There is a game called Cadillacs and Dinosaurs on the Sega CD, but tragically it's not the same. It's using the same license, but it's some FMV shooter from what I understand.

It would have been nice if Video Pinball got a home port. It's very different from the Atari 2600 one.

I owned that game.

What did you expect from the company that made "Loadstar: The Legend of Tully Bodine"?

FMV games are the suck. (Dragon's Lair and Space Ace don't count because they were LD games. And everyone knows LD's rock.)

I enjoyed it. I am a sucker for the X-Files, and Agent Scully.

Poisoned Seeds

'Nuff said.
Couldn't have said it better. I would have also liked to see Armored Warriors and Battle Circuit...


There are a crap-load of old Konami games that I've always wanted to see for the console market, including G.I. Joe, The Simpsons, Mystic Warriors, and the awesome Xexex. I'm sure there are more, but I can't remember all of them now...

And I know I'll get shit for this, but I've wanted Samurai Shodown 64 and its sequel on a console for a long, long time...


"Why wasn't Capcom porting all their great beat 'em ups during the 32 bit days? There was Tenchi wo Kurau II, which is great, but it's a fucking cocktease"

I agree 100%.

Also, almost everything on Dave4shmups' list. Lots of great games on that list, too! Vasara!

Mmm, agreed. I'm a sucker for a redhead. I've noticed a disturbing trend with redheads dying their hair blonde, and it always turns out bad. The redhead from That 70s Show, Lindsay Lohan (although she's gotten disgusting in a lot of different ways, the hair is the least of her problems), there was someone else I was thinking of earlier too.

I only started watching the X-files religiously during its last few seasons, and have only caught the occasional episode on Sci-Fi, but it's a great show. If only those DVDs weren't so insanely expensive.

Stunning indeed. :) Early on she had that other hairstyle, then I was pleasantly surprised when she came out with the "sophisticated" hair look. Absolutely gorgeous.

Apologies to the thread creator, off topic continues...

There were lots of great arcade games that never got a port to a home console, few of which could have been easily and perfectly done on the dreamcast. Here's some on the top of my list:

Change Air Blade
Le Mans 24 (model 3)
Senko no Ronde (Naomi)
Turbo Outrun
VF4: Final Tuned
Virtua NBA (Naomi)

Turbo Outrun was ported to Megadrive (very good port from what I tried too). Very strange how this port came out only in Europe and Japan.
