Loved the Dreamcast, by far Sega’s greatest creation in my opinion, phenomenal console. I’ll chip in with two games that NEVER get talked about. I’m not sure if they’re, ahem, (Metal Jesus voice) “Hidden Gems”, but I enjoyed them: Silver and Sega GT.
Silver 🙂. Sega GT was ok. A lot of content but there are better racing games like Daytona 2001, Ferrari F355 Challenge, Le Mans 24hr and whilst not perfect Sega Rally 2
One thing about the dreamcast that I liked is the pick up and play nature of the dreamcast games. You can play for 15 minutes bust of games play without having to sit for hours in front of a TV.
Outstanding video!!!! The Dreamcast is still one of my all-time favorites and has plenty of fun games to play!! Fortunately, I still have my one from Christmas 1999. I really like the 2K/Sega Sports Series, Crazy Taxi, Soul Calibur, Ready 2 Rumble Boxing - Rounds 1 and 2, Hydro Thunder, Marvel vs. Capcom, Virtua Tennis and several more. Dynamite Cop looks very interesting and based on your recommendation, I am going to have to pick it up later on down the road.
Zombie Revenge was one of the original 3 games I bought with my Dreamcast (along with Crazy Taxi and Soul Reaver). Loved it then, still love it now. “Boolets. Boolets.”
Oh HELL YEAH! This was the one i was waiting for and it did not disappoint! So glad you guys mentioned Confidential Mission, we used to play the hell out of it. I still fire the Dreamcast up a good bit. Capcom vs SNK2, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Tennis 2K2, 18 Wheeler American Pro Trucker, I could go on. Another great video in the series, cheers guys.
Just picked up and installed a GDEMU, I am now starting to experience how incredible this console is. You guys are absolutely right so many great titles and more people need to see what all the hype was about. Arcade heaven would be the best way to describe it.
One of my favorite consoles, I play a lot of Sega Dreamcast, a lot of the racing and Light gun games, the only light gun game I don't have is the one that you didn't mention," Death Crimson OX ", an idea for a new video maybe you guys can go on a deep dive on all console light gun games, from the very first console light gun games to the very last one. 🤘🕹🎮🍻
My brother and I had the dream dreamcast, and it was awesome. I remember being blown away by the graphics at the time. It was amazing technology for its time, and I was really sad to see it die off.
I definitely agree with that statement! If given a full console life it would of definitely been in the running for greatest system of all time! Cheers!
I sure wish that the Sega would have played their cards right with the Dreamcast. There were so many great games on there for its short time. Shenmue was one of my favorite games and I actually ranked Shenmue as one of my top 10 favorite games of all time on my channel. The Dreamcast was like the predecessor to the Xbox.
Yeah it so sad that things fell apart for Sega! It led to the Dreamcast death! Shenmue is definitely a staple of the Dreamcast and is an amazing game! We call the Xbox the Dreamcast 2! Cheers!
Great upload brother, long live the Dreamcast born in 1984, so lucky and blessed to be born around that time what a perfect time to be alive 8-bit era 16-bit era 32-bit era 64-bit era. The Best-bit era 128! Sega Dreamcast is the best game console of all time, I wish I could fist bump you brother 9-9-99!!! Greatest day on earth!!!! Got lucky and got the very last one at Circuit City!! I can talk about the DC all day and night long I hope SEGA release a sega dreamcast mini, thank you for taking me back brother nostalgic at best !!
A sega dremacast mini would be 🔥! Its definitely one of my all time favorite consoles! If it got a full console life it would of easily been in the discussion of all time greatest consoles! Cheers!
Great video, guys. I doubt some of these games would be on my top 10 but they're all bangers that everyone should play. And it shows how diverse and rich the Dreamcast library is. It's also great to see a top 10 that avoids the usual suspects. I'd love to see you do a list like this for Saturn. Keep on rocking, guys.
Thanks man! By the way this isnt a top 10 its just 10 games we play in 2022 with some honorable mentions! We plan to do a list for all the consoles we own and we do own the saturn! Cheers!
When I was little, my friend let me borrow his Dreamcast for a week. I had a N64 but the Dreamcast blew me away that when I reluctantly returned it, I asked my parents for one for my birthday. By the time it came around, they confusingly walked into ToysRUs and saw that Sega had left hardware and Dreamcast was no longer sold. I ended up with a PS2 instead which was also awesome, but that story kinda underlines how quickly the Dreamcast died, that the word of mouth didn’t get to spread to people and give them a chance to buy it in the third or second year. NTM GTA3 could have been a Dreamcast exclusive which would have changed everything.
