Aaron C-T Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 So yea.. I've got like 49 blank bucks. And I'm wanting to buy a few games. Before I run to the store and pick up the copies, I'd like to know if any of these games on this list are deemed.. bad, and if you know of any other good ones. So yea.. here goes: Quake III Arena Power Stone 1/2 Sonic Shuffle Marvel vs Capcom 2 Border Down Bomberman Online Phantasy Star Online v2 Any good racing games would be nice as well. Being that I'm selling my Gamecube I'm going to need some games to play, and some multiplayer ones to bring to my Otaku club at school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USC Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 I think Bomberman Online only has an Online Mode, which doesn't work now... Quake III can be played via homemade servers so it's cool. The Powerstone series is great. Sonic Shuffle is decent if you have patience... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron C-T Posted August 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Ah.. how do you go about hooking up a DC to play online, then? I had AOL at the time. Now I've got Road Runner.. do I just plug it into my modem? That and how would I get onto a homemade server? Also a serial came with PSOv2 (which I didn't have on the list for some reason). Does that mean there are still servers up for that as well? And I'm considering Shenmue but it's like 4 discs alone or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor-J Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Sonic Shuffle is good, but if you don't have friends it gets repetitive. Awesome mini-games though and the board parts are much better than the sluggish Mario Party, it's more tactical as well. If you don't already have it get Jet Set Radio, you won't be dissapointed. Also PSO V2 is basically V1 with different stages, its kinda crap actually, V1 is much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USC Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 For Quake III, check out Online Consoles. There's a homebrew server for the US version of PSO here. And...get Shenmue if you enjoy story a bit more than gameplay. It's one of my favorite games, but that's just me and these guys here. Edit : Get version 2 of PSO, otherwise you'll have big problems playing it online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron C-T Posted August 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Crap I have no broadband adapter. And chances are I won't be able to hook up the PC-DC thing. Maybe I'll buy a BBA off ebay or something. Edit: Scratch that. It's 71 bucks. I'll try my hand at the PC-DC thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aki-at Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Skies of Arcadia - Pretty good, and some great character designs here and there, just dont expect an revolutionary plot on par with Metal Gear and you might get frustrated with how often the random battles are. Though considering all that, it still is my favourite RPG of all time. Virtua Tennis 2 - A few mates, a few control pads and multiplayer bliss! also found the single player to be quite enjoyable too. But seriously, if your thinking about multiplayer, you need to get this one =P 18 Wheeler - Was a bit hesitant at this, but after a mate of mine gave me the demo, I just realized how bloody awesome driving a truck down a highway was while crashing all the cars in my way whilst trying to outwit my rival >_0 Jet Set Radio - Well I just like Jet Set more then Jet Grind, but if you haven't got this game, the style of the graphics, and soundtrack, and gameplay, just make it one of the best Dreamcast games avalible ChuChu Rocket - The ultimate manic multiplayer game, nothing beats it on the Dreamcast in the caterogary of manic, nothing. Though you should have gotten it when SEGA had offered it free XD Shemue - If your looking for a unique gaming experience look no further! although, after playing it, you'd only want more, and SEGA don't seem to be comply much to that =E I'll say Sonic Shuffle is a major let down on single player, but so is all other board games, as a multiplayer game its perfectly fine though and some of the min-games are fun to play like where your a giant and have to stomp on people! As for racers, I heard F355 Challenge was good, although I haven't played it, so I can't really recommend it. Metropolis Street Racer also got a few good mentions, but again, never played it...

Aaron C-T Posted August 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 After reading some of the PC-DC thing.. I don't think I can do it. ::Pissed because chances are he can't just plug the damned cord into his modem and play:: Aki: Yea, I've got SoA, haven't played it in a month or two though. Now that I'm getting rid of my GC, and the DC's fully taking over I probably will. I've got Jet Grind Radio as well. I love eet! I think I've played 18 Wheeler in an arcade once. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shadix Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Time Stalkers I found a pretty nifty game, even though there are problems with the gameplay. I'm personally a nut for Sonic Shuffle, even though all the critics and many fans hate it. There is just a certain amount of freedom in it that Mario Party doesn't have. (Most of the minigames are kinda lame though...) I take it though that you are agains't the idea of burning DC games? The DC reads CDRs just fine, even commercial games.

