It's an excellent little console. First of all it's very easy to get into. It's cheap, and you can download self-booting rips of games, burn them to CD-R, and play them on most of the consoles without any extra hassle or hardware. When you're ready to invest there are several alternative options such as SD loaders and GD drive replacements. This means many legit GD-ROM games have remained affordable as well (although some are quite expensive).

Arcade ports are probably the highlight, especially bullet hell shooters and fighting games, but even if you aren't interested in those there are a lot of unique games to try. Like other "home arcade experience" focused consoles, it's a great system for pick-up-and-put-down games as well as multiplayer and party games.

Cannon Spike
A top down omnidirectional shooter (think Smash TV) with an emphasis on boss fights. The roster is an eclectic mix of Capcom characters. Some stages are straight run-n-gun, some verge into bullet hell territory. Easy to pick up. Every character has five attacks including an often screen-filling special. Great for co-op.

theres a bunch of good games op

Crazy Taxi
Everyone has played Crazy Taxi. What could be more fun than flying down hills and smashing into cable cars in your indestructible taxi? It's a fucking blast. Even non-gamers' faces light up when they take a turn. Not the same without the music.

Soul Calibur
Should need no introduction. A rare example of a perfect launch title. This is the game that made people understand the Dreamcast as capable of not just "arcade perfect" home ports, but of actually improving upon the arcade experience. Shitty video clip here for a decidedly non-shitty game. One of the most beautiful in the library in fact.

>>3783364
Marine Fishing is way better

>>3782768
MOTHERFUCKING ILLBLEED

>>3782906
Sega's N64 is the Master System though.

Dynamite Cop
An infamously campy beat 'em up, and another arcade port. Actually a sequel to Die Hard Arcade, but after they lost the license to the Die Hard name. Although there are several routes through the game, it's another that is very easy to pick up and put down because it only takes a few minutes to play all the way through. Pretty much every object on screen can be picked up and used as a weapon, including furniture, pepper shakers, a large piece of meat, and your enemies' bodies. And you can finally live out that childhood dream of fighting a giant pink octopus. Another good one for co-op.

I love this game so much I sought out a Dreamcast just to play it.

The the GCN release is arguably better, Skies of Arcadia is a great game and super comfy

>>3782906
meaning what?
it's for party tards and casuals?
it's pure garbage that only people in na liked?
it's kiddie claptrap?
what?

it's none of those btw

>>3783494
No it's Atari's XboxOne

>>3783510
I bought Bangai-O like, 10 years ago. Never played it; just sits on my shelf.

Was I the only one who liked this? It almost never gets mentioned in DC threads.

>>3783543
I did

>>3783516
Yeah, the N64 is none of that.

>>3783554
uh.. yes it is

>>3783360
What's even better is that it supports VGA. Think I'm going to pick up a Dreamcast for Gunbirds 2 and the Resident Evil ports.

Question about burned discs: Is it true that I need a special type of CD-R otherwise I'll wear out the laser to the point of it being unusable? Should I look into getting an SD loader as soon as possible?

And don't get me started on the Nintendo GayCube...

Power Stone/Power Stone 2
Sometimes described as the Dreamcast's answer to Super Smash Bros, but played in a 3D environment. Things can get crazy with very dynamic stages, huge weapons, and special attacks. Some people prefer the first game, but the second has four player support for truly chaotic matches with your three closest friends. I especially love the ridiculous, engrishy voice overs from the announcer between matches.

>>3782768
Console collection? As in the Dreamcast is the last thing one would get after Apple Pippin, Game.com, NeoGeo CD, Nuon, Gizmodo, and all of those Pong machines? If so, then games are definitely not a priority.

If you can't find a few games you'd want a system for, I don't think it is worthwhile to get one, so why bother with even collecting consoles? For me, I wanted the Dreamcast because I had a lot of fun with the Saturn and the release schedule did offer games suited to my tastes.

>>3783596
(Digital High-five bro.)

