Wow you got so many similar series that I played except for Doom, Quake, Tony Hawk, Monkey crap
Must agree Shenmue series is awesome and it's a shame not many people even know it. When I first saw it on Internet back in '99 I couldn't believe it was possible to make that sort of graphic and game play, it was pretty much the pinnacle of video games back then. I also spent gazillion hours on Phantasy Star Online DC just for chatting and mucking around with the chat bubble animations (remember those guys that made weeds and bj animation? those cracked me up all the time ) The hackzors pretty much ruined the game. Man Dreamcast was a perfect console, the only one that let you play online globally. I think Saturn also had dial up modem but only available in Japan.
