Čini se čudnim razmišljati o svijetu u kojem naslovnicama o igrama nisu dominirali Nintendo , Xbox ili PlayStation , ali je jednom bio četvrti kandidat: Sega . Sega Dreamcast je lansiran 1999. godine kao prva od šeste generacije konzola, iste ere u kojoj su bili PlayStation 2^{(PlayStation 2)} , Xbox i GameCube .

Međutim, životni vijek mu je bio samo tri godine. Promjena vodstva u Segi^(Sega) i hlađenje stavova viših prema igranju na konzolama doveli su do ukidanja Sega Dreamcasta^{(Sega Dreamcast)} u ožujku 2001. godine^{(March 2001)} .

Sega bi nastavila kao programer igara treće strane, ali njihovo vrijeme na tržištu konzola je došlo do kraja. Dreamcast je bila konzola s golemim potencijalom i bibliotekom igara koje su postale kultni klasici, iako su mnogi vidjeli remake na drugim platformama. 

Ako ste dovoljno sretni da se dočepate funkcionalnog Dreamcasta^(Dreamcast) i želite provjeriti njegovu biblioteku čudnih, bizarnih, ali ludo zabavnih igara, u nastavku je 7 najboljih Dreamcast igara koje možete isprobati. Također, pogledajte naš kratki YouTube video u kojem prikazujemo igru ​​nekih od naslova u nastavku:

Fantasy Star Online^{(Phantasy Star Online)}

Jedan od prvih MMO^(MMOs) -a baziranih na konzolama koji je došao na zapadno tržište, Phantasy Star Online nastavio je Phantasy Star seriju na potpuno nov način. Umjesto poteznog RPG -a , Phantasy Star Online se upustio u akcijski MMO teritorij.

Ukupno četiri igrača mogla bi se udružiti kako bi se probili kroz četiri faze na planeti Ragol , u četiri različite razine težine. Cilj igre je bio napredovati kroz svaku tešku razinu sve dok ne dođete do najtežeg područja, u kojem trenutku Phantasy Star Online postaje pljačkaš. 

Jednostavna mehanika trčanja razina i brušenja za sve bolju opremu stvarala je varljivo ovisnost i držala je mnoge igrače privučenima stotinama sati.

Sonic Adventure

Sonic Adventure je obilježio odlazak Sonic the Hedgehog iz 2D prostora u 3D područje, barem u mainstream igrici ( Sonic 3D Blast se poigrao s njom na Sega Genesis .) Igrači preuzimaju kontrolu nad jednim od šest likova, uključujući nekoliko manjih likova. - poznata imena. Igra održava prstenove kao zdravlje mehaničara, pojačanja i još mnogo toga. 

Međutim, najpopularniji aspekt igre za mnoge igrače bio je Chao Garden , okruženje u kojem je igrač mogao podići Chao . Bila su to mala stvorenja koja su poboljšala svoje vještine natječući se u utrkama i mogla su se koristiti u mini igrici pod nazivom “ Chao Adventure” kroz Dreamcastovu virtualnu memorijsku jedinicu.

Jet Set Radio

Dreamcast je bio utočište za igre s čudnim konceptima, a Jet Set Radio nije iznimka. Igra obuhvaća mnoge od prevladavajućih tema kasnih 90-ih i ranih 2000-ih: pobunu protiv "čovjeka", umjetničku slobodu i samoizražavanje. 

Igrate kao član ulične bande pod nazivom The GGs i radite na tome da osvojite više terena od suparničkih bandi s kojima se suočavate. Postoje tri načina igre, a svi se sastoje od prelaska grada na in-line klizaljkama i označavanja svake točke grafita vlastitim simbolom. 

Jet Set Radio donio je ubojiti soundtrack i inovativnu igru ​​u Dreamcast , te je čak nekoliko godina kasnije ponovno objavljen na Xboxu.

Svemirski kanal 5^{(Space Channel 5)}

Svemirski kanal 5^{(Space Channel 5)} je čudan. To je čudna mješavina ritam igre i puzzle igre s mehanikom igranja koja podsjeća na Simon Says . Vi kontrolirate Ulalu^(Ulala) , reporterku koja radi za novinsku postaju Space Channel 5 . Postoje četiri faze, od kojih svaka Ulala oponaša pokrete svojih protivnika. Razine su podijeljene između pozornice za ples i snimanje. Zdravlje^(Health) je predstavljeno mjeračem srca u stilu Zelde, gdje se srca gube ako pogriješite u oponašanju pokreta protivnika. 