>>3782768
The tricky thing about the Dreamcast is that a staggering number of its good games have ports and remasters on other platforms now, like the Gamecube or even more recent ones on Steam.

It still has some great exclusives, but you might need to dig a little deeper to find them. Look up what versions of the games exist before you start collecting - compare and contrast, figure out which ones you really want on the Dreamcast as opposed to anything else.

>>3783583
GC is better than the Dreamcast by a mile.

>>3783608
It's a half-generation older. And part of what makes its library great is Dreamcast games.

>>3783608
Outside of F-Zero GX, Gamecube's library is pretty forgettable as far as exclusives go.

>>3783608
u no what it is?

>>3783608
lol

>>3783596
i am gealous

>>3782906
Not even close, the only thing in common is the sheer number of racing games, the Dreamcast doesn't have many platformers or 1st person shooters, on the other hand, it was a great machine for fighting games and shmups, unlike the N64.

The N64 is like the Master System, very strong at a couple of genres (especially platformers) and very lacking in many others, both have a similar number of released games too, around 300 or so, the Dreamcast is above the 500 mark AFAIK.

>>3783591
Fuck I loved that game.

>>3782768
I've had one since like 2005 and loved it but honestly, most of the good games have better ports on other systems (ie Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Sales Of Arcadia).

I think it's worthwhile if you have friends who would want to play it with you, but probably not for single player.

Also, if you can't think of any games you would want for a system, you probably shouldn't buy it.

>>3783575
No. I've been using cheap shit for over 10 years.

>>3783732
Sonic Adventure and Skies of Arcadia are better on Dreamcast.

Not really.

>But mah exclusives!1!!11!

yeah, if they were so good then why the fuck did noone else ever get the idea to make a similar game or port it in the past 17 years? Because they weren't, it's just clutching at straws. I mean sure if you had one when they were commercial, I wouldn't go out of my way to get into it now.

>>3782768
Sure. I play it almost as much as modern shit. Still holds up.

>>3782782
You can still play online. Mostly PSO autists though.

>>3782768
You sound like collector scum right off the bat, so allow me to say "no, there is no reason to own a Dreamcast", in hopes that it saves consoles from asshats like you, and that they end up in the hands of someone who is actually interested in playing games.

>>3783745
Literally all DC SoA has over GC is audio quality

>>3783898
And no censorship.

Dreamcast is the best console ever made. The NES is the second greatest console after it.

>>3783898
The audio quality on Dreamcast is shitloads better though. The out of tune symphonies in Legends ruin the game.

>>3783983
I think the Dreamcast is the console most loved by its fans. Well, maybe it shares that distinction with the Saturn, but many of those devoted fans are fans of both systems, so it hardly matters.

REZ
More of an "artistic experience" than a game, although much more of a game than say, LSD. Ostensibly a 3D rails shooter, your wireframe humanoid character soars through what can only be described as "cyberspace as depicted in a 90s hacker movie," leisurely dismissing enemies and picking up power ups, while both the music and the visuals become more fleshed out and detailed. The building trance-like music that reacts to your gameplay and gains layers as you progress is an integral part of the game experience.

Also on PS2, but that's not retro so who cares. It fits in better with the rest of the Dreamcast library anyway, if you ask me (both as a shooter and as a "quirky" and "artistic" game).

>>3784016
I was citing objective console rankings but this is true also.

>>3783591
>engrishy voice overs from the announcer between matches.

WELCOME TO THA POWAH STONE WAUH!

Doing impressions of the announcer guy to make other players laugh was a viable strategy back in the day.

>>3784041
you sneaky bastard

Slightly off topic but it just hit me... what is the best Dreamcast emulator at the moment?

>>3784146
demul

>>3783543
Its on PS2 also. Its like Tomb Raider, under water, with connected levels and little quests. Its not bad.

The DC ports of Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament are pretty sweet as long as you spend a few minutes re-mapping the controls.

