I still play Seaman to this very day
primero consegui la VMU y luego la consola años después
pesky wabbit!
Dreamcast always felt like an at-home arcade machine to me. So many great arcade style games that are really fun to go back to today
you should look at the brook wingman sd converter you can use a Bluetooth xinput/ps4/SW con and a keyboard for ttd
That's a great way to put it.
Neo geo felt that way to me
I agree...it was leaps ahead of the competition at the time as far as a real arcade game feel.
That’s how I feel about my Saturn 🪐 😊
I think you explained the Dreamcast very well. "An intersection between old-school gaming and modern gaming"... Because this is so true, why the Dreamcast is still attractive to this day is because games are simple, creative, fun, with a huge emphasis on "gameplay first", a design principle which has been lost in modern AAA gaming and can instead be found in creative indie game development. Dreamcast games also looked great because this was the first generation where we truly got high res. (480p), perspective-correct, texture filtered 3D (the N64 dabbled with it but had too many technical shortcomings). Many of the rasterization techniques we use today, The Dreamcast could produce. Texture filtering, multi-texturing, cube maps, light maps, shadow maps, normal maps (bump mapping), hardware geometry culling. It lacked programmable shaders, which was the next big step in rasterized graphics. But all in all, Dreamcast games still look nice!
SEGA definitely was in their absolute PRIME when they launched the Dreamcast. And I love this console to death. I still play on it, every week, and all of these years, it's the only console which has always been hooked up to my TV.
Dreamcast is one of my favourite consoles of all time and you hit the nail on the head when saying it was the sweet spot in gaming.
Sega best console for sure
Dreamcast was the perfect Nintendo 64 upgrade, we traded our N64 with a lot of games for a Dreamcast in a store back in 1999. We were amazed by the graphics, we also knew a guy that could burn the games on CD. Shenmue 1 and 2 became my favorite games of all time next to Street Fighter 3th Strike, great times! I still play some DC games on emulator.
I wish Sega was still putting out home consoles. They were always top notch, and still are, in the arcade realm. To bring the arcade experience home was always what Sega seemed to be after (at least thats what I got from them) and they, imo, did it very well.
yeah they where true innovators
The Dreamcast is a fantastic system, and it's a shame it didn't last longer. Skies of Arcadia is definitely my favorite game, but I also really like Toy Commander, MDK2, the NFL 2K series, Grandia II, Sword of the Berserk: Guts' Rage, and of course Soul Calibur.
Cool, I'll have to try Sword of the Berserk.
Even after more than 20 years, Dreamcast still holds up. It’s interesting when the AVGN reviewed Seaman, he says the fact he hasn’t reviewed that many DC games was a testament to how good the console truly is. But yes, as for the console being easy to program for, it’s why it still has a homebrew scene today, and many of the developmental tools are still compatible with the console.
My top titles are: Shenmue (1 and 2), Marvel Vs. Capcom 2, Guilty Gear X, Capcom Vs SNK 2, Virtua Fighter 3tb, Soul Calibur, Rez (Japan only), Skies of Arcadia, Crazy Taxi, Gunspike
Today I bought myself a Dreamcast. I saw it on the local marketplace and remembered this video (and others where you had mentioned your enjoyment of this system).
So glad I did. Having a blast with this machine. Much respect to you Kevin, thank you for doing what you do.
So glad to hear your shout out for Draconus! I, too, played thru that game with both characters probably 15 years ago and loved every minute! Even back then, I never heard of or met anyone who had played it. Shamefully overlooked and highly recommended.
Same for me :) ! I wasn't expecting to see it pop out in that video !
Mdk2, skies of Arcadia and Shenmue are some of my favorites of all time.
Cool. I can't wait to play MDK2.
The dreamcast has always been one of my favorite consoles
Sega Dreamcast is also special because a lot of games released for it never made it physically to other consoles.
Just a few I remember
Cannon Spike,Project Justice,Tech Romancer,Mars Matrix,Plasma Sword,Confidential Mission,Zombie Revenge,Carrier,Draconus,and Charge N Blast
I've had 6 of these games you mentioned for over 20+ years now. Wow I'm old lol.. And you're absolutely right. All so unique and really fun
@@gm9984 I collected most Sega Dreamcast games back years ago for $20 and less before everything got crazy expensive. 👍
@@CAPCOM784 same here! I even once found a complete copy of that rival schools united by fate double disc set on ps1! I STILL play that one lol
I recently did the gd-emu swap in my dreamcast. having a 256gb card with a pile of games is amazing! Favorite system ever
I love Dreamcast as well. I highly recommend ALL the "Virtue" titles. Virtual On, Virtual Fighter, etc. Skies of Arcadia is an awesome RPG.