@@GamingOffTheGrid Marketing was the least of Sega's problems. The disconnect between SoJ and SoA led to SoA going all-in on Megadrive/Genesis add-ons and getting surprised by the announcement of the Saturn and having to immediately drop support for all the expensive gear people bought. Then the Saturn was a 2D console with an extra chip tacked on at the last minute to get it doing 3D, and lacked a killer app with wide-appeal. Then Sega's bad decisions surrounding the Saturn came home to roost and they dropped support for the failing Saturn platform like a ginger step-child to focus on the Dreamcast, at which point Sega fans had lost all faith in Sega's willingness to support a console and deliver must-have games. Add to that the ease of pirating on the DC driving away big publishers, and the impending PS2 launch which would offer not only a step up in terms of graphics, but one of, if not the first, DVD players for less than $500 and they just couldn't get people hyped for it at the time. The Dreamcast really proves the adage that you don't know what you've lost until it's gone.
I still love my Dreamcast. I bought it with my own money as well. I even still got the EGM magazine with it's reveal on the cover with that date that we will all remember. I think dynamite cop was originally a die hard arcade game. Zombie revenge is my beat em up go to. Crazy taxi 2 is great . I still have sonic adventure 2 and that's a pricey game. But I still play hydro thunder and rippin riders. Oh zombie revenge is in the house of the dead universe. Cheers guys. Keep up the good content.
As a kid, Jedi Power Battles, Star Wars Racer, Spiderman, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, and the freaking demo disc all kept me satiated for so long. GAMEPLAY at the core of a console is a culmination of everything that goes into a game, and the Dreamcast fam NAILED it.
When I graduated from highschool I bought the Dreamcast with some of the graduation money I got. I bought the sega sports variant and bought power stone 2, shenmue and MVC2, took it with me to trade school and spent hours playing MVC2 with my roommates. I don't have my original Dc but starting to collect for it again. Definitely in my top 5 of all systems.
That's awesome. Definitely so good memories right there and having that appreciation getting it with your money. The Sega Sports black console was one I always wanted, but already had the white one and didn't have the disposable income then. Now it's so expensive trying to find a decent one
Dynamite cop is always great to pop in for hours or just a quick play session. Zombie's revenge is tough but a lot of funs. Boooolets. Bangi-O, E.G.G, Soul Caliber are a couple more that are fun to play for a little or a lot.
Great list! Chu Chu Rocket, Tokyo Extreme Racer 1 & 2, Outtrigger, and Sega Bass Fishing & Sega Marine Fishing with the fishing rod controller are some other ones I play frequently.
@@GamingOffTheGrid If you like SEGA arcade games, you'll probably like them. That's why I love the Dreamcast hardware: it's the system that is most like the arcade.
Great list guys! I play House Of The Dead 2 yearly as well as Zombie Revenge and they never get old. I have never seen Confidential Mission, I will be looking out for that one.
Love these style of videos and would love to see ones on Sega Saturn/CD and the PS1 as well 👍 Dreamcast is my favorite system ever and its cool to see Soldier of fortune get some love as well (god the screams of your enemies still haunt my dreams) and as for other incredible affordable titles I highly recommend Toy Commander, MDK 2, Sports Jam, Max Steel, and Test Drive V rally just to name a few Keep up the cool videos my boys 😎
It’s cool that the Sega DC was your first console you purchased Wes. Really enjoying this series. Back then we had a group of friends that were gamers and no one had the Dreamcast, cheers!
Thanks brotha! We've been putting out less videos because of this series. It takes so damn much time. With that being said, we've been enjoying things so much more. Playing games is how it all started. Glad you enjoy. Cheers!
I love me some Dreamcast! When it was discontinued I went from GameStop to GameStop buying up stock. I had boxes of consoles, accessories, and games at one point. Just held onto it long enough for it gain value. Games I bought for $5, I sold in a couple years down the road for near full price. Wish I had held onto it longer before selling the stock.
Completely agree with what Wes said about how mind-blowing the 2k sports games were. IMO the leap forward in sports realism on the Dreamcast (from PS1/N64/SS graphics) is bigger than any other leap between console generations.
Dude, I'm so glad you are on the same page. It's definitely a "had to be there in the moment" type of thing. Man, we grew up at the best time. I truly wouldn't change it for anything. Cheers to the memories brotha!
100 percent man. Seeing Sonic Adventure at Toys R Us display in 99 and then seeing NBA 2K at a friends house who had gotten Dreamcast that Christmas lol. 4th grade me didn’t think graphics could get any better.
Soldier of Fortune, I remember playing that game and I absolutely loved it. I remember a few fan created maps as well. I played it on the PC though, I didn’t realize it was on the Dreamcast too.
Awesome video guys the Dreamcast is fantastic! It was also the first console I bought with my own money. Funny story about how I got the money for the console: in my last year of high school in 2000 I was part of a job training program for summer school and I got a job at 989 studios as a QA tester on ATV off-road fury for PS2 now this was before the PS2 launched in the US (it was August 2000) and with my first $400 paycheck I went right to the local Funcoland and I bought my own Dreamcast and a couple launch games including NFL 2K and the next work day I brought it into the Sony offices and me and the boys were playing NFL 2K on it and everyone was having a blast. I'll never forget that. If you happen to have a copy of ATV offroad fury for PS2 look me up in the credits in the back under QA! Matt Swain.
