There aren't many, but there are some decent exclusives left. Maken X, Elemental Gimmick Gear, Ecco and Confidential Mission (if you have a lightgun) are alright.

While not exclusive the following are best on DC:
Wetrix (performance, resolution, shading of N64/PC)
Rayman 2 (60fps and graphical improvements not included on the PS2 or PC)
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver (60fps, graphical improvements not included on PC)
House of the Dead 2 (proper lightgun support)
Powerstone 1/2 (couch multiplayer)
Chu Chu Rocket (couch multiplayer)

Just avoid Blue Stinger and Illbleed. Terrible fucking hipster games.

I don't even know which gen we're at anymore.

I mean for instance, the Dreamcast does have 5th gen-ish titles, but somewhat 6 gen hardware. But then it's almost as if the Xbox was a spiritual successor of the Dreamcast, and of course has better hardware. But the Saturn also exists in 5th gen.

I don;t think Crazy Taxi 2 was ported to anything and is a Dreamcast exclusive (not based on an arcade game). It's great if you liked Crazy Taxi 1. There are two New York city based levels and some gameplay additions over the original like multiple passengers.

This port still has a few issues. But it is not as bad as people say it is. Still, I wish Virtua Fighter 3 could get a new arcade port. One of my favorite 3D fighters of all time.

All of these games are either exclusive to the Dreamcast or best played on the Dreamcast (due to being a superior port or easy access to a superior control method). I'm including arcade ports because I'm assuming most people don't have access to them.

IIRC, CT3 only includes 1 of the 2 maps from CT1 & 2, so you're not getting the full experience, more of a "best of", but I guess with the CT1 city in 3, you can do the crazy hop. Still, it's recommended you play the original (full) versions of 1 & 2 on DC.

As far as graphics go, I always felt like the textures on DC/PS2 multiplatform games were superior on the Dreamcast due to it having twice as much VRAM. I liked the clarity and the detail of DC graphics more as a result of the VRAM and the VGA port, whereas PS2's strength was that it could render such a large number of polygons.

Zombie Revenge is a fun 2-player brawler (beat 'em up, or whatever). It's kind of like Streets of Rage with guns, but set in the House of the Dead world. These types of beat 'em ups were hard to come by during console generations 5 and 6.

Dynamite Cop is also another 3D arcade style beat 'em up for the Dreamcast that was never released on any other home consoles. It is the sequel to Die Hard Arcade/ Dynamite Deku. It's alright, but I prefer Zombie Revenge more.

I don't know, man. It was a prototype, but I don't think it would have made justice to the MD trilogy.

Anyway, as far as the issue with exclusives and remasters, I think is great to have Dreamcast games remastered in new consoles, but at the same time, those were not games made for modern displays and resolutions, and the blurry textures and graphics flaws really become too noticable in these new ports. Jet Set Radio remaster was allright because of the cellshading, yet the textures were awful in high resolutions.

Probably, the best way to play the games is still the original console with a good CRT, or maybe good emulation with CRT shaders.

NiGHTS is a Sega Saturn game. You can actually get that on Steam, and it is a very good port.

Ecco was ported to the Playstation 2. The PS2 port has some nicer looking under water effects thanks to the hardwares shaders. But the Dreamcast version has cleaner looking textures and looks less muddy. I honestly prefer Ecco on the Dreamcast.

Dreamcast is the starting point of Gen 6. The Sega Saturn is Sega's 5th generation console. It's no different from how the PCEngine is classified as a 4th generation console, despite it being released in 1987 in Japan and being partially 8-bit.

I generally count the SuperGrafx as being part of the same generation as the PCE. The SuperGrafx is a hardware update on the PCEngine. It still uses the same 8-bit CPU and main graphics core, but it also adds an additional graphics core, more memory and audio upgrades. It's like a GameBoy Colour, PS4 Pro, or whatever.

Fuck, didn't know Ecco was also on the PS2.

Guess there's literally 0 DC games I'm still interested in then. Everything good has been ported to better systems. And PCSX2 is way a better emulator than nullDC/Demul/whatever incomplete mess is there for the DC.

>Not surprising. After throwing in the towel in the console wars, Sega pretty much plundered their DC library clean. No reason to keep those games exclusive if the system is dead.

The Dreamcast just didn't live long enough to warrant keeping most games exclusive. Many of the game Sega were developing for the Dreamcast ended up on other consoles. Panzer Dragoon Orta was meant for the Dreamcast, was moved to the Xbox. Super Monkey Ball was meant for the Dreamcast as well, but moved to the GameCube. ToeJam and Earl 3 was also another planned Dreamcast game that was moved to the Xbox. There were a lot of games like that.

But I do feel like the Dreamcast has a lot of definitive versions of games that still make them worth owning. Like for example, Dead or Alive 2 on the Dreamcast, which looks so much more cleaner and vibrant than its PS2 counterpart:

There were other versions of Daytona USA on other consoles, but this one is an enhanced port of the original Arcade game. It has lots of tracks and cars that you will not find in other versions of the game. It is a really good version of the arcade game, you just have to tweak the controls a little bit:

But if you play the game with a racing wheel, the controls are pretty spot on.

