There was also the fact that Sony and Nintendo were firing on all cylinders with the best PS1 games and best N64 games around this time. In the end, it didn’t matter how good the Dreamcast’s lineup was if no one was around to play them.

Years late,r we’ve realized the error of our ways and come to appreciate all the great games the Dreamcast gave us. While some did get ports later, a lot of games were only available on this little white system. Many iconic franchises got their start here, including some games we think are among the best games of all time.
