Dreamcast Fan Mod I kind of wish I got a resistor with more ohms though, because I can’t quite slow it down as much as I want to. It’s quite noisy even on the slowest, but it sure doesn’t let the Dreamcast even get warm at all, anywhere, after any amount of time. A great […]
Radiligy is one of the two new Naomi-to-Dreamcast shooter ports to come out in 2006 and it will offer shmup fans a slightly different shooting experience for their Dreamcast. Radiligy does borrow many elements from its sibling, Chaos Field, but does have some unique features and a fresh graphical style. Overall, it does not seem […]
The Sega Dreamcast obviously was not a strong commerical success. However, that was not because of a lack of quality games. Sega excelled at having games that were unique, addictive, and just plain fun. (Watch G4’s Coverage of Dreamcast history) The Dreamcast also had some strong support from a number of big publishers such as […]
The Sega Saturn was a phenomenal platform for 2D fighters, but many gamers would not have expected that the Dreamcast would follow in the Saturn’s footsteps so well. The Dreamcast was strongly supported by both Capcom and SNK. It received many of the best fighting games before the PS2, XBox, and Gamecube. There are also […]
As one of G4/Tech TV’s only good shows, Icons does an excellent job of looking back at many of the great people, consoles, and game series that made an impact on the gaming community. I just got done watching the episode of Icons that looks back at the history of the Sega Dreamcast. I thought […]
You would think that it would be hard for the Dreamcast to follow in the 2D footsteps of its sibling, the Sega Saturn and its massive collection of 2D shoot-em-ups. However, the Dreamcast is the perfect complement to the Saturn and is a essentially a requirement in and shmup fanatic’s collection. While it only started […]
They said it could never be done. The Neo Geo was too intense of a console and most Neo Geo ROMs were just too big for the Sega Dreamcast to handle. Just a year or two ago, skeptics insisted that because of these reasons, it wasn’t even worth the time to think about making a […]
This is a continuation of my series on console games that made the best use of each console’s limited system resources. If you think I missed any games, please feel free to leave a suggestion with an explanation in the comments section. I will be revising this guide as I learn more. Please wait until […]
If you’ve ever played Marvel vs Capcom 2 on the Dreamcast, you can’t deny that the music is lowsy. It’s incredibly slow and borning and does not fit the game at all. (Read PlanetDreamcast’s review of MvC2 for good commentary) Because of this, there has been a number of people who have created their own […]
Before there was Halo, there was Marathon. Bungie Software‘s first successful FPS series, Marathon is availible for a free download and is playable on the Sega Dreamcast. The downloadable game image contains Marathon and it’s two sequels Marathon 2: Durandal, and Marathon: Infinity. Bungie Software released the source code of the Mac OS version of […]
Jet Grind Radio (known as Jet Set Radio outside of North America) is one of my favorite games of all time, but as I realized my Dreamcast has been getting neglected as of late, I thought I would pull out this unique title and give it another whirl. Since I haven’t played the game in […]
As we all know, Sega gave up fairly early on its last two consoles. In the case of both the Dreamcast and the Saturn, many of the great games came at the end of their life and many didn’t make it to the US. Here’s a rundown on ones that we missed out here in […]
If you’re looking to play imports on your Dreamcast (see the DC’s best import games), you have a few options. If you want a flawless importing experience and are willing to tinker with your Dreamcast’s guts, a modchip may be your best option. I have not installed a Dreamcast modchip myself, but it is supposedly […]
The original Power Stone was one of the most exciting launch titles on the Dreamcast. It built on many of the arena fighting concepts established by Poy Poy on the Playstation. Power Stone was also Capcom’s first successful attempt at bringing their quirky by killer style of fighting to the third dimension. Power Stone 2 […]
I love my Sega Saturn and Dreamcast. That fact is easy to pick if you visit my site often. However, I don’t play the systems as much as I should. What keeps me away from these great systems? I am addicted to wireless controllers. I have a Nintendo Gamecube and have fallen in love with […]