I really love the high frame rates a lot of games have, it really makes playing so much of the library still very playable and the best versions of certain games are on the system. Many arcade games on the system aim for 60 fps as well and it's great
I sold my 40 years collection of thousands of physical games, including 400+ Dreamcast copies. Now I collect games digitally. I fitted my Dreamcasts with GDEMUs and never looked back. It's also one of my very favorite consoles of all time.
Dreamcast and SNES are my favorite systems of all time. I could never choose one over the other.
same here
PS1 and Dreamcast for me
So many fond memories growing up with the Dreamcast. Watching this, I always was a nintendo guy, but it's like.... I love the sega franchise. Just so many reasons. It was like the underdog for so long, but the fond memories with the dreamcast are hard to beat. Very cool.
Dreamcast was a pivotal change that open the gate for the ones we had today . It will always be a classic to me . Wish sega continued.
My friend bought a DC when it came out, I was in HS, he was disappointed with it and offered to sell it to me, I bought it off him for $100 + crazy taxi. Man I fell in love with that thing, especially playing it during the summer. The cool thing was because it was a failed console the games were dirt cheap at my local circuit city. I bought Zombies revenge, Sonic adventure and Jet Grind radio, each for 10 bucks. As soon as i figured out how to pirate games it was GG mustve played 60+ games on it.
I think the Dreamcast honestly has more unique, weird experimental games I have guilty pleasures for. Such as Blue Stinger, Illbleed, Carrier to name a few.
Also Sega Marine fishing is like the best fishing game I’ve ever played, so much more variety & pure arcade goodness, with the fishing rod controller it’s a blast!
And you can use the fishing controller in Soul Caliber, because why not!
Worth mentioning as well is that a lot of titles had their definitive version on the dreamcast, to name a few Spiderman, THPS, Soul Reaver, Shadow Man etc... These titles would struggle on the ps1 or the N64 with low framerates and inferior graphics. On the dreamcast however the games would look crisp have a stable framerate and would look very impressive for their time. I always found that pretty cool.
I agree on all your points. Not enough can be said on how great Toy Commander is. I absolutely loved Draconus back when it came out! If you're of fan of it then check out Enclave for Xbox, PS2, or PC. To me it always felt like a spiritual sequel to Draconus.
Toy Commander is the reason I bought my Dreamcast! Now, I’m waiting for my Dreamcast’s replacement lens to arrive. My poor baby.
Omikron the Nomad Soul is also a pretty amazing game to check out on Dreamcast. It's a shame that it got sort of a mixed reception these days since it got memed on hard by that super best friends channel, but that game was incredibly innovative for the time.
The Dreamcast was the very first system I ever saw & played on back in the late 2000’s. Since my grandma worked at Sega assembling arcade cabinets, she got us a Dreamcast with a few accessories & sealed games. To this day I still play on the Dreamcast with games like SA1, Sega smashpack vol. 1 which is also my first ever game, & more recently SA2. I had to order that one & man is it expensive lol. Hopefully one day I can get all of the emblems. I also got a really nice golden shell & metal Dreamcast emblem to replace the original shell since it had gotten sticky after being in storage at some point, & the same for the GD-rom assembly. Recently I put in a Noctua fan & it’s a lot more enjoyable playing on the Dreamcast :)
Your timing was serendipitous. Thank you so much for posting.
I agree with you on all what you said, the Dreamcast aged well, really well. If I was given the choice of having one system to play while stuck on island for few years (that has elecricity 😄), I will be torn between the Dreamcast and Wii, both have many many gems I still didn't play and would keep me busy for a long while.
The thing I remember about the dreamcast was the noise it made! I got it home, put sonic adventure in and thought the thing was broken it was so loud!
I have two and one is much louder than the other. Not sure why.

“BEEEEEEEEEEEEEP”
“Wrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.......”

So glad youtube randomly recommended your channel to me.
The Dreamcast is my favorite console, it wasent originally sold in Norway where I live, but my brother imported it when I was a kid and I loved it. Sadly he sold it after a while and I've just gotten my hands on a new one and am loving playing it and collecting for it.
Great Video! I have to get a Dreamcast back to play some of the games you mentioned like typing of the dead, skies of arcadia, and Draconus. You got a new sub!
I still play the Saturn, Dreamcast, and og xbox annually, they are the only ones that still hold up and feel terrific.
Word! Still playing it today and collecting more than ever! Greetings from Berlin
The Sega Dreamcast is still my favorite video game console despite its short life span. As a fighting game fan it’s definitely a Dream, seeing as though it had a massive influx of fighters.
