Chojin I had a friend who would stay over at my house all the time since I had a few good computers and a broadband connection when they were new, and he'd spend every day monopolizing my internet connection to pirate DC games. And through all of the games he downloaded, the only ones I liked were Crazy Taxi, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, NFL 2k1, and MVC2.

It seemed like every single DC game had camera issues, some more crippling than others. The controller was also made of tempered glass and would shred your hands to pieces if you played anything too long, ESPECIALLY games that required use of the d-pad.

I'd make fun of the system every day and he'd be all like YOU'LL SEE. ALL OF YOU NAYSAYERS WILL SEE.

And then all the piracy killed the system. For those of you who didn't know.

Fathom Zero I found a prefect $20 copy in a store once, but passed it up.

Codiekitty Ooh, jeez, I forgot Mars Matrix normally runs $30 or more.

But MDK2 and Elemental Gimmick Gear are normally less than $10 (I got my MDK2 for $7 way back when Gamestop was dumping their Dreamcast stuff, not like that helps you though), and there's somebody on eBay right now selling both of them, and a few other games like Grandia 2 and Shenmue: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZmember974051

Emu I got ChuChu Rocket

No sign of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, though. :[ I don't wanna eBay it because it seems like every copy of any DC game they sell either doesn't have the manual or the packaging or is exorbitantly expensive.

Kingofeurope You want it? It's yours my friend, as long as you have enough rupees.

Fathom Zero I AGREE WITH CHOJIN 100%.
Jan 21st, 2008 04:48 PM
Chojin jojo's bizarre adventure is probably the best game on DC :<

It is hella fun. Better when you actually know how to do the moves though, haha.

executioneer yeah omikron the nomad soul

i think i had just gotten to the part where d. bowie first shows up and then i got frustrated and i haven't picked it back up since maybe i should give it another shot if the cds still work

Pub Lover I had huge issues with the fighting system on the PC version of Omikron (I think it was only called Nomad Soul in the UK, but if it's the one with David Bowie then it is the one I'm thinking of).
Jan 14th, 2008 06:05 PM
executioneer i kind of hated omikron on pc the story was great but the gameplay was godawful (maybe it is better on dc, idk)
Jan 14th, 2008 02:58 PM
Guitar Woman Oh fuck, seconding Omikron.

Although the PC version would be way less of a hassle to get.
Jan 14th, 2008 01:39 PM
Zbu Manowar Gunbird 2 and Cannon Spike. Two Capcom shooters. If you can get them for free, I highly recommend.
Jan 14th, 2008 11:25 AM
Codiekitty Here's a couple I own but haven't played, but look like they might be interesting:

Bangai-O - It's either an action game or a shooter from Treasure.

Omikron: The Nomad Soul - An adventure game that stars David Bowie.
Jan 14th, 2008 10:24 AM
Pentegarn Skies of Arcadia
Record of Lodoss War
Phantasy Star Online episodes 1 + 2 (they can be played offline and aren't too shabby)
Marvel vs. Capcom 2
Soul Calibur
Grandia 1 + 2
Crazy Taxi
Jan 14th, 2008 10:24 AM
Zbu Manowar All this talk about great DC games and nobody mentions the superior Project Justice (Rival Schools 2)?? What the hell?? This is easily one of the best 3D games EVER. Also, Street Fighter Alpha 3 for the DC was kickass in so many ways.

But I agree: you're probably going to have to download most of them off of newsgroups or something and it's worth it (since there's no copy protection at all). But the DC is a fine system that'll bring you tons of entertainment.

I think you mean Blue Stinger.

Anyway, I recommend:

MDK2 - Not an acryonym, that's actually the name of the game. It controls like an FPS, which takes some getting used to, but once you do you'll find one of the best 3D action games out there. If you aren't turned away by the difficulty, that is. Oh, and stay away from that bastardized PS2 port.

Elemental Gimmick Gear - A solid adventure game with gorgeous graphics.

Chuchu Rocket - Critter saving puzzler!

And while I haven't finished it yet, there's Mars Matrix. It's a bullet hell shooter from the folks behind the Giga Wing games where you can absorb just about any shot and hurl them back at your enemies. Hard as hell though, I haven't reached the fourth boss. I really liked what I played, though.

Spetsnaz Get Echo The Dolphin!

I dont there there was ever a more pointless game made thats fun.
Jan 12th, 2008 03:03 AM
Chojin I remember that every Dreamcast game had camera problems.

Especially the Spawn game, which was otherwise kinda fun ;<
Jan 9th, 2008 07:07 PM
mew barios http://nesterdc.emulation64.com/ is the nes emulator i use for dc, never had a problem. i was really into this stuff a while ago, most other types of emus aren't worth messing with

Yes, that game is one of the reasons i want a DC. Just to tear some shit up as the black swordsman.

Also look into getting some of those shooters that came out when the system died out. Ikaruga is good.

And if you like wrestling games, and dont mind japanese text, the best Wrestling game on the system is undoubtedly Fire Pro Wrestling D. The first game in the series to introduce weapons and lightbulb/Barbedwire matches. :D

Dont forget Capcom VS SNK 2: Mark of the Millenium 2001

edit: For the NES rom thing, you just need to make a self booting DC disc (or use a boot disc) and burn a CD with all of the games you want with the DC emulator on it. I dont really know how its done, but its something like that.
Jan 9th, 2008 05:33 PM
Emu I got one today :hat

I heard that people used to put NES ROMs on these things. How'd they do that?
