Skies of Arcadia is quite memorable, Evolution was a nice modern take on old Rouge-like dungeon games,  Sonic Adventure the last good Sonic game on a console, Shemue was just badass, etc. etc.

Ah I forgot about Sonic Adventure.

Remember all the super weird Dreamcast games that just made you go "WTF?"

Like "Seaman". I remember when that game came out, there were innumerable "Seaman" jokes in every single review I could find. Some of them were quite funny if I remember correctly. Like "everyone knows that girls love Seaman" and "Seaman may be hard to swallow at first, but give it a chance".

Only on Dreamcast. And only Japan would come up with such a crazy game.

EDIT: And Leonard Nimoy voiced the narration for the English version!

I remember Sonic Shuffle being a complete, horrendous, terrifying abomination.

Not much else about the DC I remember, except Shenmue and Seaman. God, I love Seaman.

God, I love Seaman.

Was this a deliberate pun or do you in fact actually love the game? Or both?

I'm playing Star Ocean, Chrono Cross, and Dragon Quest IV Right now.

Grandia II was the first and only Dreamcast game I ever bought. Skies of Arcadia was great, though...Shenmue II was ok, for being trapped in mini-game hell (right alongside FFVII)...Otherwise, the DC had some great Fighting games...Marvel vs Capcom 2, Capcom vs SNK 2, Guilty Gear X, Last Blade 2 & Dead or Alive 2 (yay for sequels!)...

Going through Fire Emblem Six, for like the sixth time, but this time, I'll make sure I do finish it.

[KebreI]

Heres a question for you Fire emblem players. Do you let people die? Every Fire Emblem I've played I always make sure everyone survives, regardless of their usefulness.

[Acacia Sgt]

No, never do I allow that. And also, I make sure to get as anyone as I can. Actually, I decide beforehand who is going to be part of my final team.

I doubt any of you have heard of it but I recently replayed Freespace 2 the sequel to Descent Freespace.  I forgot how awesome it was.

Thank you for testing the user group for us, Mr. Tuesday. I'll have you back to admin status so you can resume your automated duties sometime tomorrow.

Looks cool. Although I myself prefer the Ace Combat games.

[HyperNerd]

Scratch the Star Ocean, and replace it with Seiken Densetsu 3 and you'll have what I'm currently playing.

Deliberate pun. Though the game itself gave me nightmares.
