Note from racketboy: Thanks to Ack for helping me me revise and expand this guide (it really needed it). Can you believe the Dreamcast has already been around for a decade? (and that it was only on the retail scene for three of those years?) To help celebrate the landmark, we’ve revised and expanded the […]

Presented by Ack See also: Survival Horror 101 and Survival Horror Games and Franchises That Defined the Genre The success of Resident Evil for the PlayStation really brought horror games to the forefront of gaming, finally giving them a genre name to call their own.

The Dreamcast is a perfect example of a console that had relatively low commercial success, but a huge underground following after its death. These two factors help brew up a strong library of games that have high collectibility among gamers that are just now finding out what was so great about the Dreamcast. There are […]
Note from racketboy: Forum member, nick944 was kind enough to share this informative review about his portable Dreamcast system with us. I hope you enjoy it! What Is A Treamcast?

As we’ve discussed before, sealed games yield quite a premium over their opened counterparts when it comes to collectors. This is especially true of games that are rare to begin with.

The Need For Solid Arcade Controls One of the initial motivations for getting a Dreamcast was its wide selection of fighting games such as Marvel vs. Capcom, Soul Calibur, and Street Fighter Alpha 3.

I’ve had a couple requests to compile a list of all the Dreamcast games that have appeared on other console and the PC and Mac as well. While this list may not be exhaustive, it includes just about every worthwhile game Dreamcast including imports. The list is alphabetical and the other systems each game appears […]
