The Sega Dreamcast died too young. Here are the hidden gems and must-play classics from Sega's final console.
The Sega Dreamcast launched in 1999 and died in 2001 — but in those two years, it produced some of the most innovative games ever made. Here are the Dreamcast games you need to play.
1. Shenmue (Dreamcast)
Yu Suzuki's ambitious open-world adventure was decades ahead of its time. The daily life simulation, QTE fights, and detective work influenced every open-world game that followed. Find copies on eBay.
2. Jet Set Radio (Dreamcast, PC)
Cel-shaded inline skating with graffiti and one of the best soundtracks in gaming history. Jet Set Radio's art style still looks fresh 25 years later.
3. Skies of Arcadia (Dreamcast, GameCube)
One of the greatest JRPGs ever made. Sky pirates, airship battles, and a world begging to be explored. The GameCube version is available on eBay and Amazon.
4. Power Stone 2 (Dreamcast)
A 4-player arena fighter that's pure chaos. Power Stone 2's interactive stages and transformations make it the ultimate party game.
5. Crazy Taxi (Dreamcast, PC)
"YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH!" Crazy Taxi's arcade action is timeless fun. The Offspring soundtrack is permanently burned into every '90s kid's brain.
