Dreamcast Keyboard and Mouse games?
I'll be getting a keyboard and mouse for my Dreamcast soon, but I'd like to know some of the best games that support it. I'm aware of Typing of the Dead and Maken X, but is there anything else that's good? I've heard great things about Unreal Tournament, but does that have a single player?
Re: Dreamcast Keyboard and Mouse games?
I don't know about the DC version, but on the PC UT's single player was just playing against bots. I believe Phantasy Star Online let you use the keyboard for chat.

Don't forget Quake 3 arena. Confidential mission supports the mouse as well as Outtrigger.

I'll second Quake 3 Arena. I love getting in on an organized match online when everyone has a BBA with KB+Mouse.

Re: Dreamcast Keyboard and Mouse games?
As proud owner of two Keyboards and I think a mouse but no Dreamcast, I want to ask. Quake III arena has splitscreen, doesn't it?
I also wonder, is there a way to connect several Dreamcast together to play in LAN?

I don't think there's true lan, but you could connect both Dreamcasts to the same router... Which would require the prohibitively expensive broadband adapters.General_Norris wrote:As proud owner of two Keyboards and I think a mouse but no Dreamcast, I want to ask.

Re: Dreamcast Keyboard and Mouse games?
Well typing of the dead is pretty much essential if you have a keyboard for the dreamcast. But it doesn't use the mouse.
Re: Dreamcast Keyboard and Mouse games?
The Ferrari game (forget it's real name) is the one and only game that does, I believe.General_Norris wrote:As proud owner of two Keyboards and I think a mouse but no Dreamcast, I want to ask. Quake III arena has splitscreen, doesn't it?

Also, Maken X supports Keyboard and Mouse? Never knew that! Must try it.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Maken X supports Keyboard + Mouse. At least that's what I've heard.

Re: Dreamcast Keyboard and Mouse games?
I remember Maken X not working with the Keyboard and Mouse. My roommates and I tried it "back in the day" and I remember us being disappointed that it didn't work.
I think Soldier of Fortune supports the KB&M, but you have to boot the game with them plugged in. Otherwise you have to start over and wait through the 10 min load times all over again.