Awesome video. Absolutely love this series being a "what we're playing" vs "top 10" because top 10's are ever changing! I just found a HOTD 2 strategy guide for the Dreamcast! Do you have it? Also please keep this going and do every generation it's so fun to see what you're playing and think about what I'm playing!
Have 150 pal games in my collection and still regularly play with my brother. We're 39 and 37 years of age and love reliving it. We play about 4 times a week Ready to Rumble Virtua Tennis Revolt Soul Calibur Marvel vs Capcom 2 Power Stone 1 and 2 Love this console so much!
Dude, buddy and I were playing Zombie's Revenge on DC when it came out and we had a hell of a time beating the game, then one day we realized that you could change the button controls and once we did that the next play through, we dominated it and made it our Be-otch. We laughed so hard that changing the button layout was the secret to beating the game. Cannon Spike is one I would like to add to the collection, but damn it's pricey. The Smash Pack is a great concept and great that you get Virtua Cop 2, but the emulation especailly the sound and Music is so horrible on some of those games.
Great video guys. I have a Dreamcast and there’s a lot of great games to play. Maybe you guys should do next is the psp because it sold very well I do believe and it probably is one of the most under rated handheld. Great video
Great recommendations, I played a lot of these classics, great memories, I don't know why Sega bowed out early with the Dreamcast, it had great graphics and good 3rd party support from Capcom and it had it's Sega exclusives, well it's still a great system, check out Berserk, a 3rd person action hack and slash based on the anime of the same name. Project Justice, a sequel to Rival Schools fighting game from Capcom, and Fighting Vipers 2, the sequel to the arcade original fighting game from Sega. Keep up the good work.
Another of my personal favorites is Chu Chu Rocket! I will never forget all the fun I had playing it with family and friends. Test Drive Le Mans blew me away back then too for my racing fix.
I never minded the four button for player movement configuration. Once the keyboard and mouse came out, of course that all changed. I have 2 DC’s. I even still have a Panther stick/trackball by Madcatz. DC was amazing, even for the short lifespan.
Yeah we arent familar with gaming with keyboard and mouses. We game on home consoles! Ive dabbled very little pc style! DC deserved a longer lifespan! Cheers!
@@GamingOffTheGrid I wasn’t either and was console only until the DC. Had 1 gaming Pc and have since gone back to all my retro consoles. Good stuff guys.
Daytona USA 2001 is forever. Draconus Cult of the Worm is a sleeper hit too. Starts off kinda meh but gets really good as you progress further. Your character goes through "changes" -- I'll leave it there.
Thank you for another banger! Never had Dreamcast but I remember when I first saw one of my older brothers with one and instantly thought....wtf is dis?!!?!😅🍻🍺
It was a game changer for sure! I’ll never forget seeing NBA 2k on a store kiosk. Mind fuckin blown Situation. Thanksgiving for watching and cheers 🍻 to the Dreamcast!
Dreamcast is my fav console of all time still. Games i still play often are shenmue, sonic adventure, jet grind radio, star wars jedi power battles and Tokyo xtreme racer 2
Expendable is such a good game and it runs really well and the opening cutscene is hillarious you hear the character scream his head off when they take off and the dreamcast had a lot of flight sim games such as starlancer and bang gunship elite and a ton of resident evil games as well and D2 a severly underratted horror game there are so many awesome games its hard to choose.
I know people say this a lot about their favorite UA-camrs, but 20.5k subs seems way lower than I feel these guys should have. I kinda stopped watching their content (to be fair, I pretty much stopped watching gaming channels), but these guys were always consistent with quality and quantity video-wise. On top of that, they've always been really good at responding to their fans, whether it's a thoughtful response or even just a "like". That shows they pay attention on a deeper level than a lot of the bigger UA-camrs. As I was saying, I pretty much stopped watching these guys, so I'm genuinely surprised to see they don't have at least 50k subs. They deserve it. I remember getting off on the wrong foot with the one guy...I made a comment along the lines of "This is what happens when 2 burned out frat guys, on a drunken night, decide they're gonna make a UA-cam channel. I think I threw in a few requisite dude's and bro's. I was just giving them shit, as I actually enjoyed the 1st couple of videos of theirs that I had watched...but the one guy took exception to what I said, so I had to explain I was only being facetious. After that we became best friends forever. Then I found out he was a fan of the band Cracker, which 100% solidified our best friends status.
It's a bit of a hassle having to put the time/date in every time I power up the Dreamcast. So I don't play often. But when I do, Soul Calibur 1, Mortal Kombat Gold, Dead or Alive 2 and Crazy Taxi.
