    📢 JET GRIND RADIOOOOOOOOO 🎶🎹🔊

    Also both Sonic Adventures, Virtual On Oratorio Tangram, Crazy Taxi and I think I remember Sega GT being pretty good too?

    I like the fact that there are games that are still best played on the Dreamcast, or only played on the Dreamcast, since there was no follow-up console after it, or because the ports were not great. Today there’s always a remaster, backwards compatibility with the next console, or at the very least a sequel, so games just move along with the hardware. But the Dreamcast had some games that just lived and died on that system.

    Weirdly, most of these turned out to be fighting games. Probably because Capcom liked the Dreamcast.

    My favorites that are still best (or only) played on that system:

    • Crazy Taxi (the ports don’t have the original soundtrack, an absolute sin)
    • Power Stone and Power Stone 2
    • Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (literally one of the best fighting games ever, and it can’t be purchased on any systems today)
    • Cannon Spike
    • JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure
    • Project Justice

      I love Ikaruga from an aesthetic, mechanical, and presentation perspective.

      But it’s been 23 years and damned if I still don’t suck at that game. This coming from someone who can fairly reliably at least see the final boss of Progear on one credit.

        The visuals and music are what kept me coming back to it for years hah, but I’ve only beat it scrub style with the assistance of ROM rewinds. Some games are designed to eat quarters, I think Ikaruga was designed to drain paychecks.

        I gave up on DoDonPachi. Same thing, 20 years of just grinding and sticking with it, even did the classic “final final true boss has one hit point and I choke” move.

        Now I’m 49, my reactions will never be what they were when I was younger, the dream is over.

      I love my Dreamcast but Rez is infinitely superior on the PS2

      (I have the Rez Trance Vibrator)

    San Francisco Rush 2049 for me. Looked so much better than on the other consoles, too.

    Also Crazy Taxi. So much Crazy Taxi.

        Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

        Day after day, your home life’s a wreck

        The powers that be just breathe down your neck

        You get no respect, you get no relief

        You gotta speak up and yell out your piece

        So, back off your rules, back off the jive

        'cause I’m sick of not living to stay alive

        Leave me alone, not asking a lot

        I don’t wanna be controlled

        That’s all I want

      I always thought Soul Reaver played so much better on the Dreamcast then it did on the PlayStation. Great game.

      Strangely Gex played better on the 3DO than on the PlayStation as well.

    Mine was Skies of Arcadia - I know it also came out on GameCube, but I first played it on the Dreamcast. It was also (somehow) my first experience with a jrpg.

    I know is not a Dreamcast exclusive but I love Tony Hawks pro skater 2 and played it a lot in my DC! Also, Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxi.
