Nine Dreamcast Games In Need Of Resurrection Power Stone Fighters these days tend to come in two flavors; 2D and quasi-3D. Capcom knows fighters, and its Power Stone brought 2-Player 3D combat to the Dreamcast in spades. The game was packed with memorable characters, interactive environments and a crazy variety of objects with which to maim your enemies. Each player scrambled and quarreled over the power stones that appeared randomly on the screen, making mad dashes for them as they popped up. Once you collected enough stones, your character transformed into the ultimate destructive force on the battlefield. wow gold Street Fighter 4 released to glorious fanfare when it released this year, with gamers everywhere reveling in its polished 2D fighting. If fans were so quick to gobble up what is basically a perfected version of Street Fighter II, what's to stop gamers from losing their minds over a next-generation Power Stone? The gaming machines of today have the power to make a 3D fighting game for the ages, so why are we still so firmly planted in 2D? Capcom has a highly decorated track record of re-imagining old classics, and never has their been a more worthy candidate of an update than Power Stone. (The PSP collection was a nice bonus, but we’re not resting until we get a full-on sequel.) Seaman When playing video games, sometimes you want to blow things up. Sometimes, you just want to converse with a virtual fish while listening to the soothing tone of Leonard Nimoy's voice. Seaman was a virtual pet game for the Dreamcast which came packed with a microphone attachment. By feeding the Seaman and talking with it, players could help guide the evolving aquatic organism into maturity. Seaman definitely had its quirks, but there is no denying that the game pushed the boundaries of how players could interact with video games.wow gold Developers of today should take a cue from Seaman. Gamers have been communicating with each other via microphones online for the last few generations, and many consoles even come packed with them. Very few games incorporate voice recognition technology, and the ones that do, do so in unremarkable ways. It wouldn't be a bad move for Sega to revisit the Seaman series and take advantage of the fact that so many gamers have microphones on standby. Imagine an entire online zoo filled with Seaman-esque creatures, with a gigantic, gold statue of Leonard Nimoy standing proudly in the middle. Actually, don't imagine that. We're not taking responsibility for your night terrors. Shenmue In Shenmue, players stepped into the shoes of a young man named Ryo. Immediately burdened with the quest of avenging their father’s death, it was up to you to find out who exactly was responsible for killing him. The road to vindication involved training, exploring, and… getting a job? That’s right, in Shenmue players took part in every aspect of progressing the protagonist, even the minute, tedious tasks. Orphaned kitten? Feed it. Lost elderly woman? Help her out. Who knew so many of life’s duties could be completed via quicktime events? “Life simulators” aren’t incredibly rare anymore. Games like Second Life, The Sims 3, and World of Warcraft allow gamers to develop a virtual surrogate in a persistent digital world. Though all of these games offer a much deeper alternate reality experience, Shenmue still stands out as having an engaging, involved story that motivates players to do simulated chores they have to do after playing anyway. Fans have been clamoring for Shenmue 3 for years—why not give it to them? Zombie Revenge Zombie Revenge is commonly referred to as the greatest game ever created. Combining the polished gameplay of Diehard Arcade with the superb plot of Return of the Living Dead, the game shines with brilliance. As special agent Stick Breitling, you chained together 32-hit combos on the walking dead while picking up “boolets.” Should the waves of uncouth cadavers overwhelm you, Stick mutters a half-hearted “damniiiit…” as he collapses to the ground. In all seriousness, Zombie Revenge is still fun to play despite its ridiculous premise. wow gold Video games these days simply get too much polish. With standards being set so high, it’s getting tougher and tougher to find a unique, fun game that's supported by a ludicrous frame (i.e. terrible voice acting, characters, story, and writing). In an age of video games hurting for some fun, arcade-style action, a return to Zombie Revenge couldn’t come soon enough. Armada Armada was a perfect game to put all four of the Dreamcast's controller ports to use. You and your pals chose from six unique alien races and took to the skies. You piloted a spacecraft with high firepower and turbo thruster capabilities. The