I posted this at /v/ the other week or so but I lost that thread by accident. I recently got a Dreamcast for pretty cheap and need some games, anyone have some good recommendations? I got Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram, a couple survival horror games, and a Sega sports game, so far they’re all pretty fun except I haven’t gotten the mech game yet so can’t speak for that. Anything fighting or puzzle like I’m down for, but I’m open minded so just drop any game you’d recommend I guess, overrated or not, cause I have like no library for it rn.

I have a few standouts that haven’t been mentioned yet.
>Ecco the Dolphin
It’s pretty beautiful and has a really nice swimming engine. Fun game with kinda wonky controls.
>Godzilla Generations
This game is trash but I enjoy it for some reason. Weird “cinematic” angles that randomly cycle, awful graphics, clunky controls, repeating monotonous Godzilla theme music, you just lumber around destroying shit. Pic related.
>Godzilla Generations Maximum Impact
Rail shooter like Rez or Panzer Dragoon, you play as Godzilla moving forward and shooting down military with your shoop-da-whoop lazer, also destroying all the shit in your path. Still not a great game, but somehow fun, and much better production values than the first.
>Cosmic Smash
Kinda like Rez: Racquetball, it’s a 3D breakout game where you control an avatar hitting the ball to knock out the blocks. It’s comfy.
>Propeller Arena
Legitimately fun arcadey airplane deathmatch game, it’s best as multiplayer. It’s a blast and supports 4 player split screen.

>> No.6095502

>>6095223
instead of making the translation's patch file for an untouched gdi dump of the game, which is better for people that can use it (emulators and ODEs), they made it for an existing cdi rip of the game (for burning to a CD) with downsampled music and videos. while more people can immediately use it that way, it means gdi users have to put in a lot more effort to get a proper quality translated image of the game.
it's disappointing because if they'd released it as only a gdi patch, people would've scrambled to make a burnable cdi from it within the day, but it's more work to work backwards.

Hey groovy dudes anyone know why my PAL revision 1 Dreamcast won't read NTSC-U backups? It seems to read Japanese backups fine from all that I've tried and obviously PAL .cdi backups work fine also. I've tried multiple boot discs including Utopia and Code Breaker but no dice. All but one NTSC-U games are not recognised at all by the console and Code Breaker just says it's trying to read them constantly. The exception is E.G.G. which shows up as an audio CD but won't read no matter what I've tried. Any ideas would be appreciated as I'm at a dead end here.

Only one I knew of was Divi Dead and it's a decent visual novel but there's a lot of archaic things you have to do to advance the story. There are parts in the game in which you need to visit areas in a certain sequence with no new dialogue to point you in the right direction. The artwork is great though, just use a spoiler free walkthrough.

Spawn: In The Demon's Hand. Might not be subtitled as such for Dreamcast, but holy fuck it's a fucking kingly pick for the Dreamcast. I want to own one exclusively for it.

It's funny how you don't see the irony in your shitpost. OP literally isn't talking about games. He's talking about what he wants which happens to be recommendations of games.
