We’ve all seen those lists floating around the internet that count down the greatest Dreamcast games (we’ve even got a few of our own!), but what were the titles that truly captured the attention of Dreamcast owners back in the day? Andrew, Tom, Kev, and Lewis dive into three sets of sales charts —from the UK, North America, and Japan— to find out which Dreamcast games consumers were spending their hard-earned cash on at the turn of the millennium.

Also listen past the outro music to enjoy a bloopers reel of what will go down amongst the DreamPod team as one of the most cursed episodes for technical issues.
