Dreaming of the Dreamcast: 10 Dreamcast games I want to see make the gen jump.

by on

I love the Dreamcast. In fact, as consoles go the Dreamcast will always have a very special place in my heart, not as my first console, because it wasn’t, but rather as the console that irreversibly changed how I thought about games. It was on this system that I first experienced the MMO environment with a little game called Phantasy Star Online. Suddenly games became this amazingly social experience where my friends and I could gather, make incredibly obscene ascii art, and just generally have a blast.

It is with this in mind that you can understand the unbridled excitement with which I read the news that Sega had finally decided to grant my wish and would begin to bring Dreamcast games to current generation platforms. The announcement came along with two titles: Sonic Adventures and Crazy Taxi. Now these are two great games that are a perfectly logical starting point for Sega. But as a Dreamcast fanboy, it is hard to not immediately begin construction of your own list of games you want to see ported. So without further stalling for time, I present to you my dreamy dreamcast port list.

Skies of Arcadia

ChuChu Rocket!

Power Stone

San Francisco Rush 2049

Phantasy Star Online

Yes, I know there are new versions, but they all suck.

Spawn: In The Demon’s Hand

Yes, yes, I know it wasn't very good, but I have many fond memories of its arcade counter part.

    JGR, Skies of Arcadia, and Power Stone would indeed be nice. I'd like to round things out with Bangai-O, Cannon Spike, Dynamite Cop, Grandia II, MDK2, Rayman 2, and Virtual On.

    Good choices! I hope they put the whole damn library up to be honest.

    Jet Grind Radio, PSO, Chuchu Rocket, and Power Stone for sure!
