I remember it being pretty good. I played it with the dodgy controls before they released a huge overhaul patch to fix loads of issues but haven’t been back to it since.

It was supposed to be a trilogy too.

Man this brings back good memories.

Some mid-late 90s inspired soundtrack nostalgia that I think some here will appreciate.

I like the idea of collecting physical media but its just not practical for me anymore. The need to store it all somewhere and then there is disc rot and hardware failure make the increasd prices just not worth it anymore. I’ve been using GOG more and more over the last couple years as well as emulators.

Because it didn’t remind me of that?

This reminds me of the MGS one where the frequency for Meryl is on the back of the game case.

For such a short lifespan the Dreamcast had an abundance of peripherals too which were underutilized. Some of them were ahead of its time but you have to admire the passion!

• Fighting controller
• Arcade stick
• Fishing controller
• Karaoke add-on
• Maracas
• Light gun
• Keyboard & mouse
• Dream Eye
• Microphone

I don’t think it has as big an impact on players as it had on developers.

I think that’s a good way of explaining it. Shenmue can be a love/hate kind of game and with the Dreamcast’s short lifespan too it isunderstandable that mainstream gamers have never played it.

Fishing Controller and a copy of Sega Bass Fishing for the Dreamcast was good fun.

I’m a big fan of the lightgun more though and have so many good memories. Point Blank, Die Hard Trilogy, Virtua Cop, Time Crisis, Confidential Mission, House of the Dead and even Ghost Squad and Red Steel 2 on the Wii were all so good.

That’s amazing but some game companies should embrace and respect their history more. I spent many many hours doing laps on Hard Drivin’ as it’s one of the few games I had.

Game Boy Advance. Actually all 3 variants (GBA, SP & Micro) are beautiful consoles.

There are so many! I haven’t seen these mentioned yet.

It’s nice to see some recognition for Devil Dice :)

It’s a close call between Super Hang-On, World Rally and Colin McRae 2.0.

Dreamcast is alive and going strong! 2025 started off with a game jam too.

I don’t collect anymore. I do still have a small amount of stuff that I enjoy but overall it’s too expensive, not enough space, unreliable media etc…

Probably true. A lot of the fans, like me, are from day one and never left.

For a console that lived a short life the fan base is absolutely amazing.