Basically all of the games Sega released on console prior to Sonic Heroes were Dreamcast games at one point. I think Heroes was their first big multi-plat and one of their first major releases for PS2 as well.
I found it interesting how Sega decided to make certain games Xbox or GameCube exclusive based on the target audience instead of just multi-platting everything.

Yup. MvC was released on PS3 and 360. Not sure if it has network play though. 2nd Impact was Dreamcast exclusive up until a couple months ago when it was included in the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection. It doesn't have network play though, only Third Strike does.

>DC was a amazing for fighting games. I guess most or all have superior arcade releases but it's pretty good.

Street Fighter III: New Generation and Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact were Dreamcast exclusives for the longest time. But earlier this year Capcom did release the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection which included those two games on Switch, PS4, XBONE and PC. But the Dreamcast ports are still worth owning. As they are ports and not just emulations of the arcade ROM's. Third Strike was ported everywhere, though.

>>4943675
>Plasma Sword. This is a port of an arcade game that ran on PS1 based arcade hardware.

Plasma Sword/ Star Gladiator 2 is another arcade port that is better on the Dreamcast than the arcade original. The Dreamcast is much better hardware than the PS1 based arcade board that the original game ran on.

>Main thing the DC has going for it is burning games is easy vs PS2 where the hacks are a little more involved. Really fun and fast paced fighter.

Burning ROM's for the Dreamcast is easy. But it is actually a nightmare to rip a Dreamcast GDROM and turn it into a working iso for emulation. There are a very small number of disc drives that can read the GDROM format.

You can do this, but the data is still unreadable and needs to be sorted through manually before it can be turned into a readable ROM. Very few people know how to do this task, so there really aren't many unique ISO's available.

>Time Stalkers didn't get the greatest of reviews.

Time Stalkers isn't as good as Land Stalker or Dark Stalker, IMO. But it isn't that bad either. The game does have really uninspired bosses, as the dungeons are randomly generated every time you enter them. The gameplay is weird too as you can only level up in dungeons and reset back to level 1 every time you leave a dungeon. It's different for sure.

But I do like the monster capture mechanics of the game. You can capture enemies and make them allies in your party. You can rename them and such. The game is also fairly short as well.

As for randomly generated dungeon RPG's, there is also Evolution 1 and 2. Which are exclusive to the console. Neither of these games will blow any one away, but they are alright RPG's. The second game is better.

IMO, Giant Gram 2000 is secretly one of the best 3D wrestling games from generation 5 and 6. The game was co-developed by Sega AM1 and a third party group. It is mostly made up of Japanese wrestlers with a few Western ones as gusts. Plus it also has a few Virtua Fighter characters in it.

Every time I have a gaming party people play the fuck out of Toy Commander. There's just something about simple head to head win or loose competition that's timeless. Personally I like shit like Berserk while other faggots like shit like Illbleed. Nether of which is good by any objective standard but people like them. There's only a few dozen exclusives left. If you're too lazy to try them all I'm sure there's always youtube.

For what it is worth, the Dreamcast had a lot of original software made for it in such a short period of time. I am even including the NAOMI arcade games, as NAOMI is just the Dreamcast hardware with more memory. But the vast majority of it was plundered by Sega and ported to other systems. A lot of the original games that were made for the Dreamcast are still worth playing on the original console they were made for, and there are many times when I prefer the Dreamcast versions over some of the other ports.

Sadly not to many exclusives left. But the library is still fantastic.

Sega Rally 2 was ported to Windows 95 PC and it was based on the Dreamcast version. The original Dreamcast port does have some framerate issues and the PC version does run better. But there is a weird cheat code in the Dremacast game that lets you play it at 60fps, but the game removes some background details to do it.

The thing with Dreamcast is that we can talk about all those ports and different consoles, but Dreamcast had all those amazing games in its lineup, so you only needed one console to enjoy them all.

Also, It doesn't matter some of the ports have higher resolution, because we're talking about a 1998 console, so a lot of those games doesn't look too good in higher resolution displays.

The Dreamcast was the first console to support 480 progressive scan through VGA, and many games supported this feature. Dreamcast games looked great at 480p and there are a lot of 3D titles that hold up at higher resolutions.

But I agree that the Dreamcast had a lot of great arcade style games all under one console.

If you count the Japanese library, the Saturn has more exclusives than the Dremacast overall.

There's some other things worth considering about the Dreamcast vs other ports (even PC). The Dreamcast's GPU produces the best looking 16-bit color framebuffers of any GPU ever created (seriously, it's a fact) so any ports limited to 16-bit color are going to look way less vibrant and more dithered than they will on Dreamcast. Secondly, Dreamcast games can look a bit more "solid" than some ports, because its GPU used a 32-bit z-buffer, while other platforms at the time used 16-bit or 24-bit z-buffer.

In a lot of ports, lighting effects and audio quality tended to get gimped. Not always though, but there were times.