I was hoping Zombie Revenge would be on here and you did not disappoint. Love the Dreamcast. I still need to get Crazy Taxi 2. It's funny because after all these years I'm still not bored yet with Crazy Taxi 1 and enjoy it so much I honestly forget there even is a part 2 (or 3 on Xbox). My two suggestions to anyone looking for more after everything mentioned here and in the other comments on here would be: 1.) If you love Mario Kart style racing games get Looney Toon Racers. There is a PS2 version but I think the music is completely different in that version and most agree that the Dreamcast soundtrack is superior. And 2.) Maken X. A first person shooter, but with Swords instead of guns, by Atlus (Persona, Shin Megami Tensei, Catherine, Dragon's Crown, Radiant Historia, Trauma Team, among others. THAT Atlus). So it's very stylish and bat poop crazy. Super underrated.
NFL 2K was why I wanted the Dreamcast. Wasn't even from a kiosk; it was walking into Hollywood Video in early 2000 and finding the game and looking at the back of the game case. It was 10 bucks, so I picked it up before even getting the console. I probably had the game for a month or two before I was able to get the Dreamcast and I was not disappointed. What a fun game and what a fun time to be gaming. I didn't learn about the Dreamcast until then and trying to get the console, I didn't learn about the PS2 was coming until I went to Funcoland and the employees told my parents and me about it (9.9.99 didn't mean anything to me then; I never saw the marketing pitches). But they could not persuade me to wait for the PS2 as they said Dreamcast would become obsolete, which it did, but I stuck to my guns. I wasn't really ever excited for the PS2 and I think there is still a stigma I have against that console when Sega eventually called it quits on the hardware. I was gifted a PS2 sometime during late 7th gen or early 8th gen. Some of these games would be really cool to check out. I don't even know if I ever heard of that 1st person shooter (McGavin). Thanks for the list and take care, gentlemen. Cheers 🍻
The first couple of years of Dreamcast were amazing. It felt like fresh exciting new games were coming out every month. My only issue with it was that I hated the controller. It's the only one that gave me handcramp. Of course if I went back to it now I could probably get a retrofighters controller that would fix that
the only system I ever preordrerd and the only one I picked up at a special 5am opening. I drove 25min to the mall at 415am. drove back home and set it up. just to play it for 45min before going to work. i think Ready 2 Rumble was the one i tried 1st. great fun boxing game. also the only console I regret selling.
Yeah it was my first ever with money i earned from a job so it will always be special to me! Ready 2 rumble is obviously a staple of the Dreamcast that is a great pick up and play game! Cheers!
I had the opportunity to grow up with every console since Atari 2600. I have played beyond thousands of games in my lifetime. Dreamcast is one of the most fun consoles ever built. I collect retro games and have as many legally as many would have pirated. Dreamcast was the last console that really interested me. Shenmue 1 & 2 were easily among the greatest experiences I have ever had in gaming. Sonic Adventure is a blast and my favorite Sonic game. Even the more simple Dreamcast games could be amazing. It’s games were all about the fun. Sega consoles are my favorite and to be honest I have more fun with the Dreamcast overall. And that is coming from someone who has played just about every Genesis game and played many hours on my cousins Sega Genesis and on my own collection. I still haven’t had the experience I have wanted with Sega Saturn another console I absolutely love but have missed a few too many titles.
Its definitely one of our all time favorite consoles and who knows with a full console life it could of very well been! Just in a year and a half it was pure amazing and every category of games had multiple bangers that made you say i have to get that game! Cheers!
My game time has been cut down due to circumstances but I’ve always loved the dreamcast. I have a decent setup with arcade sticks and all and a few modded with gdemu ‘s. Before I stopped collecting I was planning on recapping a few but that’s over. Much respect to those who can keep it in moderation. I amassed stuff since collecting from my 80s childhood. I’m downsizing this insanity (can’t play hardly any of it) but keeping all my favorite modded consoles and handhelds. I want to see my walls again.
Loved the Dreamcast, by far Sega’s greatest creation in my opinion, phenomenal console. I’ll chip in with two games that NEVER get talked about. I’m not sure if they’re, ahem, (Metal Jesus voice) “Hidden Gems”, but I enjoyed them: Silver and Sega GT.
Yeah both great games! Also agree it was Segas best console! Cheers!
Nah brah...the Sega Genesis with its extended library of Sega CD and 32X games is, in my correct opinion, one of the best consoles ever made...EVER.

Soul Caliber is a staple of the Dreamcast! We need to try Bangi-O! Cheers!
Great list! Chu Chu Rocket, Tokyo Extreme Racer 1 & 2, Outtrigger, and Sega Bass Fishing & Sega Marine Fishing with the fishing rod controller are some other ones I play frequently.
We never really got into those fishing and hunting games! Be cool to dabble into! Cheers!
@@GamingOffTheGrid If you like SEGA arcade games, you'll probably like them. That's why I love the Dreamcast hardware: it's the system that is most like the arcade.