I'm more fascinated with Genesis 32X then I am with Dreamcast but I love every video game system there is.
Dreamcast + GDEMU + VGA monitor = Ultimate arcade experience
Recently came across a few of your videos and I like them. You've got a new sub :)
Awesome video spotlighting this relatively unknown game library to me!
Never heard of the dream cast? That's my early 20s lol. Sorry I'm just old heheh
The Dreamcast will always have a place in my video game collection, and it’s the best way to play most of the games released during that time until the GameCube and Ps2 stepped in but even some after that, and I think that’s that “sweet spot” you’re referring to. It made 3D games that seemed lesser on PS1 or N64 really shine their most, and even MVC2 on DC is better than PS2 imho. Great video!
An afterthought: I also prefer Ecco the Dolphin on DC than PS2 and I’ve tried that version on a fat PS3 in 720p with HD smoothing, DC on VGA looks nicer to me.
Dreamcast at launch for only 199.99 with amazing launch library was the greatest value of all time in gaming. They could have discontinued it after a month and just with the launch price and launch titles I'd have put it as one of my favorite systems. I had Soul Caliber, Sonic Adventure and NFL2k for over 2 years while people were dreaming of dishonest PS2 promises that never happened. NFL 2k and Soul Caliber in particular just absolutely destroyed anything else in the world for quite a long time for launch purchasers.
I'm always all about the Dreamcast so I'm good with this video! 🙂
Glad to hear youre gonna play skies of arcadia. Just dont forget grandia ii. That games combat was on par with chrono trigger
buying a Dreamcast and Virtua fighter 3 was one of the high lights of being a gamer,only problem I had was I felt the controller was a step backwards from the Saturn controller with it's six face button,the 3d controller for Saturn is basically a Dreamcast controller with extra buttons,keep up the good work
I love the dreamcast. I agree with you that it was kind of a sweet spot between the things we see now in gaming and the previous generations. I’ve got all the sega consoles and it is by far my favorite. It’s such a shame that sega died out the way they did I honestly think that if they incorporated a dvd drive like ps2 did it would have been a much different story but that’s all history and now the gaming industry has been forever changed and we all lost out on a lot of potentially amazing machines because of the stupid console wars and the fanboys (and gals) loyal to each company as opposed to just gaming for the fun of it regardless of which machine it’s on.
Very good vibes while watching this video. Keep it up bro
Heck yes! I loved Draconus and have wanted to play through it again ever since I finished it back in 2008.
Most Dreamcast games were 480p. Most PS2 games were 480i. Back then most of us had only CRT TV’s (I know I did) and you couldn’t see the difference. If you wanted to play in higher quality you needed a pc monitor with VGA for Dreamcast and a tv with Component for PS2. Most of us used the cables they came with (avi).
PS2 came with a DVD player and backwards compatible with PS1. The controllers had built in rumble and dual analogue sticks and twice the triggers. Rumble for DC was a controller attachment and there was no BC or DVD playback.
I had both. Returned the DC because of overheating issues after only an hour of play. It would need to cool down and eventually do it all over again. Dealt with that for about a week..
With modern tv’s today and other devices to get clean signals out of both consoles it’s an easy win for Dreamcast outside of a smaller library. I hardly ever play PS2 because the interlacing is too distracting for me.
I think the best we could hope for is Sega to release their games on modern consoles through digital downloads.
Also play Gauntlet Legends. It’s on N64 and PS1 but graphically the best on Dreamcast.
Good points
A fat PS3 is the best PS2 you can buy for a modern TV. HDMI FTW.
Adore my dreamcast. I agree regarding the sweet spot of it as a console. Illbleed, still love that game.
Loving the channel bud.
The Dreamcast was/is great! So many great games came out during it's short shelf-life. I will say it would've benefited immensely from a second thumbstick. I play my DC regularly as well, but that's what I notice the most when playing the 3d games.
I just finished Cannon Spike on my 27” LG monitor using VGA and it still holds up today. Superbly crisp graphics!!
Grandma 2 is one of the most overlooked, simply wonderful RPGs out there. In my top 3 and I'm an RPG nut. But, you MUST play it using HDMI, thus needing an adapter/converter.
It makes the game's beautiful visuals POP! Please try 😊
Also, I recently found your channel, but I appreciate your favorites lists. You always offer games that are less considered, but with sound reasoning behind it. Thanks!
Like everything is just a matter of personal taste.
But as long as I agree with most of your reasons, I must add another one:
The peripherals.
I just completed my collection of all the Dreamcast peripherals a few days ago, buying the Panther DC, and it is incredible how much the peripherals, most of them high quality ones, enhance the gaming experience to the point that playing a rythmn, or fishing, or typing game is a lot of fun.
