Mars Matrix, for one. And technically speaking, it's Zero Gunner 2. There was a Zero Gunner, but not for the DC. I'll try to think of others.

That would be Psyvariar 2: The Will to Fabricate -- official title for the Sega Naomi GD-Rom disc + special security chip dongle and DC GD-Rom disc iteration. It does output very nicely with the Sega DC VGA Box in 640 x 480 high-res mode along with the usual low-res 15.7 kHz mode as well.

I think he means the only one with 2d graphics.

Also should be noted the only one (that I'm aware of) that doesn't support VGA. Which is bullshit otherwise I'd be playing it in my awsd right now.

You CAN play it through VGA! You have to "trick" your DC to do it though. Boot up your DC with the game in as usual but with the VGA cable unplugged. Then when you are pretty sure the game has booted up put the cable back in and BAM! you're in business. It might take some experimenting, but trust me, it works. I do it every time I play the game.

Yeah.. it's works so great that the game starts to suffer from various sprite-loading issues once you get to stage 4. DO NOT BOTHER FORCING THIS GAME INTO VGA. Same goes for Bakuretsu Muteki Bangaio... unless you enjoy playing games in the upper left quarter of the screen (N64 Golden Eye 4-player anyone?).
