Dreamcast has many great games
The dashboard has nothing without a game, and Dreamcast is no exception. But, although this platform is a commercial failure, cannot blame the absence of these games: SEGA provides players an impressive release line.
In fact, the Dreamcast period was the most tested in the history of the publisher. The company has sponsored many abnormal projects, including Chu Chu Rocket's online riddles, rhythms like Space Channel 5 and Sega Bass Fishing Simulator, even received a separate controller. Do not mention the sailors about fish and human hit hits, such as Rez and Smash universe. The publisher even adjusts the house of the shower on the dead railway to the studio where you need to print – knock the dead.
But perhaps the most ambitious project on Dreamcast was Shenmue – at that time, the most expensive video game in history, and, partly, the discovered in the RPG genre in the open world. In a second, without Shenmue, QTE mechanic will not become a standard for the industry.
Dreamcast Ported Games for Arcade machines on home platform
To this day, Sega owes its many Arcade machines and because Dreamcast is built on the same part of the line as the publisher's machine gun, the company decided not to overcome a favorable opportunity. Therefore, on Dreamcast, there have been Home Home version of many games, only playing in the hall of Arcade devices. Crazy Taxi, Virtua Fighter 3TB, House of the Dead 2, Sega Rally Championship.

If SNES is known mainly by JRPG and PS1 – according to the first three -dimensional blockbuster, Dreamcast has been remembered by the public about the emphasis on Arcade games.
Support online gaming
The dissemination of cyber games on the control panel is usually attributed to Xbox, but Dreamcast is a real pioneer in this field. It was the SEGA panel that was the first to be sold with the connected modem. And then, the separate company began selling an upgrade in the form of a converter for broadband connection. The game industry at that time was simply not ready for such innovations.
For the context, PlayStation 2, often known as the killer of Dreamcast, nothing is of this type. The SEGA platform not only supports the web surfing with the help of the exclusive browser on the plate, but also the cross-fauna integrated in titles like Quake III Arena.
In addition, Dreamcast has allowed to download the free download from the Internet – from levels for audio adventures to game modes in Crazy Taxi 2. Moreover, files occupy enough space and are placed on conventional memory drives.

She is also the first platform to provide a controller with analog activation.
At the technical level, Dreamcast tied the graphics on the original PlayStation that looked like a misunderstanding, and provided the performance that Nintendo 64 could only dream of. At that time, many games still target 60 frames per second as the basic index, especially the Arcade ports-and SEGA here is an expert.
Finally, Dreamcast is also the first console to achieve 480R resolution using VGA-Adaptor. Not all games support him, but the adapter still becomes a compulsory purchase for those who want to see the completely new games in the best schedule. SEGA also wants to transfer Dreamcast games to Windows, which I have created a special version of the control panel cooperating with Microsoft. But in the end, she did not receive many games.
