dreamcast fans seem nuts 99.9% of the time

Yes, but the other 0.1% of the time they are reasonable, sensible, intelligent, logical and sane

Phantasy Star Online needs to get props for it's music. There's more to a games beauty than graphics, although they aren't too shabby in PSO either.

I'm sure you're quite welcome to use it I mean that 100%

Absolutely right, I totally agree with you ! Music is immensely important as it can help set a scene, capture a mood or a moment and evoke all sorts of emotions in the player. And I think a good soundtrack has the power to transform even ordinary games into something truly beautiful.

PSO certainly has a fantastic score. Also, have you ever played Lack Of Love ? Ryuichi Sakamoto's minimalist soundtrack is central to the games' story, atmosphere and premise - it's breathtakingly beautiful by itself and, coupled with the story and graphics, it makes for a memorable experience.

There are so many more beautiful Dreamcast soundtracks..............

I agree with the OP's choices but I'm not sure in which order lol, certainly I think one of the most beautiful games of the Dreamcast Library is Ikaruga, but I'm not sure where they come. Has anyone played Le Mans 24 Hour? The graphics are ASTOUNDING!!

I agree...

I second this statement! The only other racer that comes close to it's awesome graphics on DC is TXR2.

I third that statement.........with the proviso that you all accept that Vanishing Point and F355 come very close to equalling it.

It still galls me that the DC Le Mans 24hr doesn't have the Ps2 version's pit stop routine. A baffling ommision which Sony fanboys back in the day had great fun pointing out

TBH Vanishing Point looks like a hi res viisually polished version of a PS1 port so i personally feel it doesn't compete graphically so said racing titles on DC... Although i most def agree with F355! It's one fuckin' gorgeous looking game!
How could I forget

I had no idea! Don't recall that really, other than the fact that the game SO jaggy! +1 for the Dreamcast!

Interestingly, the game engine which powers VP was designed around getting the most out of the DC and Ps2 architecture. It was certainly amongst the highest poly-pumping games around back then. The Ps1 version was a port of this engine, not the other way round.

Oh i see. didn't know that actually.