Aaron C-T Posted August 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 ::Cough::That'swhatI'mdoing::Cough:: ^.^ Umm.. I've obtained about..5 games already. Just going back for another bunch now that there's more space in the drawer. I've got abou 49 blanks. But at the same time I don't want to just blow them. I think if there's a PC version of PSO or Quake III I'll just download them. I'd still get Quake III though for Otaku meetings and for when people come over and I want to kill. I actually own Sonic Shuffle though. It's just that I bought it used and it's so scratched that it stops once it gets to the SEGA screen. Which is.. the second screen. I don't even know what the menu looks like. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USC Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 If you check the forums at the PSO server I linked, you find both free Dial-up accounts for Dreamcast, and some...information on the no longer sold PC version of PSO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyRaccoon Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Skies of Arcadia - I suggest this. But this is because I'am a sucker for Airship based anything. Sonic Shuffle - I do not suggest, unless you want a player Vs Players game. The CPU cheats. (This is a fact. not conjecture.) Resident Evil Ports - Resident Evil 2, 3 and Code Veronica are all pretty good on the DC! if you have'nt played them yet, I suggest them for the DC. Soilder of Fortune - This is a good first person shooter for the DC. the load times in between parts is a little long... but in the end, it's worth the wait.

xhedgehogx Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 I played marvel vs capcom 1, that game was pretty damn good, never played 2nd. Unreal tournament is pretty fun.

I don't think I can do it.::Pissed because chances are he can't just plug the damned cord into his modem and play:: Aki: Yea, I've got SoA, haven't played it in a month or two though.

Aki-at Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Ahem, now I'd like to add a few more...and I'd add more later...as I remember... Soul Calibur - If you want to pummel someones skull into the ground with a nun-chuck, a bo staff or a legendary sword, I recommend grabbing a copy of Soul Calibur. Although not as frantic as Power Stone, still a great game to add to the collection. Crazy Taxi - Good clean arcade fun, I recommend this right now if you've got an urge to drop of some random guy at the burger stand while terrorizing him so much Bush would nuke you, also if you ever liked that old Sonic crazy taxi fangame (gosh I still remember that, good times) Grandia II - Damn, forgot to add this earlier on, the second best RPG on the Dreamcast, but don't let that put you of, still a very fine game if you are into RPGs. Daytona USA - Liked the original? this be the best version out there of the classic, I recommend you get this if you want racing games. Graphically updated and three new tracks to boot! awesome stuff =P And seriously, 18 wheeler, you play as a bloody truck down the highway, the only think better then that right now, is dressing up as Kitty Pride Darth Vader at a sci-fi con! and believe me I've seen that, so 18 wheeler is number two at awesomeness right now .__.

Eraysor Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Virtua Tennis is brilliant, especially with friends on multiplayer. My favourite DC game (apart from SA) is most definitely Jet Set Radio. It's a great game, the art style is beautiful and the soundtrack is just awesome.

wesker Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Crazy Taxi 2-The best game in the series. Jet Grind Radio-Awesomely stylish game with great game play. Sonic Shuffle-Awesome with multiple people, reeeally frustrating by yourself. Shenmue- One of the best games ever made, really need to play part 2 on the xbox. IllBleed- Unique horror game. Marvel Vs Capcom 2- Awesome fighting game with some excellent Capcom characters (Megaman, Jill Vallentine). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor-J Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Shenmue- One of the best games ever made, really need to play part 2 on the xbox. Shenmue was good for a few days but then I realised that the fighting in it is kept to an absolute minimum, only buy it if you like games with cut scenes after cut scenes after cut scenes and little actaul gameplay.
