    I'm disappointed that nobody has mentioned the best scrolling shooter of all time, Ikaruga. The DC was its first console release. It's a game so good that Blizzard based a WoW boss on it.

    Of course, the humor of this is that if it wasn't for the DC's rampant piracy, I probably never would have even played the japan only release :p

    Last time I played on a Dreamcast was I think my 27th birthday, couple of years back (honest). We invented a drinking game to accompany Sega Marine Fishing. A great start to a night and it's a lasting testament to the success of the drinking game that I can't for the life of me remember which birthday it was. Those old Dreamcast fishing games were great fun.

    I still love my dreamcast. One game that was definitly forgotten is "Headhunter"! This is still my all-time favorite game. The soundtrack is still the best game soundtrack ever written. At the moment I'm playing shenmue again with my kids. :) It's really fun!
