I voted Shenmue on Dreamcast, and all the Dreamcast "sequals" Shenmue 2 and Jet Set Radio Future on Xbox.

Also, voted Half-Life 2 and Geometry wars and FLOW on Windows.

Picked Nights on Saturn also. I wonder why they separated the Dreamcast from the other 6th generation consoles? I guess it has to do with the vast amount of PS1 and N64 ports on the system and the fact that it came out just before the new millennium.

Yeah its kind of in the middle, it technically is in the same generation as the PS2, Xbox, and GameCube, but Sega cut support before the Xbox and GameCube even got released. Ask most non retro gamers that were mainly in that generation, "What are the consoles in the Generation that the Xbox and GameCube were in?" and they most likely won't mention Dreamcast if they haven't played it and aren't retro-ish gamers.

EDIT:

I just fixed a typo that made what I said not make any sense at all.
