The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Though it may have been overshadowed by Resident Evil: CODE Veronica a few months after release, Carrier still manages a decent survival horror experience. It doesn’t stray far from its RE-based roots, but it does show signs of the genre finally stepping into the next generation with 3D environments and refining manual aiming and movement.
Dreamcast owners got a special treat when Capcom gave them the exclusive next chapter in the Resident Evil saga. Code: Veronica brought 3D environments and big upgrades to the established gameplay, and while it stumbles a bit over its aging mechanics, it manages one hell of a ride. If you have a Dreamcast, then you simply have to own this game.
In 1999, Sega expanded on its House of the Dead series with an solid beat-’em-up that came to Dreamcast the following year. Chock full of extras, Zombie Revenge was fun for a while, especially with a second player. It’s a little bare if you’re planning a long gaming session, but there’s enough fun to be had fending off the undead.
Capcom gave Dreamcast owners another taste of Resident Evil with a quick port of the second game right after Code Veronica debuted. No major upgrades were included, and while this version wasn’t on the same level as the latest entry in the franchise, there was still some (undead) life left in the classic adventure that warranted another trip to Racoon City.
Yu Suzuki’s Dreamcast masterpiece was a revolutionary title that blew gamers away when it debuted in 2000. Decades later, it still holds up, with its intricate narrative, large world to explore, and those great little capsule toys! If you haven’t played it yet, what are you waiting for?
