Dreamcast
Here we have all the games in the Dreamcast Section.
Dreamcast
RPG
Very bizarre role playing game looking like it was inspired by Little Big Adventure with plenty of psychedelic happenings. The graphical style and gaming style is perfectly suited to the cult hero Dreamcast.
Dreamcast
Simulation
Explore the city and chat with the ladies, but be careful what to say or risk more than just losing face: it could well be a slap in the face.
Dreamcast
Simulation
Giants of the PC Engine scene try their hand at 32 bit with this evolution based RPG simulation. As such one for the Engine fan boys and gals.
Dreamcast
A Bit Special
Ryo continues on his quest for revenge to Hong Kong and the mountains of China. Incredible cinematic experience that incredulously never received a North American release: such craft deserved the widest possible audience.
Dreamcast
Sports
Night time racing with blurry taillights, well illuminated road signs and realistic roadside scenery that adds much to the underground feel of illicit petrol head rallies. Includes the two player mode adding much longevity and excitement which was sadly shunned for the sequel.
Dreamcast
Shooter
All the frills of the arcade on this home version. Alas a giant snipers rifle may not have proved the most practical so is sadly missing. But other than that, this is a fine light gun game that works a treat on the standard controller as the sight is zoomed around the screen before zooming in for a better look. That is a better look when the power has not just been shot out in the claustrophobic, near darkness levels. The tactical element is grand too with adversaries being taken down through hotel windows within the time limit to preserve the peace. And some fine Bond like tunes.
Dreamcast
Rhythm
Gyrate to the beat with the sexy Space Channel reporter Ulala. Just don’t ask about the story! Unique feel to graphics, full of futuristic frolics. A Dreamcast must have.
Dreamcast
One on One Beat Em Up
Cheaper alternative to the Sega Direct Matching Service release only missing the online versus battle option. Update of the Saturn title with masses of fighters with some funky costumes including the cos play inspired Mika.
Dreamcast
Simulation
Mech battle sim with dramatic orchestral score and plenty of zooming in and out to the action. Player avatars and a fine sci-fi plot (well in anime terms) complement the action superbly.

Sports
From the Rage stable, playing in a similar vein to the Striker series. A good, solid, professional effort – the Gareth Southgate of the Dreamcast football world.

A Bit Special
Perhaps it was playing this on his import Dreamcast that Mr Cowell first came upon his idea for a TV show? The producer must choose a budding artist from the host of auditioning wannabes. Then the real work starts in making a song and getting it to Top of the Pops.
Dreamcast
Simulation
The isometric battles work a treat, interspersed nicely with the Macross style anime’s of snappy haircuts and dramatic dialogue.
Dreamcast
Puzzle
One of the earlier releases for the DC bringing the classic Russian puzzler to the table for up to four players. Multiplayer madcap mayhem assured.
Dreamcast
Action
Eye catching arcade wizz converted with style and panache to the Dreamcast maintaining the dark, tragic, gothic feel of the arcade big brother. Requires a steady nerve and fast trigger finger. A real blast in two player.

One on One Beat Em Up
Smashing conversion tailoring the game to the DC’s hardware and adding in a plethora of unlockable extras. Intelligent use of the ‘striker’ character is essential to progress and there are plenty of potential candidates who rush on launching a scathing attack, then disappear after a bit of taunting. With thirty five slickly animated playable characters to choose from matched by the same number of strikers there’s plenty to get your teeth (and fists) into.
Dreamcast
One on One Beat Em Up
Hi-res, mean and moody gritty urban look to proceedings as Playmore gets tough after SNK’s demise. Includes tidy puzzle mode where you can send a special move out to devastate your opponents play field. Love it or loathe it: you have to admire the bold graphical shift to reflect darker street fashion.
Dreamcast
Sports
Slickly animated and with plenty of razzmatazz to blend the borders between the sport and its gaming equivalent with wrestlers instantly recognisable. The series reaches a crescendo bigger than Big Daddy jumping off the ropes in this pinnacle of Dreamcast wrestling.
Dreamcast
Simulation
Saccharine sweet and that’s just the J-Pop opening tune before you have met the ladies that star in this school based romantic game.
Dreamcast
One on One Beat Em Up
Not quite wrestling, not boxing – no holds seem barred either in this encaged grapple fest. Plenty of modes of play and makes good use of the license, even down to the ability to edit your player. Still even without changing your man there are some brutal looking bruisers to choose from.

Simulation
Serious looking machinery and gruffer looking blokes make up the into to this military simulation with the commands in English making it accessible for those who like to take their crack team behind enemy lines and follow the plan through to fruition.
Dreamcast
Action
Takes a plethora of vehicles from off roader, to vintage bus to big old trucker and places them into a scrap yard of doom where they must blow hunks of metal out of each other. Thrills and spills as the chase ensues with the four player mode being a total blast.
Dreamcast
Sports
Losing nothing in the home conversion, best played with four players. Not merely button bashing though as timing is the essence of most events. The 1,500M event captures plenty of the pain and anguish the real athletes must feel.
Dreamcast
One on One Beat Em Up
Superb fighting series and worthy follow up which was never going to be as great a leap forward as between the first and second installments.
Dreamcast
Sports
Where as the passing system isn’t perfect, this arcade classic still can set the heart a flutter with some very special goals. The first to introduce a very clever crossing system and the potential for wing wizardry.
Dreamcast
Simulation
Battle mech against mech through various arenas. Not quite on a of the same complexity as XBox Tekki, but true mastery requires a little bit of time to get to grips with the controls. But the rewards are a real delight once players can control the giant machines to lay waste to an opponent. Full screen play against a human opponent is possibly if you have the system link cable.
Dreamcast
Simulation
Life is never dull in the bright and breezy world of the Pia Carrot cafe with adorable staff with plenty to say.
Dreamcast
A Bit Special
A treasure hunt title known as Yukawa Otakara Sagashi in Japan that was a promotional disk, but could also be bought. Players at the time were lucky enough to be able to win ten thousand Yen to allow them to order the likes of Border Down or Space Channel 5.
