Runabout San Francisco. Not only is it a way better game in both graphics and story, it's exclusive to the Dreamcast (making it an actual hidden gem) with tons of driving events that makes it an early predecessor to the Burnout series.
Exactly I was going to say that game as well still plan to play runabout 3 on the ps2 soon
my god I wish they did a port of ooga booga, it still plays amazing!
You can play Tech Romancer on Fightcade 2 if you want to! The Arcade version that is.
I was expecting Illbleed to make the list.
Wow! Several of these are new to me. Ooga Booga and Segagaga look (and sound when spoken) especially interesting.
Another game that I think deserves more praise is Alone in the Dark 4. Though not a DC exclusive, this game was scary as all hell! One could argue that the Dreamcast version is the one to get. I feel like it was unfairly maligned and deserves to be revisited. I would give it a slight edge over D2, which I never quite got into, but after watching this I’m tempted to go back and give it another try.
Dreamcast had the best versions of a lot of games, actually, considering it was bridging the gap between the 5th and 6th generations so received ports of previous generation games that were still coming out for other platforms. It had the definitive versions of Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver and Shadow Man for one thing, and it was where I played Resident Evil 2 (although I ended up playing RE3 on the Gamecube). Also, it was the best platform to play Grandia II on, although in that case it was because the PS2 and PC ports of it were _terrible._
why did I find that pineapple joke so entertaining?
Thanks i subscribed and like posed
Maybe the Tech Romancer cast will get their due in a Super Robot Wars Game.
Hydro thunder was a game I played alot
Al Gore's Rhythms
Suggestion: Popular/successful games with religious aspects/features or something like that
10:06 I guess unionizing is out of the question? Is, is that an Uzi?
Vigilante 8 2nd Offense.
Headhunter was a Dreamcast exclusive only until the DC demised. Was a great game though.
Damn Ooga Booga looks fun. Consider checking L.O.L! No, not that one.
I was waiting for power stone
starlancer should be on this list
I had D2, sadly my i was cheated, i unknowingly buyed a refurbished Dreamcast which failed a lot, so i had to release him after a few months, i still remember a game were you didn't hit the enemies, they challenged you to dance , had a futurist style and was fun, but i can't remember the name..
Space Channel 5 and it's sequel Space Channel 5: Part 2.
All those games are new to me.
Kudos*Sudoku
2:42 IS THIS EGGS?
E.G.G game sounds cool and looks bad arse
"It's thinking"
coming at you with engagement
A naple a half a pineapple haha nice
Guardian Heroes should be considered a hidden gem IMO.
Guardian heroes was on the Saturn not the Dreamcast
I know it came back out on 360 and ps3,but this is a dc hidden gems vid not Saturn or 360,other hidden gems to me personally on the good old Dreamcast are charge’n’blast,carrier,virtua on Ontario tanagram,plasma sword,giga wing,fur fighters,millienium soldier,incoming,I could keep going,lol,laters
But wasn't there also a Dreamcast game with a trio as protagonists, one of them being a dog? They were wearing all three of those futuristic outfits. Does anyone know its title?
MDK 2
Pretty sure it was MDK like Freddie said. I only played the demo, but it was a lot of fun.
@@freddiejohnson6137 No, the dog was wearing also a helmet with a cyan-coloured visor.
are you thinking of Jet Force Gemini for the N64?
@@Zack29810 Yes, thanks. That's the one.
Floigan brothers
I’d watch the he’ll out of “Ten Average Games for the PS2.”
And buy 46% whiskas
Minuto 5 cómo se llama ese juego
9/9/99 baybeeeee
When I liked this video it reached the 666 mark. Help me!
Last of us is overrated trash
Shame, the dreamcast was the best console of that generation
man, I hate how videos like this always have to have so many unfunny jokes. its relentless.
God that format of video is irritating, i just scrolled down to see the list.
So how much did you have to pay MetalJesus in royalties to use this title?
Also the Dreamcast is awesome!
I'd watch a list of average ps2 games. Just saying.
Too much talk from narrador.
Too bad I own all of these besides SGGG (can't read Japanese)
Spent plenty of time playing Shenmue 1&2, virtua tennis and Seaman on dreamcast. Good times.
Dreamcast was ahead of it's time man. shenmue, soul calibur, good shit man.