>>3784146
>>3784216
Depends on your computer specs I run games just fine at console native resolution on my potato
>AMD phenom ii x4
>On board GPU

This is using nullDC it hasn't gotten updated sense like 2010 but its better optimized. If your PC can take it use demul as it is slightly more accurate, retrorch also has a core "reicast" but I can't speak for it.

>>3784342
>as long as you spend a few minutes re-mapping the controls
Or just use the mouse and keyboard.

>>3782768
here's stuff you can't play anywhere else for the most or is best on DC

>Virtual On Oratorio Tangram (it's on 360 as well, assuming you have one)
>Crazy Taxi 2 (not as good as CT1, but the only port is the awful PSP version)
>Soulcalibur 1 (SC is like the one fighting game series that has actually gotten worse each release, and I'm pretty sure SC1 never got any other ports)
>Dynamite Cop
>Star Wars Episode 1 Racer (it's on PC as well IIRC, but I dunno how running that on modern machines goes)
>Sonic Adventure (SADX kind of screws some stuff up vs original DC SA1, namely uglier textures and uglier but higher poly-count models -- SA2 is almost strictly better on GC but they fucked up some minor object placement here and there)
>Power Stone (both of them -- IIRC, there's a PSP port, but the whole point is playing with friends on the big screen)
>Ikaruga (arcade perfect layouts+patterns -- I can't remember if the GC version has any changes since I haven't touched it in years, but the recent 360/PC version changes a lot, kind of like an Ikaruga 1.5 or something)
>Cannon Spike
>pretty much any NAOMI board arcade game -- biggest issue is that the DC has less and slower RAM and a slower clocked GPU, but most games aren't cut/downsampled at all (there can be slowdown, like in a few areas in Crazy Taxi 1)

>>3784023
the big problem with Rez is that it just flat out runs better on PS2
it suffers a tad for being an early PS2 release (so, jaggies) vs a late DC release, but it's just smoother overall

>>3784942
Half the fun is trying to score rail gun kills with the DC pad, and playing 4 player splitscreen makes for some decent lulz when everyone is on equal ground with the controls.

I've heard that lots of stuff gets ported to Dreamcast by indie developers and other random modders, so I'd like to know if there are any after-the-fact games that stand out and are worth downloading.

>>3783898
Well if you play all your games on mute, then sure, SoA on GC is better.

>>3785205
Most of the homebrew/indie games (that are any good at least) for Dreamcast are 2D shmups. Sturmwind, Last Hope, and Dux are some examples. Last Hope, like a number of other DC indie games, was homebrew ported from NeoGeo.
There's also Beats of Rage, which is a side scrolling beat 'em up engine used by hundreds of fanmade games (often using sprite art from other popular commercial games).
Other than that there's stuff like Rush Rush Rally Racing (2D top down rally racer kind of like Overtop or Neo Drift Out on NeoGeo) and Alice's Mom's Rescue (tongue-in-cheek cutesy platformer).

>>3784982
>Soulcalibur 1 (SC is like the one fighting game series that has actually gotten worse each release, and I'm pretty sure SC1 never got any other ports)
Actually, that also got ported to XBLA, but it starts with everything unlocked, which was enough to make me agree with you that it's worse.
Also, adding Gundam Side Story 0079: Rise from the Ashes to that list.

>>3784982
>Sonic Adventure
The PC version is getting better by the week. Just recently, the lighting engine from the dreamcast version was ported over to it.

>>3783591
I own the PSP version, is this still worth playing on Dreamcast?

>>3783525
Why??

>>3785353
DC Power Stones are arcade perfect. Also it's kind of impractical to play 4 player Power Stone 2 on PSP since you'll need 4 PSPs and 4 copies of the game. For DC all you need is 4 controllers. Also, why anyone would want to play on a tiny ass screen as opposed to a nice sized tube TV is beyond me.

>>3785421
Not him but craptacular copy protection really just means you need 4 PSPs. And personally I'd rather play on a nice clear little screen like that than a big glarey tube.

>>3783462
It's worth it, especially if you're able to play co-op.

>>3785435
I forgot how awful the PSP's buttons felt. Another reason to avoid it.

