Sega Dreamcast

The Dreamcast is probably the reason why I’m not a big fan of PS2 games :). It clearly has short arcade style (or arcade port) games. The Dreamcast is one of the console I love to turn on for immediate fun.

This is my personal games selection for this plateform.
This page may be updated from time to time.

Meaning of the columns : 

  • Save : tells how many blocks are required for saving
  • VMU: tells if and how a VMU is used
