Yesterday
Joystiq spotted a
Slashdot article on
Retroboy that analyzed games that shaped the Dreamcast. Nobody makes a perfect list. Hell, we're sure to give you plenty of shitty ones in the near future.I wanted to add one more significant launch title that I think a lot of people have forgotten (you bastards):
Ready 2 Rumble!
The smack-talkin' wiry AFRO-THUNDER was the showpiece game for the Dreamcast launch, nobody had ever seen a boxing game move that fluidly and for the first time we were seeing natural 3d facial expressions on a console. Even the hired voice of the announcer was a really big deal. Afro was also the signature fella of those early commercials. The game itself wasn't all that great and its sequel tanked, but it was succesful in turning a lot of heads and getting people to the stores.
Despite that the commercial industry has said about it, the Dreamcast was a truly bad-ass console and I'm sure there are many of us who still
use it as a multi console emulator play it today. Here's what they have on their list:
- Soul Calibur
- Shenmue
- Jet Grind Radio
- Crazy Taxi
- Virtua Tennis & Tennis 2K2
- Skies of Arcadia
- Power Stone & Power Stone 2
- Sonic Adventure & Sonic Adventure 2
- Full Review of Sonic Adventure 2
- Samba De Amigo
- Virtua Fighter 3TB
- Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future
- Chu Chu Rocket!
- Phantasy Star Online
- Street Fighter 3:Third Strike and other Fighters
- Ikaruga
Found another hole in the bucket?
Tell them what else they missed here. (cough Tokyo Xtreme cough)

When I first got that game, I played it for 45 hours NONSTOP. Seriously. Not just no sleep, but no eating either. The game had me that good.
