Happy 10th Anniversary of 9.9.99!

Yep, it's that day! The final Top 100 is almost ready and will be posted here later today. For now here's a quick video about my thoughts on the American launch, though I'm in the UK I don't have that much to say about it to be honest. Still, the games that released on day one was simply amazing: the quality and variety on offer.

Bandwagons Ahoy!

I am in awe of the sheer amount of effort that the illustrious Gagaman has shoehorned into the DCJY's Top 100 feature (coming reeeeeeal soon, folks!), but I just noticed that Games Radar have published a 'Top 7' list of the DC's finest moments. Pah. It's not a patch on GM's effort but I thought I'd link to it anyway...just to show you how the pretenders like to roll...

LINKETY LINK!

Voting stage two is up! Three more days!

The main poll of the User Top 100 is closed, and now we have some polls up for the games that came in with a joint amount of points. What we need now is for you vote vote for one in each poll only, to decide which should be above the other. These games are:

MDK 2 vs Soul Reaver : Legacy Of Kain

With joint 140 votes:

Only a week of voting to go! We need your clips!

The Top 100 Dreamcast poll is close to closing, only one more week to go! The votes have been starting to slow down a bit, and there is still a lot of games with the same amount of votes as each other, so at the end new polls will be set up to get peoples favorites out of those.

Also editing together this top 100 video is going to be quite a mammoth task, so if you have any clips of you talking about your favorite games, please send theme my way as soon as possible so I can add them into the videos. Any interesting clips are welcome at this stage, seeing as I have so far...erm...none at all. I'm also going to need footage of some Dreamcast games I don't own or haven't got very good footage of (like for example from further in a game than just the first level), if any one can provide some that'd be great:

MDK2
NBA 2K Series
NFL 2K Series
Phantasy Star Online
Fur Fighters
Grandia II
Illbleed
Ikaruga
Record Of Lodoss Wars
Resident Evil 2
Resident Evil 3 Nemesis
Resident Evil Code Veronica
Space Channel 5 and Part 2
Sega GT
Seaman
Soul Reaver : Legacy Of Kain
Star Wars Episode One : Racer
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2
Worms : Armageddon / World Party

Video about the Top 100 CountDown on 9/9/09

Two videos in two days? That's not like me! This has been put up on Youtube to not only get more people voting, but also to see if we can get some quotes and even fan videos to add to the Top 100 count down videos that I will start uploading on 9/9/09 and most likely continue on into that week. If you've ever seen the Channel 4 Top 100 shows I'm going for a similar format to that.

Dreamcast User Top 100: Vote for your Favorite Games!

As I suggested in the comments some time ago, here's something I've been wanting to set up a big event for the Dreamcast's 10th Anniversary since it's American launch (because 9.9.99 is the date everyone remembers) and here it is. The poll was so big that instead of placing it on the side here where it would look rather ridiculous I've set up a temporary blog for it. You can vote for as many or as few games as you like, and you can also edit your picks too. The poll is open for 30 days.

Take note just reading through the list may take you a while, so wherever you want to pick every game you like or just your absolute favorites is up to you. There's 385 games to vote for spilt across eight polls (because it errored out when I had it as one large poll). That's almost the entire consoles library, Japanese, PAL, American, even indie releases are all included.

The poll will close on 4th September and the results of the top 100 (and the bottom 20, and maybe even the entire 385 if there is enough demand for it, will be revealed on good old 9/9/09. I really hope this becomes the definitive poll of everyone's favorite Dreamcast games anywhere, so the more people who vote the better. Get stuck in!