As you talk about Slave Zero, I found myself using my new Panther DC with Starlancer and it was awesome, even the crappy Kiss Psycho Circus can be fun playing it with the Panther DC.
Excellent videos!
I completely agree with you, however I always considered it to be a 5th generation console than a 6th. The DC is also my favorite console system of all time . I myself found it to be imaginative, innovative, and different compared to any other system. The one thing that it’s missing for me is a second analog stick on the controller. That would have been icing on the cake 🤌
Seaman for Dreamcast, Its a good one
One of the best systems ever - still have mine
You mentioned something similar to what I am typing, in my opinion the SEGA Dreamcast has the highest and funest and replayable games of any system in my opinion that number is between 65-90 percent, nothing even comes close (except the PC ENGINE or turbo graphics 16) and some of the consoles with the highest none replayable games PS2, PS4, N64 and Wii each with thousands of titles can go as low as 20 percent replayability sad, SEGA was truly on fire with their swan song console and don’t forget to mention a big thank you to Capcom for helping to keep the fire burning…. and the north of 2k sports….. if this played dvds we would be talking about the Dreamcast 3 or something else, well like you my mouth can keep running about the Dreamcast and of all consoles more games are still made for the Dreamcast….. look it up, thanks for the video, I have been answering phone calls also for years to that awesome orange swirl and crazy cool SEGA sound…..peace
Shenmue 1 and shenmue 2 back then was stunning collectively, carrying over your save between games. No the dreamcast is stunning when you know the full library. Every genre has great games.
Dreamcast had few games that were fun. The ones that were fun are insanely fun.
Spawn was my favorite.
I bought my first Dreamcast in 2022 and its the console i most enjoy playing currently.
Only game i have that i don't like is Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Eagle Watch Missions. It hasn't aged very well.
Yeah, I imagine some of the FPS's on the Dreamcast look terrible now.
I only had the demo of toy commander! Enjoyed it a lot. I really wanna give it a proper go now.
Hm, this video peaked my interest in the dreamcast.
If am to get this system do you recommend any HDMI adapter so I can hock it up to my 720p TV?
Love the Gameroom!!!
Skies of arcadia for sure also loved powerstone and shenmue.
One of the greatest consoles from one of the greatest companies, I couldn't agree more! I miss Sega, many great memories of this awesome company 👍
Let me pet your cat while we take turns in toy commander.
But fr what a good taste I never owned a Dreamcast (was born in 97 didn’t have older siblings) and my dad was past video games at the time I was born he introduced me to the Genesis tho and and I’m a sonic fan since then, and I only owned a ps1 from that generation, and i gotta say that game looks so fun and something I would’ve loved
Toy Commander has what might be the best multiplayer in all of gaming up to that point. No cat petting breaks required.
There's actually a cat in the house in Toy Commander. You can wake it up and cause it to walk around. You can also shoot the turds in the litter box.
How was your experience with Draconus?
I remember I was playing that game for a bit and ran into lots of technical issues.
Just wanted to give some recommendations. Plasma Sword is a pretty solid fighting game by Capcom that nobody really talks about. Same with Project Justice. Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2 is a fantastic and addictive racing game, probably the best looking one on the system too IMO. The DC version of Soul Reaver is easily the best console version of it. And if ya want a couple great newer / indie games check out Gunlord and Sturmwind. Both absolutely gorgeous.
SEGA is not the company that introduced me to gaming, but the SMS was the second video game console in our house and through it and the Genesis, my love for gaming was assured!
Early 3D was really a growing pain for the games industry and it can be quite difficult to go back to 3D N64/PS1/SAT games, as most have aged less than gracefully. When the DC was released, this is when I felt home gaming had caught up to the arcades (or in some ways, surpassed them, as with Soul Calibur)!
Although Sony and MS have helped grow the industry, it was truly a sad day when SEGA announced they would no longer be making any new systems...it's like gaming's innocence died that day. We were lucky to have that time for as long as we did! (:
Just stopping by to say I'm mad jealous of your two (!) Nuon controllers
Thanks. I have four, but two are slightly melted. Long story.
@@GamingTheSystems1 Interested in parting with one of the slightly melted ones? 😜
I loved my Dreamcast, my top 5 games were zombie Revenge, R.E code Veronica, Jet Grind Radio, Illbleed and Marvel v Capcom 2.
Totally agree!! I HAVE just about every system. PSP AND Dreamcast are the funnest!
the Dreamcast is a 6th generation console and it did beat the ps2, Gamecube and Xbox to market which were also a part of the 6th generation, launching on September 9th 1999. but because of the PS2 launching in 2000 the Dreamcast was overshadowed. the Dreamcast was definitely ahead of its time.
