Was it on the Dreamcast, the MegaDrive, GameCube, or are you one of those very few who actually own a SEGA Saturn??
Or have you had a good-ol' time with SEGA in the Arcades maybe?
Whatever SEGA game you've played, whatever SEGA format it's on, just name it here - and add wether or not you enjoyed it.
Remember: SEGA Console Games ONLY!
We don't want this one to be like Cooky's thread! ;)

I've been playing Shenmue, Crazy Taxi, and MSR (aswell as some Demo Disc games) for most of this rainy-old day since about 9:30 this morning.
I love all these games - especially Crazy Taxi and Shenmue.
It's a shame that my Shenmue CD1 is damaged, so i'll have to send the CD back though. :(
I can't put Crazy Taxi down though - love that game! :D
I hope you realise the greatness of Shenmue and search out the sequel, because you won't regret it.
>It is continued in Shenmue II, but CD 4 of Shenmue II is the biggest let down, especially after the fantastic CD3.

CD4 might have been a bit actionless, but I thought it was truly beautiful - amazing natural landscapes. And when Shenhua led Ryo to the field where the flower buds were blown all around I had a tear in my eye.... well, not quite, but you know what I mean.
Anyway, today I've blasted through area 5 on Rez (awesome) and played a couple of high-score time trials on JSR.
I've also played JSRF on Xbox, but I'm not supposed to mention that. :)
Love this game! :)
In 10 minutes I managed to earn around $4,500,000 and got an A ranking.
Still, I can finnish no higher than 21st when playing by the Arcade rules.
I also need to work on my turning of corner in MSR.
I keep on losing WAY too many Kudos by smacking into the sides! :S
Arcade City: $63,000
Original City: $88,000
Can't wait for CT3.
Getting hold of the works cars in Licence mode is particularly difficult, so that's a challenge for later, I've started with a secondhand Beat car and found that by doing the easy sponsored races at the start (MacDonalds, Excite and Penzoil), you get extra bonus money from them everytime you win a race thereafter, which makes gaining more cars much easier than in the Gran Turismo series.
I also had a bash on Urban Chaos, which has to be the most glitchy game ever produced on the Dreamcast. The slowdown is so bad that it makes the game unplayable. I'll configure the controller next time I try it, because trying to pull off a triplekick combo using a trigger button is practically impossible.
I've got an itching now to play Speed Devils, possibly the most 'fun' racer in ages, the music itself makes the game worth playing, because it fits the mood perfectly for each track. Again this game suffers from the odd bug (some of the challenges are flawed, for example you bet an opponent that you can beat him in a particular race, but on a reverse track it tells you you've failed as soon as you've started, very annoying). Or maybe I just read the bet wrong, but I don't think so.
Other gaming goodness on the DC that I've got to get around to playing again includes Skies of Arcadia, Grandia 2, Ready 2 Rumble (funny game, makes me laugh), and of course the mighty Sega Bass Fishing, the thinking vegetable's alternative to golfing games.
And the funny thing is, you can't tell if you're playing on a DC or a PS2 after a while, because the graphics still look great on both consoles.
And I got to see the end of game Credits. Nice.
And I did it with Gus - the black guy and the woman are my best drivers.
AND I did it on Normal Mode - which I consider to be harder than Arcade!?
Still, I usually do a lot better on Normal Mode with the Arcade Rules than in the Arcade Mode itself... Odd.
Still love this game though. :)
And on MSR I unlocked some more stuff, but still need loads more Kudos to get the next Car in the Training Races.
God this game is HUGE!!
I've also now done most of the Crazy Box games, and I think there are only 3 of the unlocked ones and 3 others I have left to do.
There's one that's imopossible - you pick them up and there's no green arrows or nothing!!
Can someone quickly tell me how you get that Bike to ride instead of a Taxi?? I think it's by doing all the challenges but i'm not sure.
