Much has been said about how the Dreamcast was a wholly underrated system. Here are 100 games, many of which really show off just how underrated it was. (And a couple that are probably best forgotten...)

What was surprising was to find a game based on Japanese horror movie "The Ring" (#85 in the video). It's a mediocre survival horror game, but one wonders if its profile would have been higher if it was released after the 2002 American remake of the movie.

Also of note is Shenmue. We take "open world" games for granted now - but to see it being done back on the Dreamcast back in 2001 - on not-so-powerful hardware is pretty darn impressive

What's interesting is that many of these games are quite playable and compelling. Having revisited some other "classic" systems for videos on this page, I can say that most of them held nothing but historical interest. Here, though - I actually enjoyed firing up and playing through some of these for the video. Probably why it took me so long to put this together.

Any of your favorites I missed out?
