[quote name='daroga']I've never really understood the continuing love for the Dreamcast. Save for a handful of games, there's very little unique that hasn't been ported to a different system in a superior version.
I loved the DC too, and it was tragic due to its loss of potential. But as it was left, there's just not much worth preserving on it I don't think.[/QUOTE]Actually, I still love the Dreamcast quite a bit. Although I've been ditching some of the games I had for it, there's no denying there's a few games I still really love for it (which cannot be found elsewhere) and won't let it go.
Canon Spike was a really fun co-op game and I'd play that game multiple times with my friend. I still do sometimes.
Confidential Mission was a light gun game I really enjoyed (only $20 too on release) and trying to get all judgment shots is a challenge.
Gigawing 1 and 2. I still play both games constantly because I love how bizarre the games games. The crazy high scoring is cool too.
Gunbird 2. I still love the quirkyness of the game and find it enjoyable.
Jet Grind Radio. I hated the demo at first, but once I gave it another shot, I fell in love and bought it. Now it's one of my favorite games of all time. JSRF on Xbox was one of the reasons I got an Xbox early on and just didn't like it anywhere near as much. I love trying to spy paint and dodge the cops, and so on coming after me.
Samba De Amigo. The Songlist may be limited, but I always have fun every time I play it and love the music.
Soul Calibur. IMO, the best in the series in some ways, but it impressed me in the past and still somewhat does now.
Tech Romancer. This IS the reason I will never ditch my Dreamcast. This game is like a dream come true for me, fighting as giant mechs (one love of mine). The game is filled with anime (another love of mine). It has completely Japanese voices (another love of mine), and the Story mode has a pretty good story. The soundtrack rocks too. It was one of the last Dreamcast games I bought too, and glad it only took a trading of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 to get this.
Tee Off Golf. Well, the one thing that makes this game stand out is having a game of Croquet. I still play that game with friends at times.
Virtual-On: Oratorio Tangram. I'll admit I'm finally going to sell this game (I'll probably regret it one day), but the graphics were superb, gameplay was fast and fun. I got all right with the controls lacking twin sticks, but cannot remember how I played (since when I play it now, can't figure it out), This game NEEDs to be on XBL/PSN with online play (Dual Analog sticks should help).
Although a few games might have been ported elsewhere, like Grandia II, Skies of Arcadia, Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, I invested 20-40 hours in each of them, and no way I want to start all over.
I had 62 Dreamcast games before, although I sold most. I'll admit 15 or so weren't that great, but I enjoyed the rest. Some were ported and some I felt I just wouldn't play again (like Project Justice, but I got double what I paid when I sold it).
I understand why Sega had to pull out because they were in huge debt (around 2 billion I think) and could not deal with taking a loss on hardware (like Sony, MS, and Nintendo can do). It also hurt Sega they were only a video gaming company, so if they weren't doing well in gaming, they were really hurt (unlike other companies which make up in other areas, or Nintendo who still has a lot of money from the huge success of NES and all the Gameboys). I bought my Dreamcast on 9/9/99 at midnight and still glad I did. Still works great now. I was extremely disappointed in PS2 early on, so I sold it and stuck to the Dreamcast. Eventually I switched to Xbox/PS2/GC getting my support (although not as much as Dreamcast) until late 2003 (where I started to really support PS2 a lot).

Have you found her panties yet?
I think everybody has said the same thing. Very unexpected.
