Sega Dreamcast Cult Classics

eurogamer.net — Over the years we've trawled the sobbing depths of the GameCube, Xbox and PS2's back catalogue to prise a seemingly unending procession of hidden gems from the yawning abyss of commercial indifference. With the Dreamcast recently celebrating its tenth anniversary, what better than to check out what the cult console has to offer in that department.

  • lorem1000, on 02/03/2009, -0/+14"Toy Commander... The Dreamcast launch title you've completely forgotten about..."

    Wrong. While it had unique single player missions, I've *never* forgotten about one of the most fun multiplayer games ever! Miss that one. After Ecco: DotF (originally on Dreamcast but later PS), it was my favorite title on that console.
  • nesstheking1, on 02/03/2009, -0/+14those aren't cult classics, they are just classic.

  • pitchblack16, on 02/02/2009, -0/+9I want it!!!
  • cave, on 02/03/2009, -0/+9Soul CalibUr is not cult, it's mainstream.
  • Namakemono, on 02/03/2009, -0/+9"Jet Grind Radio" in the US
  • MYarms, on 02/03/2009, -0/+9San Francisco Rush 2049, the 4 player battle and stunt modes. Many days and nights spent on that one.
  • mywhitenoise, on 02/03/2009, -0/+9yeah, no Sonic Adventure, Shenmue, MDKII, Resident Evil: Code Veronica, or Soul Calibur either?
  • Namakemono, on 02/03/2009, -0/+9One of my all-time favorite RPGs.
  • djmphoto, on 02/03/2009, -0/+9Still waiting for part 3
  • Awwzm, on 02/03/2009, -2/+11SOUL CALIBER
  • tidu, on 02/03/2009, -0/+9lol I wouldn't call that 1080p.

  • praisethelard, on 02/03/2009, -0/+8Uh, Jet Set Radio Future was on the Xbox.
  • SverigesKung, on 02/03/2009, -0/+7Where were you the day the snow turned to rain?
  • 1ofMany, on 02/03/2009, -0/+7Soul Calibur, Dead or Alive, and Power Stone were actually big sellers for the Dreamcast which is why they weren't included as cult classics. This was a list of lesser known titles.

    I always thought that Hydro-Thunder was under appreciated.

    To this day I refer to my Dreamcast (which I will NEVER sell) as my Soul Calibur machine. That game was beautiful in every sense of the word.
  • nibkey, on 02/03/2009, -0/+7Kiss off, punk!