>>3785381
>gif is of the inferior N64 version
gay

>>3785473
Now that's a solid reason to. PSP is handy in some ways, but it's uncomfortable and built like a piece of garbage. And the D-pad and nub are like tiny torture devices. The days when Monster Hunter was stuck on it sucked shit.

Still, I love the way it made old games look befre 3DS got good.

>>3785484
Surely you're not implying that the Dreamcast controller's horrific D-pad is anything to write home about.

>>3785325

It's really cool but I wish they could somehow backport this to an ISO of the Gamecube version. It looks so bad.

>>3785501
This. I'll take a PSP 2000 d-pad over the DC one any day of the week (maybe not the 1000, which doesn't even make an attempt to trigger diagonals without deliberate, excessive force).

Mind you, I do have a really well worn Dreamcast d-pad that works somewhat fine (I can play Guilty Gear X pretty fine on it), but it's still really uncomfortable and feels like pushing into a rock on your thumb.
but I have another I bought new in box like 5 years ago (there's an awful lot of unopened DC peripherals, got a brand new VMU that way too), and the d-pad is probably the worst thing ever, KOF2002 is unplayable, and everyone wanted to die when trying to play Marvel with the thing

it has an awful tendency to trigger weird directions since it's actually fairly sensitive (it's new), so enjoy jumping up a lot because you applied a little upwards pressure when pushing forwards
like, pretty much every Sony D-pad but the PS2's and PSP-1000's suffers from this (they don't have the problem only because diagonals barely fucking work), but not as much

>>3785325
it's nice to see that Sonic isn't slathered in oil anymore

I forgot the other important bit -- SA1DC is glitchy in different ways from SADX.
like, you'll fall through the ground a lot more in SADX (but then certain paths behave a bit weird in SA1DC and they changed the pathing behavior a bit to fix it, in SA1DC you might fall out of the loop in Emerald Coast before the whale bit because Sonic stops moving forward for some reason -- but in SADX, you'll have a fair chance of dying on the whale bit for no apparent reason, which just doesn't happen in SA1DC)
I think SA1DC is less glitchy overall though, but I mostly end up playing SADX if I pull out SA1.

been looking into doing the SD loader thing because my DC is finally having read issues again and I don't want to tweak the pot (again -- solved my issues for like a year and a half) -- and it's not media, actual GD-ROMs are giving the same trouble

Is there a way to avoid using the GD-ROM alltogether? My DC's disc reader seems to only want to work when warmed up, as in, put an official disc in, let it run about 15 minutes, then restart and try your burned disc. Seems to be about a 90% success rate with this method, but if I could avoid having to read discs at all I'd prefer it, the only other method of reading games I've seen is that GD-SD thing which works but still needs you to boot a disc to run the .iso of the saved games.

Normally I would just research this myself instead of asking others to do the work, but now that my thread has taken off I figure it wouldn't hurt to ask people in the know; is there any way of restoring the online functionality? Like, can people manage private servers?

>>3786310

Do you mean the SD reader that replaces the CD drive or the parallel port one? The former is really good, albeit hard to come by, but the later is straight up garbage compatibility-wise. Good for nothing besides running old emulators.

>>3787131

It's now being done on a game-by-game basis, I believe you need a raspberry pi. Chu Chu Rocket has its full online functionality back and presumably more games will follow.

>>3787131
Your dreamcast probably has the modem adapter installed. It could go online right now if you had a dial-up number providing internet access and a phone line to use. In some locations free dial up services are available.

If you don't have a phone line and a dial-up number to call, you can use another computer with a compatible modem to simulate a dial-up ISP by answering the dreamcast modem's call and shuttle messages back and forth with the internet at large. There is now a software package for raspberry pi computers called dreampi that manages all this, as long as you have a modem to plug into your raspi.

You could also use the broadband adapter or LAN adapter to connect to the internet just as you could've 18 years ago, if you had one, but they are rather expensive now. These are not compatible with every online game, however.