Toy commander was one of the best games on Dreamcast. Needs a remake.
Love the Jet Set Radio series. Really hoping for a new game.
the dreamcast is my all time favourite console with some great exclusives so thank you for releasing this video
You thanking them for making a video telling people to seek out blue stinger?
Sees thumbnail
THEY MADE A CHEECH AND CHONG VIDYA GAME
God I love the Dreamcast. Have just got the cables require to link mine up to a modern tv.
I would very much love to see lists of 10 average games for every console.
You should make one. These guys must start somewhere, and people would watch it. I know I would.
But why
@@user-vi4xy1jw7ewhy not?
Hoping this "hidden gems" will turn into a new series!
I'm so glad that someone knows Tech Romancer as it was one of my favourite gems on the DC.
Great video overall with a few games that I wasn't aware about!
My favourite console of all-time, and Sega would've got away with it if it was for the murky, sequel-machine hype-wagon that was the PS2.
I cheated so damn much in Blue Stinger. There was this place where the enemy respawned. And everytime the monster died, it dropped some coins. Repeat for an hour or so and you could by the beast weapons in the game!
A couple other obscure ones I remember enjoying: Maken-X, a first person *slasher* from Atlus about a guy possessed by a demon sword, which is interesting by itself, and it has a very SMTish vibe due to shared production staff. Also, Evil Twin, a third person platformer through a Tim Burton-esque dark dream world, kind of like if Psychonauts and American McGee's Alice had a deformed baby.
Slick looking game at the time. I got that and Sword of the Berzerk for $9 each at Circuit City when Sega announced they were leaving the console market.
And let’s not forget The Ring: Terror’s Realm, which isn’t very good at all but has one of the most unintentionally hilarious opening cutscenes in video game history. Seriously, look it up. The voice acting and animation are something to be savored.
Props for Maken X, I never see anyone mention that game and it makes me sad.
@@timothylewis2527 Oh yeah, the Berserk game for Dreamcast was also pretty good, iirc. Above average for an anime tie-in game for the time, anyway.
Maken X is part of the SMT Universe
Sega were so good at innovating; they were just so bad at marketing and timing
Blue Stinger is an aggressively weird game, one might even go so far as to call it one of the Weirdest Games Ever.
Seaman exists on the DC. Everything else has to cue up behind it for weirdest. 😁
For me it's one of those games that's so bad it's good, like Deadly Premonition.
@@lazarushernandez5827 that was a gimmick video game
Yes I agree. Ever notice how similar blue stinger looks to resident evil 3 backgrounds?
@@Max-zv8hm Kid the comment was made 7 months ago. Go find a friend, And no, anyone who has played resident evil 3 that isn't blind would completely disagree that's not even a "bad take" it's not a take at all cause it isn't comparable 🤡
10:05 bizarre how Sega is okay with having their public images involving their own employees shooting each other with guns
Sega Dreamcast lasted for 9 years in Japan 1998-2007
Oh. And of course Power Stone
Im glad Dreamcast came along
Had the best years with
PSO online
Crazy taxi
Quake 3
Skies Of Arcadia
Head Hunter
Ferrari 355
Powerstone
So many more
Nice list - props for including a couple of games I'd actually never heard of
Musapey’s Choco Marker is a FANTASTIC action puzzle game, but good luck finding it.
Also, Cannon Spike is underrated-you can play as Mega Man!
The Giga Wing games are great, and so is Mars Matrix.
MDK 2 is a great game if you can master the clunky controls.
An awesome mech battle game is Gundam Renpou vs Zeon. Even if you don’t like mech games, give this one a try.
And, of course, for those wanting a laidback experience, Hoyle Casino is the go-to game! Easy interface, fun characters, good reproductions of casino games-imho, it’s STILL better than any casino game on PS3, PS4, PS5, or Vita (and likely other systems, too, but those are the systems I have and play and can verify).
As a side note, if I remember right, EGG has literally 20 minutes of dialogue/story before you can do anything, and I don’t think you can skip it or speed it up. Besides that, have at it, Hoss!
Finally, everyone loves to talk about how Half Life 2 is so damn awesome, and it is…but what about the first one? Half Life on DC is glorious. Controls are slightly wonky at first because you’re usingDC controller, but graphics still look crisp and sharp and ahead of their time.