I'm going to recommend you play the game Silver. If you are looking for something unique to the Dreamcast, check this game out. Its great. Yes...its also on PC (on steam actually) but I can only speak about my experience from the Dreamcast version. If you can find a copy, give it a shot.
Phantasy star online still has players today
I feel like I overlook Dreamcast because it just wasn't around very long but if I'm honest I probably never had more fun on any other system. The quality of the games was just unparalleled. And lets not forget online capability right out of the box.
Please make more videos like this.
Will do. I recorded two back to back.
I think you'll enjoy MDK2
Dreamcast is a beast but my top is the Sega Saturn. I have imported loads of JP games and what a library. Good video either way
I really find that the Saturn is superior as well. So many games I'm still discovering for the system in the 20+ years I've owned it. To bad so many games never made it over from Japan or were not well know...
My favorite Dreamcast game is Record of loddos war, you should try it, it's a hidden gem that unfortunately not many know of.
91 I thought I had a pretty good DC collection with about 40 games 38 to be exact. Its one of the only systems that I still have the Dreamcast and my trusty Gamecube there was something special about these 2 systems to me as I couldn't part with them.
The system is amazing. The only thing that makes it hard to play in 2022 is the lack of a second analog stick. It makes many games that I’m used to playing with two sticks, really hard.
I couldnt agree more about Sega not making more game systems..
We'll never know what we missed out on.
Dreamcast is soo good, I don't mind early 3D jank, might even like it. If you like Draconus a lot give Enclave on the original Xbox a try.
The Dreamcast was epic growing up - my older cousins had it - the graphics blew everyone away 🤯 NBA on that thing man 🤸🤙 neva got to play it though - I might have to pick 1 up 🤙
I have many Dreamcast games that I didn't even played once in the collection too. Maybe I need to do the same as you.
Love the dreamcast. Been playing g ready 2 rumble.
on that generation of gaming consoles, Dreamcast had 1 game that none other could top... it was shenmue, that was the best game of that generation
Everybody should have Bought the Dreamcast .!
It was too cheap.
Games was fun
And it was the first fully realized online system.
You right Dreamcast was the sweet spot of 3d gaming .
*the controller was a clunky if sega had streamlined the controller it would be wonderful
*angle the handles out & shorten them
*internal rumble to remove that extra bump under the controller
*added shoulder buttons the space was there 🤷🏾♂️ 🤦🏾♂️
* change the dpad to the genesis dpad
*slide the analog more to the right and slide the dpad up and to the left
*widen the trigger buttons
*rubber covering on analog
One game in my tiny tiny collection I want to play is Headhunter, and I have that Satellite thing too so I can play it in the US.
Really wish the controller had dual analog sticks for this game for sure. Great game though
No, you’re not seeing the Dreamcast through rose-tinted glasses. No console is perfect, not all the games on any of them are all golden… but Dreamcast was a very solid product, and I will stand by this until the day that I die. It had a very solid library, lotsa Arcade games brought to home (the Naomi board let us had ALL the best Capcom fighting games to date and I dare say, even more than the next two generations), many of the Sega IPs were sick, the music was amazing, the third party support had a lot of good things going on, the graphics are still good, the creativity of most first party games makes the games prime for remakes and ports today, etc…
Yes, it is one of the most amazing game consoles to ever come out.
Im actually only 27 and got into the dreamcast during 2015. I know about draconus because it was one of my first games.
The voice acting in that game is hilarious.
“We must know the secret word!”
“I have a word for YOU!...... DIE!!”
Skies of Arcadia my most favorite game ever
I totally agree with how great of a system the Dreamcast is, it’s right up there with SNES. I’ll try to make a list of sleeper hits and my favorite games I think you’ll enjoy.
Die Hard Trilogy
D4
Egg
Soul Caliber
Sword of Berserk: Guts Rage
Rayman 2
Blue Stinger
Chu chu Rocket
Rush 2049
Soul Reaver
That’s all I can think of but I’ll look up all the games and add any good ones below
I loved Draconus and Slave Zero. I could never get into Toy Commander though.
My top 3 DC games I've beat would be:
1: Shadow man
2: Soul Reaver
3: Slave Zero.
Of course Soul Calibur, Jet Grind Radio Ready to Rumble Round 2, Capcom Vs SNK 2, and many other games are all great in their own ways
BTW, idk if you’re a Star Trek fan but Leonard Nimoy does the voice in Seaman.
Wow Toy Commander looks cool 👍