Great list guys! I play House Of The Dead 2 yearly as well as Zombie Revenge and they never get old. I have never seen Confidential Mission, I will be looking out for that one.
Definitely check it out brotha! You wont be disappointed! Cheers!
Confidential Mission is Virtua Cop for the Dreamcast with the Golden Eye 64 look and it is very very good. Musthave.
Zombie Revenge was an awesome co op dreamcast game as well.
Yes it was! Doesnt get the love it deserves! Cheers!
Nice to see you guys covering the classics. My favs were Zombie revenge, Jedi power battles, 2k football, marvel vs Capcom 2 and Mars Matrix 💚👍🏼💯
Love all those games! 2k football series was very innovated at the time! Lots of people still say 2k5 was the best nfl football game all time! Cheers!
Love these style of videos and would love to see ones on Sega Saturn/CD and the PS1 as well 👍
Dreamcast is my favorite system ever and its cool to see Soldier of fortune get some love as well (god the screams of your enemies still haunt my dreams) and as for other incredible affordable titles I highly recommend Toy Commander, MDK 2, Sports Jam, Max Steel, and Test Drive V rally just to name a few
Keep up the cool videos my boys 😎
Bro I wish we could come through for you on SEGA CD but we got nothing. Hopefully someday
Got this thru a share. Great list. Liked and Subbed. Look forward to more Sega stuff.
Hell ya! Glad you found us. We really appreciate your support. Cheers!
It’s cool that the Sega DC was your first console you purchased Wes. Really enjoying this series. Back then we had a group of friends that were gamers and no one had the Dreamcast, cheers!
Yeah it didnt get the love it deserved! Cheers!
Long live the Dreamcast! Love this series, keep up the dope videos🤘
Thanks brotha! We've been putting out less videos because of this series. It takes so damn much time. With that being said, we've been enjoying things so much more. Playing games is how it all started. Glad you enjoy. Cheers!
I love me some Dreamcast! When it was discontinued I went from GameStop to GameStop buying up stock. I had boxes of consoles, accessories, and games at one point. Just held onto it long enough for it gain value. Games I bought for $5, I sold in a couple years down the road for near full price. Wish I had held onto it longer before selling the stock.
Thats pretty smart! Sounds like you did well! Cheers!
Completely agree with what Wes said about how mind-blowing the 2k sports games were. IMO the leap forward in sports realism on the Dreamcast (from PS1/N64/SS graphics) is bigger than any other leap between console generations.
Dude, I'm so glad you are on the same page. It's definitely a "had to be there in the moment" type of thing. Man, we grew up at the best time. I truly wouldn't change it for anything. Cheers to the memories brotha!
100 percent man. Seeing Sonic Adventure at Toys R Us display in 99 and then seeing NBA 2K at a friends house who had gotten Dreamcast that Christmas lol. 4th grade me didn’t think graphics could get any better.
I still love putting time into Draconus:CotW, Ecco, and Outrigger.
Dreamcast short life: huge impact!
For sure! It sucks it had such a short life with how good it is! Cheers!
Soldier of Fortune, I remember playing that game and I absolutely loved it. I remember a few fan created maps as well. I played it on the PC though, I didn’t realize it was on the Dreamcast too.
Yeah its such a masterpiece! Im sure it was amazing on pc also! Cheers!
Awesome video guys the Dreamcast is fantastic! It was also the first console I bought with my own money.
Funny story about how I got the money for the console: in my last year of high school in 2000 I was part of a job training program for summer school and I got a job at 989 studios as a QA tester on ATV off-road fury for PS2 now this was before the PS2 launched in the US (it was August 2000) and with my first $400 paycheck I went right to the local Funcoland and I bought my own Dreamcast and a couple launch games including NFL 2K and the next work day I brought it into the Sony offices and me and the boys were playing NFL 2K on it and everyone was having a blast. I'll never forget that. If you happen to have a copy of ATV offroad fury for PS2 look me up in the credits in the back under QA! Matt Swain.
Sounds similar to my story! Awesome man! Cheers!
Great picks, dudes. I like to add Red Dog: Superior Firepower and Headhunter as additional honorable mentions. Dreamcast kicks ass!
Great picks man! All great games! Cheers!
Awesome video. Absolutely love this series being a "what we're playing" vs "top 10" because top 10's are ever changing! I just found a HOTD 2 strategy guide for the Dreamcast! Do you have it?
Also please keep this going and do every generation it's so fun to see what you're playing and think about what I'm playing!
We have plans to do list for every console we own so plenty more to come! Cheers!
Have 150 pal games in my collection and still regularly play with my brother. We're 39 and 37 years of age and love reliving it.
We play about 4 times a week
Ready to Rumble
Virtua Tennis
Revolt
Soul Calibur
Marvel vs Capcom 2
Power Stone 1 and 2
Love this console so much!
Thats so awesome! Thats a good size Dreamcast collection! Such an epic console! Cheers!
