    Crazy Taxi at any price! I still play that game, to the extent that my Dreamcast has been in my 'current' line-up of consoles below the TV for the last 10 years just so I can play it.

    Am I the only one that found Skies of Arcadia to be a drawn out bore of an RPG? If I'm gonna ask for an RPG from the Dreamcast, it's going to be Grandia 2 all day long.

    i remember skies of arcadia. i rented it long while back when i had the DC and it was ok seemed like your average j-rpg i did like the whole sky island theme. my biggest gripe isn't with the game it's what i did while playing it i accidentally saved when i had no chance of going forward lol.

    That would be incredibly awesome, provided they don't charge a monthly fee for it again. However, I wonder if they'd actually do it, considering it could conflict with any of their PSO/PSU/PSWhatever plans they have for current gen.

    I could see Sega letting Capcom in on the dev kit to port these to let some of their DC Gems come over.

    I'm not so fond of Crazy Taxi. I enjoy it but it was average at best for me.

    I want Ooga Booga. My time online with that game was cut short when the SegaNet ISP was killed off. I could never get a good enough connection when I had to switch over to AT&T.

    Alien Front Online too please.

    I had it back in the day, but it got boring after awhile. Never beat it and wound up trading it in.

    Oh god, AFO! Many a good time were had on that, despite that big ass yellow ball mic that only worked if put your controller right in front of your damn mouth :lol

    Even if they did charge a monthly fee I would be all over it. There really needs to me a console MMO and at least this time it would be nice to think people won't be able to cheat like back in the Dreamcast days.

    I think they could do it without needing a fee. The whole reason they did it back then was to fund the servers the game ran on. Just do away with the virtual lobby thing and use a common matchmaking system where games are hosted by the players instead. No servers needed.

    Sega as a compamy is doing terribly it could do with the money and to be fair when I think MMO I think monthly subscription - but saying that I wonder how many people would actually want to pay for it.

    Either way more console MMO's need to happen and this would be a great step in the right direction. Plus I hardly played it during its original Dreamcast run so I want to see what I missed out on :eek:

    The Dreamcast version Soul Calibur is already on XBLA, I think its been there for about a year now.

    Yeah, that's the biggest problem I see with a fee. Would the average gamer actually be willing to pay a fee for a 10 year old game?

    Definitely agree that consoles need some MMO love. I still think it's a damned shame that they did Monster Hunter 3 for the Wii only. I just don't get the logic on that one. When it comes to online multiplayer, the Wii sadly is NOT where it's at.
