Title: PAL Dreamcast games
Post by: 90snostalga on January 30, 2014, 02:10:39 pm

What are some good PAL Dreamcast games to play?  One day, I plan on collecting some to play.  Also, does the game shark trick really work to play out of region games or is it best to just get a PAL Dreamcast system for those games?

There was another thread not too long ago that never really went anywhere asking something similar. Kimimi had mentioned some games though. I think the gameshark trick is legit.

Here's the other thread.

I think BikingJahuty will probably have some suggestions.

Thanks.  Those seem to be japan dreamcast games tho'.  I'll search around online and try to find a list and I'll message Sin2Beta if no one comments because he should know some good PAL's.  Did you try to play any imports on your dreamcast?  Did you get them to work?

I don't currently have any imports. Back when I was like 16 I used to download lots of Japanese games and the boot disk method worked no problem for me. So the Gameshark should work no problem.

Yes he does :D! The three most popular PAL imports seem to be Head Hunter (ported to the PS2 in NA), Evil Twin (PAL exclusive), and Cosmic Smash (Released in Japan as well).

REZ and Fighting Vipers 2 are two others.

I also forgot to mention Shenmue 2. It was released on the XBOX in NA, but it's always cool playing it on the Dreamcast. It doesn't have the amazing English voice acting from the first, but at least it has subtitles :p
