Introducing a new video series for a system that has been shown no love on my channel...until now. The first game I will be looking at is Elemental Gimmick Gear (EGG). This is a Adventure style overhead action RPG with gameplay that is similar to the 2D Zelda series.

Thanks guys, keep in mind that this series will mainly be of games I have NEVER played before, so it may be awhile before I talk about games i already own/played like Sonic adventure, Powerstone1+2, Shenmue, House of the dead, Jet grind radio, and a few others. I will get to them eventually though.

It's great that you are FINALLY showing some love to the Dreamcast. Great video, Pete. This game looks like a lot of fun. I'll have to track one down. What are your thoughts on Typing of the Dead, if you own it? I've been wanting to buy that and a Seganet keyboard.

Nice. Elemental Gimmick Gear was such a budget title in its time. And as far as the few RPGs on the machine this one was a brilliant action rpg. It was originally developed for the saturn (unreleased). But the 3d bosses were the new feature for the dreamcast. Train and battle the guy in the first town 100 times to get a gyro that makes spinning not drain your health!

There's something really special about this game, regardless of the lackluster gameplay. The game is beautiful and so is the music. I can't comment on the overall story as I haven't played far into it, but the idea and the way it's presented --again there's something unique about it and there's a sense of mystery and a real want to find out how things connect. The soundtrack seemed to sell out before anyone got a chance to own one. I hope this gets released on some current gen console.

I forgot to also mention Ecco the Dolphin. The series first and only 3D title Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future. I had a lot of fun playing this, controlling a dolphin in a 3D environment is loads of fun. A sequel was in the works and got canceled. It would be awesome if they resurrected this series on new gen consoles.

MDK 2 is definitely an essential Dreamcast game, though really hard. I never thought I'd see EGG mentioned anywhere, but I guess I was wrong. If you read this comment (Pete Dorr), I'd like to recommend a site called racketboy. It has this hidden gems section that is absolutely fantastic for finding unknown games for all different systems.

Off the top of my head, I'd recommend Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram, Zombie Revenge, Sword of the Berserk: Guts' Rage, Outtrigger, Maken X, Mars Matrix, Cannon Spike, Tech Romancer, Gunbird 2, Bangai-o, Time Stalkers, Illbleed, Carrier, Giga Wing, Giga Wing 2, Skies of Arcadia, MDK 2, Seaman, Project Justice, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Super Magnetic Neo, and Samba De Amigo (but only if you get the Maraca controllers).

You were th one who gave me the idea to start collecting Dreamcast games because you didn't do much with it. Time Stalkers is pretty enjoyable, along with Super Magnetic Neo it's a good Crash-like game except with magnet puzzles, Plasma Sword, Mr. Driller, and Silver looks pretty good.

You should check out Wind & Water Puzzle Battles. It was made by a group of Independent Game Developers named Yuan Works. It was released in 2008 to celebrate the Dreamcast's Anniversary, and it is a very entertaining puzzle game and comes highly recommended.

I never owned a Dreamcast and in fact barely played but I remember playing it my first time at a friend's house and play a Rayman game. Not sure which but I loved it and loved the feature with the little screen on the controller. Why don't you check the series out for Dreamcast + the controller feature if you haven't yet.

Awesome idea for a new series! The Dreamcast was the first Sega console I actually noticed back in the day; I don't remember seeing any Saturn games at the store (though I'm sure they were there, haha), but I do remember seeing Dreamcast games when they came out. After the Genesis, Sega's story is so full of woe T.T

But been playing egg, skies of Arcadia, and Grandia 2 to put a band aid on my withdrawals for skyrim cause not seeing any extra money anytime soon. Pissed. But getting to play old classics on dc at least I guess.