Dude, buddy and I were playing Zombie's Revenge on DC when it came out and we had a hell of a time beating the game, then one day we realized that you could change the button controls and once we did that the next play through, we dominated it and made it our Be-otch. We laughed so hard that changing the button layout was the secret to beating the game. Cannon Spike is one I would like to add to the collection, but damn it's pricey. The Smash Pack is a great concept and great that you get Virtua Cop 2, but the emulation especailly the sound and Music is so horrible on some of those games.
Sometimes thats all it takes brotha! Some games default button layouts suck LOL! Cheers!
Loving these videos, you guys keep the energy going!!
Thanks! We love making this videos so that helps! Cheers!
Dreamcast was so great. I played NFL 2K for days and days and days man. I'd like to see some PS3 love on the channel!
LOL yeah those NFL 2k games were so fun! PS3 will get its video! Cheers!
Sega should get their butts in gear and get to work on a Sega Dreamcast 2.
That would be cool but i doubt they will ever do that! Cheers!
@@GamingOffTheGrid Cheers to you guys, too! And have a Merry Christmas!
Just found your channel. As a lifelong Sega fan, Subscribed.
Hell ya! Appreciate the support!
I love my Dreamcast and kept it for Confidential Mission, HotD2, Ikaruga and Power Stone.😌👌
It is such a timeless compact all-in-one package.
For sure! One of my all time favorite consoles! Cheers!
Great video guys. I have a Dreamcast and there’s a lot of great games to play. Maybe you guys should do next is the psp because it sold very well I do believe and it probably is one of the most under rated handheld. Great video
We havent decided if we will do handheld episodes yet or not! Cheers!
Great list, I would like to include Outtrigger, Daytonaaaa and Soul Caliber
Those are definitely staples of the Dreamcast! Cheers!
A great series and you finally visited the Dreamcast. Glad VC2 got a mention in the end! Currently I'm playing Gigawing 2 going for a 1All.
giagwing 2 is an amazing game! Cheers!
Great recommendations, I played a lot of these classics, great memories, I don't know why Sega bowed out early with the Dreamcast, it had great graphics and good 3rd party support from Capcom and it had it's Sega exclusives, well it's still a great system, check out Berserk, a 3rd person action hack and slash based on the anime of the same name. Project Justice, a sequel to Rival Schools fighting game from Capcom, and Fighting Vipers 2, the sequel to the arcade original fighting game from Sega. Keep up the good work.
It was financial issues that led to there unfortunately ending! Few games to check out here! Thanks for the recommendations! Cheers!
These are my all time favorites for the DC!
Spawn: In the Demon's Hand
Royale Rumble
Power Stone
Three Great Dreamcast games! Need to fire up Spawn and Rumble! Cheers!
That Dreamcast t-shirt is 🔥
Thanks brotha!
Where can I order your Dreamcast shirt?
Yay for this video!
Dreamcast is such a great console!
Yeah it is! One of the best! Cheers!
I'm always hooked to that Power stone 2, and mvc2.
Two great games! Dont blame you on that! Cheers!
House of the Dead 2......now you're talking 👌
Virtua Tennis 2 on 4 player is ridiculous fun.
Great selection lads 👍👍👍
Yeah we love our Tennis games! LOL! We love our House of the Dead! Cheers!
Didn't grow up with this console but has some awesome games.
The library is so amazing for only being out a year and a half! Cheers!
Another of my personal favorites is Chu Chu Rocket! I will never forget all the fun I had playing it with family and friends. Test Drive Le Mans blew me away back then too for my racing fix.
We will have to check out both games! 🍻
I never minded the four button for player movement configuration. Once the keyboard and mouse came out, of course that all changed. I have 2 DC’s. I even still have a Panther stick/trackball by Madcatz. DC was amazing, even for the short lifespan.
Yeah we arent familar with gaming with keyboard and mouses. We game on home consoles! Ive dabbled very little pc style! DC deserved a longer lifespan! Cheers!
@@GamingOffTheGrid I wasn’t either and was console only until the DC. Had 1 gaming Pc and have since gone back to all my retro consoles. Good stuff guys.
I played the hell out of Expendable back when it came out. Fun game that never gets talked about.
Yeah its a very underrated game like the Dreamcast! Cheers!
best sega system in my opinion...
Totally agree with you on that ! Cheers!
I still play Soul Calibur, Dead or Alive 2, and most of the Capcom Fighting games.
All iconic games for the Dreamcast! 🍻
Daytona USA 2001 is forever. Draconus Cult of the Worm is a sleeper hit too. Starts off kinda meh but gets really good as you progress further. Your character goes through "changes" -- I'll leave it there.
Sounds like two games we need to try out! Cheers!
Bought a Dreamcast for 2 games back in the day, Fire Pro Wrestling D & Giant Gram. Still play both to this day.
We have played Fire Pro Wrestling! We are awful at it lol! Giant Gram is a game we should check out! Cheers!
