I would like to have seen Megaman on Dreamcast. Of all the consoles of that generation, the Dreamcast would have been the most perfect for a Legends 3 or more 2D Megaman X games.

Dreamcast games...what if

What if Half Life came out. The guide book did, officially the game did not

Yea, and what if the game didnt take 30 seconds to load for every 20 steps you took.

The controls are actually not too bad in this game, work much better than I thought, just takes you awhile to get use to.

It might have been cool with the keyboard and mouse. But I can't imagine trying to play that game with only one analog stick on the DC controller. The control setup probably would have been similar to Outtrigger. What a nightmare!

The controls for Half-Life on DC were actually pretty damn good, if the leaked version is anything to go by. You aimed with the analog stick and used A/B/X/Y to move. It was pretty slick.

If we're going to be talking about 'What if?' games, though, this is what I want.

Just like DC Quake, controls are forgivable considering the layout. "Otis loves Dreamcast"!

I hate that long load, happened a few times, "Damn I meant to go that way!"
Now have to backtrack and sit through 2 load screens.

Very hard to say if Halo itself will be able to save the SEGA Dreamcast, as its original intended release would be in mid-2001.

Recently I did read an article on under-appreciated games, the and Sierra's Tribes was consider the pioneer in on-line FPS, just about 1 whole year before Halo.

But who knows if MS didn't bought out Bungie studios, and Bungie first release Halo on PC first, then consoles later?

tribes was an awesome game, we would play that for hours online, on ps2

this thread makes me want some cheat codes for life so i can see the alternate ending for the Dreamcast.

Panzer Dragoon stomps Final Fantasy into the ground, Sonic punts Mario into a pool of battery acid, and Sambi De Amigo makes guitar hero look like special ed games.


Thats how i picture it, anyway.

I dont think Halo alone could have done this, though. If it was an exclusive and the Dreamcast was right at peak sales, I could see halo dragging the DC across the finish line, but i think its life still would have been much shorter than the average console at the time, and ps and xbox would still have the upper edge.