Quite a few games have been brought back online over the years by setting up privately run servers. I think Phantasy Star Online and Quake III are the most popular games still played online.

>>3786727
Yes

What's the best way to git gud at street fighter 3 on my dreamcast?

I finally got my dreamcast the other week and I've been interested in trying street fighter 3, but god damn that D-Pad is fucking awful for pulling off combos and super moves why didn't they just stick with the tried and tested genesis/saturn D-pad???

Are there any affordable ways to get a decent replacement control scheme or should i just give up, get a $30 fightstick and just do it on fightcade?

>>3790680
Make sure you've downloaded the right drivers for IMGburn. Use CD-R's not CD-RWs, Burn it on x4 speed or multiples of. If that doesn't work the dreamcast, pull out the GD from drive and give the laser potentiometer just the tiniest little turn clockwise from the face up position (around 1/10th of a turn)

If even that doesn't work then chances are your GD rom drive is fucked

so im trying to play a burnt rom of super magnetic neo but its not throwing enemies and the first bridge you hit down in 1-2 is repelling me back

what the fuck is going on
is the game corrupted

>>3782768
This is my favorite 3D fighter on the Dreamcast, and in my top 10 for the system. It shouldn't be, but it is.

First off, compared to DOA2 and Soul Calibur, it's pretty ugly. Though to its credit, it was made in 1996, so take into consideration other games that came out at the time like Crash Bandicoot, Mario 64, and Quake, and you'll find VF3 to be pretty damn impressive. However, it WAS a rushed port, and did look worse than the arcade version: characters had polygon reduction, some clothing details for certain characters were lost, and some stages didn't look as good as in the arcade. Overall, it still looked pretty close, certainly closer than VF4 PS2 was to VF4 arcade.

Yes, it was a rushed port. First off, the team battle mode felt very tacked on and nowhere near as innovative as DOA2's team mode (why I'm still comparing a 1996 game to a 1999 one I have no idea). Secondly, you couldn't view your scores/rankings until you either admitted defeat, or beat the game. Thirdly, there were no VMU features of any kind, not even character portraits for whoever you were playing as.

To make matters worse, it's light on replay value. Compared (again) to DOA2 and Soul Calibur, there are no extra costumes to unlock and there is no quest/adventure mode. There's not even endings for the characters, just a general FMV ending movie that you have to go to a menu to watch.

But what keeps me coming back to this game? The gameplay. I just love the dedicated dodge button and uneven stages. They really add a lot of strategy (or luck in some cases) to fights. It's a real shame that the VF games that came afterwards did away with these features, but that's life, I guess.

It's also a damn shame that this never got an arcade perfect-port to XBLA/PSN like what happened with VF2, so the only way to play this in an affordable way is on the Dreamcast.

tl;dr
VF3 is underappreciated and I salute Genki for making a decent, but rushed, port.

Fits both.

I think the Dreamcast is really overrated, but its got some great arcade ports and shmups.

Just like the Saturn I guess. I never owned either back in the day because they just didn't have enough of the current shit to be your primary, daily driver console back then. Divorced from their historical context, they are fucking great if you are into a handful of niche genres.


>>3783360
>you can download self-booting rips of games, burn them to CD-R, and play them on most of the consoles without any extra hassle or hardware

I wouldn't say its a no hassle affair. Protip - only download games off of the ReviveDC google doc (search for it online) other rips are VERY hit or miss. Trust me, I was floundering for days trying to get working games for the Dreamcast until I found this list.

Dreamcast discs are some kind of high capacity CD-ROM that you can't buy commercially, so the best rips are ones that someone hacked, trimmed the fat off of to get them into the 700mb territory. The mileage in the quality of these things can vary wildly, that's why I highly suggest going off of that google doc. My success rate off of that was like 90% as opposed to like 30% in the wild searching on emuparadise and ISOzone

Border Down and Mars Matrix are awesome. Twinklestar Sprites is a must if you don't already have the Saturn version.

