Dreamcast Homebrew Website Relaunched

Wraggster writes "Those who have never visited the DC Homebrew site, devoted to homebrew games and demos for the Sega Dreamcast, should be aware that it's just received an official relaunch, including over 230 pages of downloads of demos, games, ports, multimedia, and some great help pages too. New features for the site include a developer spotlight and homebrew spotlight - it's a resource well worth checking out." With titles like the great-looking Alice Dreams, there's some interesting material coming out of the unofficial Dreamcast coding scene of late.

Is the Sega Dreamcast getting a rematch?

Probably not, but all things considered (its FIFTY BUCKS for a Dreamcast system, most people spend double that on gasoline for their car a month), for the cheap gamers, hackers, programmers, and those tired of 'remade games just with better graphics' this is excellent news.

Right about now, the Dreamcast is somewhat prematurely in its "glory day". While most Dreamcast games sucked to no end, it had many decent PC ports (Quake III, Unreal Tournament) and a handful of other good games

I cant really agree with you. Dreamcast had the best games at the time and many classic titles that later where ported to other systems. 2d fighters (sf3, capcom vs. snk 1 and 2, guilty gear etc.), sega sport titles, segas most innovative titles (rez, jet grind radio, space channel 5). And really good third party games such as Soul Calibur.

Other "lost" DC games still out in the wild?

I'm sure you all remember the story regarding Propeller Arena, [lonseidman.com] a great game that was canceled just before its release. Few knew it ever made it out of Sega until Slashdot referenced an article on it not too long ago. Somebody purchased the GD-ROM for over $1500, turned it over to a hacker, and the game suddenly found its way to the Net :).

I wonder how many other games like this are out there sitting on dev boxes somewhere just waiting to be discovered.
