Shenmue Passport coming back online.

MMO Shenmue with the right marketing could easily be very profitable for them just as PSO was.

AFAIK, it only had system-link capabilities.

I seem to recall F355 having online via ghosts. Like you'd be able to see transparent ghosts while you were racing, but in the replay they'd be fully fleshed out. Atleast that's what I seem to remember reading, never having actually tried it out myself.

Ah yes, I forgot about the "nebulous" Shenmue online.

Theres a few games still online, most importantly Quake III which I still play. You can find a complete list over at www.onlineconsoles.com.

And yes, they really do need to get Alien Front Online...well...back online. I bought it after it went offline. :cry: I did play a few matches with a friend's copy before purchasing it though and it was awesome.

Why the hell would you play Quake III on Dreamcast in the year 2006? The mind boggles.

Shit, I still have Quake III, I must've played it two times. I too, am wondering why you would still play it. Do you play with controller or kb/m?

Agreed. I loved the game but the horrible lag made me stop playing it. An updated version would rule.

Alien Front online was very smooth for a dial up game, only problem I had was of course when someone with a horrible connection joined. Which would either lag or crash the game entirely.

Bomberman Online was the only DC online game which never worked for me, the server for that game was complete garbage.

Mouse and keyboard. Now. I played with the controller for a long time.

And I play because it's a lot easier to play on the DC than it is to hunt down my PC version and install it. If I can play something on a console over the PC, bet your ass I will.

Plus the servers allow for both PC and the Dreamcast, so theres never been a time I've signed on only to not be able to find a game to join.