>>3783495
I just played through this game with a friend for the first time a few days ago. How do you finish the game when playing coop? The final boss tells you to fight with your friend to find out who gets the reward. We fought and it never really seemed to end.

>>3783543
I really like this game in theory.

Love the Ecco games, but god damn the first two on Genesis are really hard, throwing in a 3rd dimension makes it even more difficult, and I've never really gotten all that far in it. Gorgeous graphics though, even today.

>>3782787

Tying your shoes isn't a no hassle affair if you're retarded. If you have trouble burning an image from emuparadise or isozone I'm guessing you use velcro.

>some kind of high capacity CD-ROM
How do you expect anyone to take your advice seriously when you don't even know what a GDROM is?

>>3783608
This.

>>3783626
But also this.

>>3795025
Because I bought a dreamcast for the first time like 6 months ago. Didn't know shit about its hardware because I never owned one nor cared to read up about it prior to owning one. I'm fairly handy with electronics but don't have aspergers so I don't worry too much about specific labels for stuff. Fumbled actround with burning games for it until I found a method that worked for me.

OP can take my advise or leave it. If you've got better advise to give, I'd be happy to hear it. Dont know how you expect anyone to learn from you when you contribute nothing to the conversation but "akshually" tier faggotry.

>>3782906
So it's an awesome system with great multiplayer games?

>>3782935
That trailer gave me a boner and I never even had a Dreamcast.

>tfw no DC or PSO

what 3rd party controller options are there
i fucking hate the dreamcast controller its one of the things preventing me from picking one up

I was wondering, ca you play those modern indie game releases on a model no 2 Dreamcast?

Try using those cool-colored CD-Rs, for some reason I've had better success with them. If you can get one to run, or get an official disc of any kind, see if warming the system up a while makes any difference in what it reads.
Sounds dumb, but my system needs some warmup time before it comfortably reads burned discs.

>>3795705
Pointing out that someone offering advice doesn't know what they're talking about is a huge contribution champ.

>>3795750
You could get a PSX to Dreamcast adaptor

Are you my retro games seller?

Virtua Fighter 3th?

Melee is cancer

The dreamcast is amazing if you like owning games physically and playing them on original hardware but are on a budget. The console and games are cheap enough as is AND you can burn games easily.

>>3797123
Smash 64 offers everything you could want from a smash game
>but more characters
who cares half of them are clones

>>3795750
Sadly, I share your sentiment about the default stock Dreamcast controller too. So you just got to find a way.


>>3797345
Isn't it obvious, I have not sold anything because Gamestop would have offered at best $5 in-store credit. I can milk $5 worth of personal fun in the games, not sure others are as easily amused as I am.

>>3782787
>Shit was light years ahead and revolutionised online console gaming
No. It didn't.

I'm sad.

>>3797953
Is that fucking cum above the paper

>>3782768
I like every capcom game on this platform. the only games that could have done with a dualshock style controller though would be Spawn, Cannon Spike and Vritual-On. I mean the thing is that Spawn and Cannon Spike were made for arcade sticks but still.

How do I git gud at Virtua Tennis? It seems the only time I can score on the opponent is when he trips, and I can do an overhead smash.

Fun as fuck game, especially when a long rally gets going, but damn, I can't even beat the first guy in arcade mode.

I remember playing this at an ice rink and it was fucking insane what happens as you move forward. What the fuck were they drinking when they were making this shit.

>>3795750
still looking for answers
i didnt know a ps2 adapter exists, just wondering if anyone knows if its any good playing dreamcast games on a ps2 controller. sounds kinda janky. didnt hori or anyone make an official 3rd party controller?

>>3800448
nvm, i just saw in that anon's picture that a saturn adapter exists.
playing dreamcast games with a saturn controller sounds amazing, tho, what about trigger buttons?

>>3783543
I heard the PS2 version is better. Only played the Dreamcast version.

>>3782768

God are you fucking retarded? It's one of thebest systems for emulation, its library is one of the strongest and has better arcade ports than all systems today (see: gigawing 2, crazy taxi, etc)

>>3800379

I dont know how you can be so bad, i beat story mode cmopletely when i was fucking 12 (in 2002).

