The Essentials: Dreamcast
Welcome to an ongoing series that I'm so eloquently dubbing.... The Essentials. Across the coming weeks, I'll be bring what I consider to be the group of games best representing the console in question. One console will be feature a week.
There are a few criteria:
1. Only one game per franchise. (Otherwise I could make an entire list of only two franchises.... like the Playstation 2 otherwise could be almost entirely Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy games. Instead, the game most representative of the franchise on the console will be listed).
2. I'll try my best to avoid ports. Multi-console release games are okay, but if a game was originally on a different console and brought over to the addressed console later, I'll do my best to avoid it.
3. There will be a minimum of five games, and a maximum of ten. This is based majorly upon the life cycle of the console.
4. Games are not in any particular order.
This week we'll be looking at the Sega Dreamcast. A cult, fan favorite, the Dreamcast proved to be Sega's final entry in the hardware world, but it was a groundbreaking one that people still looking upon fondly. So what games are essential to the Dreamcast?
