METROLPOLIS STREET RACER!
how did we forget this one? The best racing game I have ever played. It has now developped into project Gotham Racing with I think is overdone now. MSR was perfect! That should be in my top 5 list....

Is that the one where you have to get a certian lead on the cpu to take away there health? If so...I remember it and it was great!!!

Their used to be a great multiplayer fighting game. Yes up to 4 players fighting at the same time.
If anyone can remember, it was also an adventure game.

[---HeyburT---]

lol you must, did you ever play powerstone 2....It was like powerstone 1 but...plus 1

 

[Gunplay]

Never got to play 2, I'm assuming it must've been an improvement on the classic?

Yeah Dreamcast kicked ass! I even have the keyboard and a mouse. I got them for Quake3 but never played it online. I guess it were the backups that killed my DC. Too bad... It had great games: NBA 2k2, Dead or alive 2 , Bomberman, Crazy Taxi, Soul Calibur, Rez, WWF Royal Rumble was pretty crap but very funny with 4 players ... and the emulation... if only the snes emu would have been 100%. But I'm happy with NES, Master System and Megadrive although the Megadrive loader was pain.

Too bad they screwed up the marketing. I mean what's the point of sponsoring Arsenal if the console itself doesn't have any good footy games? Of course there were the likes of Virtua Striker and 90 minutes, but they never felt like football, more like arcade.

Dreamcast couldn't of been that great if it couldn't keep up with the likes of PlayStation, Nintendo like. But I can't speak from experience as I only ever played on one once.

From what I've read Dreamcast was a lot easier to code than let's say PS2. The good part was that DC developers could make better games in the start than PS2, but in the long run PS2 developers learned new tricks to raise the quality of their games. And as DC went full throttle in the start, there wasn't much improvement in the future anymore. Also the DC suffered from not having big names. Dc had good but not well known games like Jet Grind Radio and Soul Calibur. Think of FIFA vs PES. PES is better but FIFA sells more by it's name.

Of course there were other reasons why DC lost to PS2 and X-BOX. Like the lack of marketing and piracy. But just because it didn't sell as much as the others doesn't make it bad, right?

PoewrStone 2 was a very fun game to play. My favourite level was the cave, when the big stone starts rolling and only two people can get through the door at the end of it.

Sega Genisis was the best Sega console... had the Streets Of Rage games and was just all-round better. The Dreamcast had better graphics butgameplay was terrible, i got a DC and couldnt wait to sell it again! Like how Mario was classic on the NES & SNES, on the '64 it was awkward with the camera constantly moving. Dreamcast is crap & was a waste of money, if you're buying a console, Playstation only... the best!

Best game on the DC was Virtua Tennis! Code Veronica would be 2nd!