>>3782935

I am really upset now.

I played this game at least 2000 hours.

I miss it a lot.

I remember having to explain the 'yen' charge on my brother's credit card

That fucking narrator sounds JUST like the guy from Jagged Alliance 1's intro, too.

>>3783596
What is that card captor Sakura box?

>>3783525
play it, i think it's one of the best dreamcast games made

Just make sure to change the controls in the options before you play, the default controls are unplayable

>>3783596

cant you at least fucking stack them the right way?

also why are you such a faggot? no fucking real US releases?

god damn

>>3783721


>not many first person shooters
>UT, Q3A

>>3783898

>music not mattering in a fucking JRPG
>not caring about having the game2 yeras earlier

>>3784982

i have ikaruga on the GC but really still want an DC copy.

>>3799304

I only had the demo of this on some fucking dreamcast generator disc

i really wanted it, back before i hated all furshit.

>>3800676
It is Card Captor Sakura: Tomoyo No Video Daisakusen. Basically it is a Dreamcast game where you stalk Sakura with a video camera. Above it is the Quiz Aa! Megami-sama game. There are more that I didn't take a picture of, like the Eternal Arcadia limited box which I like the cover art to.


>>3800689
I just placed a bunch of Dreamcast games there to take a picture, they are normally not displayed but inside a bin. I only have a few US Dreamcast games: Bleemcast! Gran Turismo 2, Bleemcast! Tekken 3, Bleemcast! Metal Gear Solid, Unreal Tournament, Quake 3, Ecco, Rayman 2, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1&2, UFC, Metropolis Street Racer, and Typing of the Dead. What actually would count as fucking real US releases?


>>3797953
No, it's fucking ectoplasm. All those loads of jizz you took to the eyes has got you seeing things.


>>3800448
I like the Ascii FT pads, but they do not have an analog stick, so they are primarily for fighting games.

>>3799356
"No, it's fucking ectoplasm. All those loads of jizz you took to the eyes has got you seeing things." ... misfired reply meant for you

Help. I've been playing Seaman the past week. I thought I could feed the moth to the gillmen, but it just drowned. Then I couldn't produce anymore larvae, and the gillmen starved to death. Now I just have two empty tanks and Leonard Nimoy isn't talking to me anymore. Is there anything else to do on this save file or do I need to delete and restart?

>>3782782
>Shenmue

Is there a more overrated game on the Dreamcast, it doesn't stand the test of time.

Is this any good? Been looking into getting 4 player games and so far I have Quake 3, Unreal Tournament, Power Stone 2, Rush 2049, Fur Fighters, and Chu Chu Rocket. I've seen some gameplay vids and the arenas looks really small, but it seems fast paced and runs smoothly.

>>3801860
Skies of Arcadia.

>>3802727
It's pretty shitty desu. The singleplayer missions are easy, you'll beat them in a day and never touch them again. You're better off with Quake 3 or UT. At least then you get a decent challenge, deeper gameplay, more game types (Outtrigger only has DM and TDM), and maps that aren't the size of a closet.

>>3782782
>And you could play online in the 90s.

Not true. Saturn could have done that but not the Dreamcast then. Japanese version of Chu Chu Rocket maybe but all we Yanks had were leaderboard shit at launch.

>>3782768
Disregarding the obvious titles most people shoot their load over...
Maken X was pretty damn good, in my opinion.
I'd have it for that and Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver alone.

>>3802748
It might be impossible for me to divorce my feelings on Skies of Arcadia from my memories of playing and loving it as a child, but my 100% playthrough last year was FANTASTIC. The only complaint I had was the encounter rate. The music, characters, world, and battle system still held up really well.

>>3803180
Maken X is definitely a gem, but it's a shame they censored the NA and EU versions by removing the swastikas and references to Christianity and Islam.

>>3801571
Delete and start over. Evolution is a process.