I can see you two playing Space Channel 5. definitely a game you play standing up while imitating the moves as best you can🤭
Oddly enough picked up a sealed copy at the thrift a few weeks back :).
@@GamingOffTheGrid woah. Sealed, that's a find. Not sure if its expensive, but 23ish year old games that are sealed are a diamond in the sludge. ✌🤘
No it was a relatively good price! And yeah sealed games in the wild are rare! Cheers!
Dreamcast was the best 18 months of gaming ever
Definitely one of my favorites! My nostalgia runs deep! Cheers!
Thank you for another banger! Never had Dreamcast but I remember when I first saw one of my older brothers with one and instantly thought....wtf is dis?!!?!😅🍻🍺
Seems like alot of people thought the way it sold! lol! Cheers!
Nice List! Rush 2049 is my most replayed. The battle mode is too good.
Yeah i remember that game when i was younger! Was so much fun! Cheers!
The Dreamcast was one console I wanted instantly after seeing my Cousins 👌👌
It was a game changer for sure! I’ll never forget seeing NBA 2k on a store kiosk. Mind fuckin blown Situation. Thanksgiving for watching and cheers 🍻 to the Dreamcast!
Dynamite Cop,great game.Also it's a trilogy of sorts-Die Hard Arcade /Dynamite Cop/Deka, and Asian Dynamite on Naomi
Yes sir! We love all those! Cheers!
i actuallly never played a dreamcast before this video was awesome I was surprised this video came out today to last night man
LOL yeah you never know what our internet wi do! Cheers Action Jaxon!
best dreamcast game: quake 3 arena
Have not dabbled in this game! Will have to give it a try! Cheers!
My list is Power Stone, Unreal Tournament, Quake, Sonic Adventure 1,2, Surf Rocket Racer, Looney Tunes Soace Race, Zero Gunner 2 and more
Some bangers in that list for sure! Cheers!
Dreamcast is my fav console of all time still. Games i still play often are shenmue, sonic adventure, jet grind radio, star wars jedi power battles and Tokyo xtreme racer 2
Great list! Dreamcast was definitely a powerhouse and very underrated! Cheers!
I just saw there is a Miller High life ice cream bar coming out. This is a must review for GOTG. Let’s make it happen.
LOL for real!? We will havd to look into this! Thanks for the info! Cheers!
Expendable is such a good game and it runs really well and the opening cutscene is hillarious you hear the character scream his head off when they take off and the dreamcast had a lot of flight sim games such as starlancer and bang gunship elite and a ton of resident evil games as well and D2 a severly underratted horror game there are so many awesome games its hard to choose.
There is so many awesome games! Dreamcast has an amazing library! Cheers!
Fight to win the girl? Good luck with that in 2022 😂
LOL! Never hurts to try! Cheers!
I know people say this a lot about their favorite UA-camrs, but 20.5k subs seems way lower than I feel these guys should have. I kinda stopped watching their content (to be fair, I pretty much stopped watching gaming channels), but these guys were always consistent with quality and quantity video-wise. On top of that, they've always been really good at responding to their fans, whether it's a thoughtful response or even just a "like". That shows they pay attention on a deeper level than a lot of the bigger UA-camrs.
As I was saying, I pretty much stopped watching these guys, so I'm genuinely surprised to see they don't have at least 50k subs. They deserve it. I remember getting off on the wrong foot with the one guy...I made a comment along the lines of "This is what happens when 2 burned out frat guys, on a drunken night, decide they're gonna make a UA-cam channel. I think I threw in a few requisite dude's and bro's. I was just giving them shit, as I actually enjoyed the 1st couple of videos of theirs that I had watched...but the one guy took exception to what I said, so I had to explain I was only being facetious. After that we became best friends forever. Then I found out he was a fan of the band Cracker, which 100% solidified our best friends status.
Thanks for all the kind words! We just keep plugging away! Cheers!
I remember getting my Dreamcast for Christmas my mom had gave me a game to open before the console😂😂😂
Which game?
Those were some of the best memories! Christmas Day consoles! Cheers!
Love me some Dreamcast all day everyday
We love it also! Cheers!
What you guys just did... is make the *List of Games for a Dreamcast Mini !*
T H A N K - Y O U 😃
Oh my gosh I hope Sega does a mini
That would be so awesome! Cheers!
There is a Genesis mini!
It's a bit of a hassle having to put the time/date in every time I power up the Dreamcast. So I don't play often. But when I do, Soul Calibur 1, Mortal Kombat Gold, Dead or Alive 2 and Crazy Taxi.
Yeah i hate that also! Great list of games! Cheers!
Can’t you just put in a new battery?
@@DubsBrown Need to solder in a replacement battery holder, the stock battery is non-serviceable. Good news is that it isn't a complicated job.
