For the record Shenmue is in at 6 and II at 24


But this list simply reminds me of how many great games the console had in such a short time.

Pretty shitty list. Too many sports games. It's missing quite a few. Esp E.G.G. Elemental Gimmick Gear. Painfully overlooked game.

I'm a little surprised that 3rd strike isn't a bit higher on the list.

5/50 and one of those was Ready 2 Rumble which was hardly a serious sports title.


Its mostly fighting games.

Huh.
So the top Dreamcast game is a licensed fighter which isn't even exclusive to the Dreamcast.
:roll:
Yeah, sure, that's what comes to mind when I think of the DC. Uh huh.
Never mind the detail-oriented, open-environment 80s revenge story, the cel-shaded rollerblading grafitti simulator, the sky pirate-themed Sega-developed RPG, or the over-the-top arcade-style taxicab racing game.
No, none of those come to mind when I think of the Dreamcast.
Just Capcom and their 579th fighting game to be released in a single decade.
Yessiree.

Some great games on there, but the order is ridiculous.

Yeah thats a very odd choice. It still manages to show many of the great exclusives the console had but the order is odd and too many capcom fighters.

The dreamcast did have a lot of great fighters though.

True but i had lots of other good games that could have been on the list rather than fighter after fighter.

Rez, HeadHunter and Quake III need to be on that list IMO as do a few others.

^ true, for a top 50 (which is a pretty big list) it's missing some important titles. Plus, as others have already said, the order is all sorts of messed up.
