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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
