100 Dreamcast Games In 10 Minutes
Much has been said about how the Dreamcast was a wholly underrated system. Here are 100 games, many of which really show off just how underrated it was. (And a couple that are probably best forgotten...)
What was surprising was to find a game based on Japanese horror movie "The Ring" (#85 in the video). It's a mediocre survival horror game, but one wonders if its profile would have been higher if it was released after the 2002 American remake of the movie.
Also of note is Shenmue. We take "open world" games for granted now - but to see it being done back on the Dreamcast back in 2001 - on not-so-powerful hardware is pretty darn impressive
What's interesting is that many of these games are quite playable and compelling. Having revisited some other "classic" systems for videos on this page, I can say that most of them held nothing but historical interest. Here, though - I actually enjoyed firing up and playing through some of these for the video. Probably why it took me so long to put this together.
Any of your favorites I missed out?

I've done a few Dreamcast compilations myself. Not to your standard though one of mine has 10 games the other 5. Watching your video I found about Cannon Spike, one game I now own.. If you get time Gary let me know what you think of mine.

+Ghoulflier Thanks! When making this video, I myself made a few discoveries of games I hadn't known about - or forgotten about. I think the DC really is a gem of a console - and when I had one back in the late 90s, I don't think I appreciated it as much then as I do now! Great stuff
Keep uploading videos so I liked it helped me a lot at last I can play the game so much I was looking ...... thanks
Zombie revenge was the most powerfull game for me back in time, i was absolutly amazed by the 3D envirement, and the story and the gameplay, especialy the bosses.

The Ring Terror's Realm is not the best game I ever played, but I actually like that mix between Resident Evil and Silent Hill. I'm also a big fan of horror, and Dreamcast has some interesting games
I love how many of these show completely uneventful portions of the game.

I still have mine but haven't played in a long time. Looking back at this made me think that this was the first console that still echoes in the consoles of today. The console games of today haven't changed since then. Only for graphics but not even that much because they still look great.
I used to LOVE Shenmue as a kid! 😍😩🙌 Ahhh, the good ol' days! 💯
Geee !!! What's impressive is that, though most of the games are looking a bit old (could've been worst indeed) , quite some of them did aged very well ! Nice job the Dream Cast and studio dev ! :-)
If you like "Crazy Taxi," check this video out and show some support!: kzread.info/dash/bejne/d5akxKd9oqrKc9o.html
much better than the playstation. dream cast was ahead of its time
Beo I just got a Dreamcast a few weeks ago on a whim, and I LOVE IT!! Most of the games I've played so far have been really fun and I wish games like them would come back
Holy cow, I thought C. Taxi with audio would have had people putaide tour house taking your internet away. Nice sneak. Also my first 15 gamea would have been straight fighting, then probably another 10 shmups, some awesome fishing games... I miss Sega ____ Fishing so much.
Rush 2040 was criminally underrated.