combination of boosting through the atmosphere and firing at enemy ships gave Armada an updated Asteroids feel.wow gold Metro3D’s polished shooter would be the perfect candidate for the downloadable marketplace of today. The game’s simple top-down perspective would allow developers to create a beautiful world without demanding too much graphical fidelity. Additionally, the game could benefit from the dual-analog, Geometry wars style gameplay that is so popular today. A sequel to Armada would be right at home among the other great downloadable titles on the major consoles. Toy Commander Just as Revolt injected the racing genre with a whimsical twist, Toy Commander took the conventions of vehicular action in games and added a twist. As the commander of several types of toys, you embarked on missions across a household accomplishing various tasks. From dropping sugar cubes in hot cocoa to boiling eggs, you used a helicopters, planes, and tanks to do your bidding. No task was too small for Toy Commander. You can’t play a game today that doesn’t involve dismembering space aliens or slicing up bad guys with a big sword. That’s why Toy Commander stands out as a great way to enjoy fun vehicle action without dealing with all the bloody aftermath. Games are fully capable of being enjoyed without necessarily making you stand knee deep in dead bodies while doing it. Revisiting Toy Commander could remind everyone what good, clean fun really means. Skies of Arcadia When constructing a list of memorable Dreamcast games, it’s impossible not to mention Skies of Arcadia. The solid RPG offered a memorable story revolving around Vyse, a sky pirate who bowed to no authority. Whether fighting in a dungeon or airship-to-airship, the combat was reliable, traditional JRPG at its best. Thank goodness the battle system wasn’t a chore, either, as the encounter rate in Skies of Arcadia was ridiculous. Vyse and his crew were practically tripping over enemies. A follow up to Skies of Arcadia is a no-brainer. Nintendo fans may have received a watered-down port for the Gamecube, but everyone is still waiting to get their grubby mitts on a true sequel. Vyse and Aika have even made appearances in the Valkyria Chronicles PS3 game and anime, so the sky pirate crew is back in video game relevancy. Now they just need to defect from Squad 7 and hijack their own game. wow gold Revolt You remember that part in Toy Story with the little RC car zipping around town, avoiding huge obstacles? It was fun to watch, and it was just as fun to play. Revolt for the Dreamcast took the simple concept of traversing the everyday world as a tiny, remote controlled car and threw in multiplayer play. By collecting power-ups, players could launch water balloons and fireworks at each other while vying for first place. There has been a resurgence of arcade-style racing games on the market these days, but all the high octane titles tend to look pretty similar. We could stand to see a racing game that combines the great arcade style within the context of a standout environment. Sure, racing on official courses can be fun, but who doesn’t want to cruise around a museum as a tiny RC car? Today’s racers just don’t deliver that kind of fantastical experience. Floigan Bros. Episode 1 If you ever wondered what it would be like to be thrust into a Saturday morning cartoon, Floigan Bros. had your answer. The game combined slapstick violence with goofy humor while tossing in fetch quests and co-operative maneuvers. Playing as the quick-witted and shrimpy older brother Hoigle, you helped your younger oaf of a brother Moigle. Your aim was to help him collect seven components for a secret experiment, all the while avoiding his tempter tantrums and corresponding beat downs. In a marketplace utterly devoid of solid 3D platforming, revisiting Floigan Bros. would be a breath of fresh air. The game's unique sense of humor and clever premise could definitely help a sequel separate itself from the dreary, gritty, brown and gray games of today. The colorful presentation and expressive characters would be even more lovable in a next-generation iteration. If a character like ‘Splosion Man is still able to win over gamers’ hearts these days, than the Floigan Bros. definitely are worth revisiting. Still Thinking? Like any celebrity that dies young with a strong cult following, there are rumors that the Dreamcast is not actually dead. Is Sega's little white box living in the Rocky Mountains with a transistor radio and an abundant supply of baked beans? Maybe it underwent surgery and is actually disguised as your Nintendo Wii. Whatever the case is, some refuse to believe that the Dreamcast is dead. This post was written by szmcs090925
