    I bought a Dreamcast this year (making sure to get a model that will take burned games out of the box without any modding), and I honestly haven't found a game that I really like for the system. No, I don't like Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 all that much.

    About the only game that comes close is Record of Lodoss War. But that's just because I loves me some hack and slash.

    That's a myth btw, I have 3 dreamcasts and one is supposedly past that date to require modding and all of mine play burn games fine. *shrug*

    It's really a fighter/shmup machine so if that isn't your thing you won't really like it. Plus a handful of weird unique titles and rpgs.

    Holy crap. Can I drop by your brother's house sometime?

    For the rest of the posters, I am dissapointed. You all missed the point.
    SEGA was one of the big four and the Dreamcast is their most loved console EVER, up there with the Genesis.

    However, loving SEGA as much as I do I am proud of all of you.

    Contradictorious, I know, but that's the way it is.

    Also, have you guys heard of emulation? As in... the name of the site?
    No one but me got interested in trying out the less known games?

    I mean, I've played a 3DO but it was completely forgettable. A friend of mine collects rare/odd consoles so I could play just about anything if I wanted to, but why would I want to?

    We aren't counting stuff like PC-ENGINE CD right? I mean, I think it was loved in Japan. To be fair it was a bit before my time so idk. I'm pretty sure it wasn't popular in America (turbo-grafx 16).

    @aa: Who doesn't love the wonderswan? XD

    Yes, PC Engine counts. So does its' successor.

    Most of the world doesn't...

    By "less loved" I meant those consoles that most people world-wide don't know about, independantly from commercial failure.
    For each N64 sold, three people owned a Playstation; yet, thousands love the N64, right?
    The Saturn would fit in this category - I hardly ever hear anyone talk about it.

    I can't say I played one of the less loved consoles in real life, but I did emulate the Wonderswan

    I almost bought a Saturn once, but I didn't get one. I regret it now.

    I like how a good bit of talk here is about the Dreamcast, though. Gotta keep the Dreamcast's memory alive. If we don't, no one else will (and they'll all go for Sonic Adventure DX, blegh).

    Jet Grind Radio is the best game, I don't care what others say. I own a DC Genesis, NES, wii, and PS1

    I now have over 100 DC games like I mentioned and JGR is good, but imo games like Powerstone 2, Rez and Shemue 2 are better. I'd give it top 5 tho.

    I dug my Virtual Boy out of the basement last week. Of course the one game I actually wanted to play I lost (Teleroboxer). Teleroboxer is an awesome game. Basically Punch Out but a hell of a lot cooler. The only other games I had were Mario Tennis (the pack-in), Red Alarm and Galactic Pinball. I hated Red Alarm.

    Also, yeah, Game Gear. Pre-Pokemon, I probably played my Game Gear more than my Game Boy as a jong boy.

    I'd play virtual boy if it didn't make my eyes bleed out.

    I have a Saturn and a Dreamcast, but I don't see how they are less loved. I guess maybe the Saturn to a degree, but it had some pretty good games.
