Giant Bomb Video Game News
Video Game News, Stories and Updates for the PS3, XBOX 360, PC, PSP, Wii, and DS
But hey, wasn't it was a great console while it lasted? We thought about going all long-winded nostalgia on you, but Peter Moore did a better job with a nice history lesson already. Instead, we decided to simply pick out a few of our favorite Dreamcast games and record some Quick Look videos. (Nine, in fact, for 9/9/99, you know?) These aren't necessarily the best DC games ever, they're just nine that we remember fondly. Soul Calibur was pretty amazing back then too, for the record.
OK, first hit is free! Let's go with that terrifying fever dream of a puzzle-action game from Sonic Team, ChuChu Rocket.
Aaaaand the remaining eight videos.
- Sonic Adventure
- Crazy Taxi
- Jet Grind Radio
- Shenmue
- Samba de Amigo
- The Typing of the Dead
- Virtua Tennis
- Power Stone 2
Oh yeah, you might want to watch this while I've got your attention. May it haunt your dreams always as it has mine.
Hey, while you're watching, why not post your own favorite Dreamcast memories in the comments?

And I was really surprised by Virtua Tennis, that game looks great.

i bought a Dreamcast like 3 years ago, brand new from Amazon for like $60 bucks. Best 60 spend ever.
I may purchase another one soon though to play through the "must-play" titles that I have missed.
Crazy Taxi, Funtimes! Ohhh Yeaahh.
I miss the Dreamcast. Their sports lineup was incredible, and the original Soul Calibur is still a classic.
I miss the Dreamcast, lots.
Imagine if the Dreamcast was on a ten year cycle?
We would just now be getting our hands on the next Sega console...
Very surreal.
First console that I played proper multiplayer on.
I loved my dreamcast. Sadly after a few months it developered a wierd video problem where it looked like the right side of the screen was bleeding white light (and bending the video in the process) onto as many TV's as we could try (and nothing else we owned did it). My mum sent it back to Sony many times during the 1 year warrenty and it always came back with the same problem. After the warrenty was up I think she just binned it :( Even though I protested.
I always have a soft spot for that system, I loved (and still play it on PC) Sonic Adventure, PSO (though until Blue Burst I never played it online), Slave Zero, Gunbird (a shooter which released in some places as Mobile Light Force with no game changes but a crappy charlie angels style picture on the front that had nothing to do with the game) and a few others.
I so no need to buy one again and build up a new collection of awesome stuff.
it was the 1st game soundtrack i ever bought.
oh and i almost failed high school over Phantasy star online...... man great times!!!
Still, it's interesting to see a console that people remember fondly despite it failing.
EDIT: Brad, you forgot the most important video of all.
Dude I'm loving the Dreamcast content today. My personal favorite Dreamcast game is Soul Calibur.
Last time I checked, it died when it was 2 or 3 years old.