Nakon što je igra dovršena, otvara se način New Game+ koji nudi alternativne rute kroz igru ​​s novim obrascima kretanja neprijatelja. Space Channel 5 neobična je fusnota u povijesti igara, pogotovo ako uzmete u obzir da se i sam Michael Jackson pojavljuje u drugom naslovu.

Shenmue

Malo igara vrišti "kult klasika" kao što to čini Shenmue . Naslov je ponovno objavljen nekoliko puta na drugim platformama, omogućujući novim generacijama da preuzmu kontrolu nad Ryo Hazukijem^{(Ryo Hazuki)} i ponovno prožive avanturu. U stvari, Shenmue 3 je nedavno bio dovršen putem masovnog financiranja, na veliko slavlje obožavatelja posvuda. 

Shenmue je napravio ime za ludu razinu detalja u igri. Pohvalio se ciklusom dan-noć, promjenjivim vremenskim efektima i još mnogo toga—svi detalji nikada prije viđeni u video igrici otvorenog svijeta. Iako Shenmue danas pokazuje svoje godine, ipak ga vrijedi isprobati ako želite na pravi način doživjeti dio povijesti igara.

Nebo Arkadije^{(Skies of Arcadia)}

Skies of Arcadia izgrebao je JRPG koji su iskusili mnogi Dreamcast igrači, uvodeći opširnu priču i nezaboravne likove koji su RPG pretvorili u kultni klasik koji se igra i danas. Karta svijeta prilično je jedinstvena po tome što počinje prazna. Igrač mora istražiti svijet kako bi nacrtao kartu. Likovi^(Characters) s kojima se igrač susreće mogu se regrutirati u svoju posadu, što često daje prednosti istraživanju i bitkama čak i ako nisu izravno uključeni. 

Izvorno objavljen za Dreamcast , Skies of Arcadia ponovno je objavljen na GameCubeu^(GameCube) u obliku Skies of Arcadia : Legends. Zanimljivo je da je ponovno izdanje ukupno dobilo manje kritike od same originalne igre.

Pomorac^(Seaman)

Seaman je na ovoj listi najboljih Dreamcast igara ne zato što je dobra igra, sama po sebi, već zato što je jednostavno bizarna. To je igra koja tjera igrače da zastanu i preispitaju svoje životne izbore. Vi kontrolirate slatkovodnu ribu s ljudskim licem - oh, a glas mu daje Leonard Nimoy . 

S Seamanom^(Seaman) komunicirate preko priključka za mikrofon. Igra je pomalo poput virtualnog kućnog ljubimca u kojem Seaman napreduje kroz pet životnih faza, što u konačnici kulminira njegovim puštanjem u divljinu kada potpuno odraste.

Dreamcast je možda bio komercijalni neuspjeh, ali njegova knjižnica predstavlja čudno, prekrasno vrijeme u povijesti igara. Ako možete pronaći ispravan Dreamcast^(Dreamcast) (ili želite pronaći ispravan emulator), ovih sedam naslova itekako je vrijedno vašeg vremena, makar samo zbog apsurda nekih od njih. 

The 7 Best Dreamcast Games of All Time

It seems strangе to think of a world where the gaming headlines were not dominated by Nintendo, Xbox, or PlayStation, but there waѕ once a fourth contender: Sega. The Ѕega Dreamсast was launched in 1999 as thе first of thе sixth genеration of consoles, the samе era that held the PlaуStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube.

It had a lifespan of only three years, however. A change in leadership at Sega and cooling sentiments toward console gaming by the higher-ups led to the discontinuation of the Sega Dreamcast in March 2001.

Sega would continue as a third-party games developer, but their time in the console market had come to an end. The Dreamcast was a console with a huge amount of potential and a library of games that have become cult classics, even though many have seen remakes on other platforms. 

