    I never owned one, but my friend who did played a lot of Seaman. That was pretty fascinating

      I love Ikaruga from an aesthetic, mechanical, and presentation perspective.

      But it’s been 23 years and damned if I still don’t suck at that game. This coming from someone who can fairly reliably at least see the final boss of Progear on one credit.

        I gave up on DoDonPachi. Same thing, 20 years of just grinding and sticking with it, even did the classic “final final true boss has one hit point and I choke” move.

        Now I’m 49, my reactions will never be what they were when I was younger, the dream is over.

        The visuals and music are what kept me coming back to it for years hah, but I’ve only beat it scrub style with the assistance of ROM rewinds. Some games are designed to eat quarters, I think Ikaruga was designed to drain paychecks.

      I love my Dreamcast but Rez is infinitely superior on the PS2

      (I have the Rez Trance Vibrator)

        I haven’t played on PS2, but Rez Infinite uses additional controllers as trance vibrators. Great for parties!

    Sonic adventure 1 & 2. Put a ton of time into both of those games.

    Also enjoyed wacky races with friends.

    Power Stone 1 and 2, so much fun in college. Space Channel 5, just loved the retrofuture ascetic and rhythm games. Same for Rez, a rhythmic shooter. Oh, can’t forget Jet Set Radio, loved that so much.

    Mine was Skies of Arcadia - I know it also came out on GameCube, but I first played it on the Dreamcast. It was also (somehow) my first experience with a jrpg.

    Was anybody else young enough to get endless entertainment out of those demo disks that held a dozen demos on them?

      I used to love those! I never had a Dreamcast but I used the hell out of those for my original Playstation. And I think PS2? I forget if they still had those with the PS2.

      I always thought Soul Reaver played so much better on the Dreamcast then it did on the PlayStation. Great game.

      Strangely Gex played better on the 3DO than on the PlayStation as well.