I was hoping Zombie Revenge would be on here and you did not disappoint. Love the Dreamcast. I still need to get Crazy Taxi 2. It's funny because after all these years I'm still not bored yet with Crazy Taxi 1 and enjoy it so much I honestly forget there even is a part 2 (or 3 on Xbox). My two suggestions to anyone looking for more after everything mentioned here and in the other comments on here would be: 1.) If you love Mario Kart style racing games get Looney Toon Racers. There is a PS2 version but I think the music is completely different in that version and most agree that the Dreamcast soundtrack is superior. And 2.) Maken X. A first person shooter, but with Swords instead of guns, by Atlus (Persona, Shin Megami Tensei, Catherine, Dragon's Crown, Radiant Historia, Trauma Team, among others. THAT Atlus). So it's very stylish and bat poop crazy. Super underrated.
Will have to check out both those games! Thanks for the recommendations! Cheers!
I still over the old virtua tennis on dreamcast. This is a great list and I love and own them all.
Dreamcast is full of bangers! Thats awesome you own them all! Cheers!
Love Daytona 2001 on my Dreamcast,
Yeah i remember struggling at that game! Didnt use the breaks enough lol! Cheers!
NFL 2K was why I wanted the Dreamcast. Wasn't even from a kiosk; it was walking into Hollywood Video in early 2000 and finding the game and looking at the back of the game case. It was 10 bucks, so I picked it up before even getting the console.
I probably had the game for a month or two before I was able to get the Dreamcast and I was not disappointed. What a fun game and what a fun time to be gaming.
I didn't learn about the Dreamcast until then and trying to get the console, I didn't learn about the PS2 was coming until I went to Funcoland and the employees told my parents and me about it (9.9.99 didn't mean anything to me then; I never saw the marketing pitches). But they could not persuade me to wait for the PS2 as they said Dreamcast would become obsolete, which it did, but I stuck to my guns.
I wasn't really ever excited for the PS2 and I think there is still a stigma I have against that console when Sega eventually called it quits on the hardware. I was gifted a PS2 sometime during late 7th gen or early 8th gen.
Some of these games would be really cool to check out. I don't even know if I ever heard of that 1st person shooter (McGavin).
Thanks for the list and take care, gentlemen. Cheers 🍻
Yeah great story man! Yeah it sucks it became obsolete! Was such a great console! Cheers!
Use to play soldier of fortune 2 Multiplayer in high school lol but never played the first.
You would really enjoy the original! Cheers!
The first couple of years of Dreamcast were amazing. It felt like fresh exciting new games were coming out every month. My only issue with it was that I hated the controller. It's the only one that gave me handcramp. Of course if I went back to it now I could probably get a retrofighters controller that would fix that
We love the controller! Everyone likes different controllers! Cheers!
the only system I ever preordrerd and the only one I picked up at a special 5am opening.
I drove 25min to the mall at 415am. drove back home and set it up. just to play it for 45min
before going to work. i think Ready 2 Rumble was the one i tried 1st. great fun boxing game.
also the only console I regret selling.
Yeah it was my first ever with money i earned from a job so it will always be special to me! Ready 2 rumble is obviously a staple of the Dreamcast that is a great pick up and play game! Cheers!
I had the opportunity to grow up with every console since Atari 2600. I have played beyond thousands of games in my lifetime. Dreamcast is one of the most fun consoles ever built. I collect retro games and have as many legally as many would have pirated. Dreamcast was the last console that really interested me. Shenmue 1 & 2 were easily among the greatest experiences I have ever had in gaming. Sonic Adventure is a blast and my favorite Sonic game.
Even the more simple Dreamcast games could be amazing. It’s games were all about the fun. Sega consoles are my favorite and to be honest I have more fun with the Dreamcast overall. And that is coming from someone who has played just about every Genesis game and played many hours on my cousins Sega Genesis and on my own collection. I still haven’t had the experience I have wanted with Sega Saturn another console I absolutely love but have missed a few too many titles.
Its definitely one of our all time favorite consoles and who knows with a full console life it could of very well been! Just in a year and a half it was pure amazing and every category of games had multiple bangers that made you say i have to get that game! Cheers!
My game time has been cut down due to circumstances but I’ve always loved the dreamcast. I have a decent setup with arcade sticks and all and a few modded with gdemu ‘s. Before I stopped collecting I was planning on recapping a few but that’s over. Much respect to those who can keep it in moderation.
I amassed stuff since collecting from my 80s childhood. I’m downsizing this insanity (can’t play hardly any of it) but keeping all my favorite modded consoles and handhelds. I want to see my walls again.
Totally understandable! Everyone has to do it the way that makes them happy! Cheers!
good list of games. bangai-o is one of my favorite DC games. this system is a gem for shootemups
The greats shumps on the DC is like a never ending list! So many to pick from! Cheers!
Great series guys. 7th Gen next please! Ps3-xbox 360- wii/wii U?
We are still deciding whats next! That gen will definitely get its episodes! Cheers!