If you are lucky enough to get your hands on a functioning Dreamcast and want to check out its library of strange, bizarre, but insanely fun games, the following are 7 of the best Dreamcast games to try. Also, check out our short YouTube video where we show some gameplay of some of the titles below:

Phantasy Star Online

One of the first console-based MMOs to come to the western market, Phantasy Star Online continued the Phantasy Star series in a brand new way. Rather than a turn-based RPG, Phantasy Star Online ventured into action MMO territory.

A total of four players could team up to fight their way through four stages on the planet of Ragol, in four different difficulty levels. The goal of the game was to work your way up through each difficult level until you reached the hardest area, at which point Phantasy Star Online became a looter. 

The simple mechanic of running levels and grinding for better and better gear was deceptively addictive and kept many players hooked for hundreds of hours.

Sonic Adventure

Sonic Adventure marked the departure of Sonic the Hedgehog from the 2D space into the 3D realm, at least in a mainstream game (Sonic 3D Blast toyed with it on the Sega Genesis.) Players take control of one of six characters, including a few lesser-known names. The game keeps the rings-as-health mechanic, power ups, and much more. 

However, the most popular aspect of the game for many players was the Chao Garden, an environment where the player could raise Chao. These were small creatures that improved their skills by competing in races and could be used in the minigame called “Chao Adventure” through the Dreamcast’s virtual memory unit.

Jet Set Radio

The Dreamcast was a haven for games with odd concepts, and Jet Set Radio is no exception. The game captures many of the prevalent themes of the late 90s and early 2000s: rebelling against “the man,” artistic freedom, and self-expression. 

You play as a member of the street gang called The GGs and work to claim more turf than the rival gangs you face. There are three game modes, all of which consist of traversing the city on in-line skates and tagging every graffiti point with your own symbol. 

Jet Set Radio brought a killer soundtrack and innovative gameplay to the Dreamcast, and was even re-released a few years later on the Xbox.

Space Channel 5

Space Channel 5 is weird. It’s an odd mixture of rhythm game and puzzle game with gameplay mechanics that resemble Simon Says. You control Ulala, a reporter that works for the news station Space Channel 5. There are four stages, each of which has Ulala imitating the movements of her opponents. Levels are split between dancing and shooting stages. Health is represented with a Zelda-esque heart meter, where hearts are lost if you make mistakes in mimicking your opponent’s movements. 

Once the game is completed, a New Game+ mode opens up that provides alternative routes through the game with new enemy movement patterns. Space Channel 5 is an odd footnote in gaming history, especially when you consider that Michael Jackson himself makes an appearance in the second title.

Shenmue

Few games scream “cult classic” like Shenmue does. The title has been re-released several times on other platforms, allowing new generations to take control of Ryo Hazuki and relive the adventure all over again. In fact, Shenmue 3 was recently crowdfunded to completion, much to the celebration of fans everywhere. 

Shenmue made a name for itself for the insane level of detail in the game. It boasted a day-night cycle, variable weather effects, and much more—all details never before seen in an open-world video game. Although Shenmue shows its age today, it is still worth trying out if you want to properly experience a part of gaming history.

Skies of Arcadia

Skies of Arcadia scratched the JRPG itch many Dreamcast gamers experienced, introducing an expansive story and memorable characters that turned the RPG into a cult classic that is still played today. The overworld map is rather unique in that it starts out blank. The player has to explore the world to chart out the map. Characters the player encounters can be recruited to their crew, often lending benefits to exploration and battles even if they are not directly involved. 

Originally released for the Dreamcast, Skies of Arcadia saw a re-release on the GameCube in the form of Skies of Arcadia: Legends. Interestingly, the re-release received lower reviews overall than the original game itself.

Seaman

Seaman is on this list of best Dreamcast games not because it’s a good game, per se, but because it’s just bizarre. It’s a game that makes players pause and reconsider their life choices. You control a freshwater fish with a human face—oh, and he’s voiced by Leonard Nimoy. 

You communicate with Seaman through the microphone attachment. The game is a bit like a virtual pet where Seaman progresses through five stages of life, ultimately culminating in his release into the wild when he is fully grown.

The Dreamcast may have been a commercial failure, but its library represents a strange, wonderful time in gaming history. If you can find a working Dreamcast (or you want to find a working emulator), these seven titles are well worth your time, if only for the absurdity of some of them.
