It's been about 20 years ago, but I remember the Dreamcast version being about the same as the PC version.

However, I remember that the Dreamcast version didn't have an animated cloudy sky. And didn't have an option to set the clipping distance of the fog, so the fog was somewhat close, making Omikron look quite foggy.

I remember I couldn't manually drive the sliders around the city in the Dreamcast version, and the sliders could only be used like taxi cabs for getting to specific destinations.

Other than those things, I think the Dreamcast version was the same as the PC version.

I remember they didn't have the game use the analog stick when it really should have.

I've never owned a Dreamcast but I remember skimming through a Dreamcast LP of Omikron.

Yes, manual driving is gone. What I vividly remember is how the annoying "woaaaaaaaaaaaaah" sound effect whenever you interact with something is removed and the victory track after beating Astaroth has its beginning cut off.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the differences between the endings. I do remember that when I won the Dreamcast version, I felt the ending was too short and almost anticlimactic. But when I later won the PC version, it had a much more satisfying and cinematic ending.

I was only about 12 years old at the time but I played Omikron on my Sega Dreamcast and always remembered it being amazing. Though, when I search my memories, all I can remember is the strip club. XD

LOL!
I think I can understand that. At the time, probably no other video game had a place like that.

:robosmile:

The song's beginning is cut but the cutscene itself is there. I beg your pardon for the confusion. In fact they must have done a mighty fine job fitting almost everything into the Dreamcast version.

The controls for exploring and fighting are better, but the FPS parts are way worse. It's also got some issues with the framerate and the music doesn't loop properly in some areas (Hell the first city it doesn't get past the first like 10 seconds).

the Dreamcast controllers were not designed for FPS style games.... I understand there was an attempt to make a DC version of classic Half Life (which also flopped).... biggest problem was the analog joystick and the d-pad were on the SAME SIDE of the controller.. which made Omikron next to unplayable in shooter mode (never got past the first boss demon encounter thanks to that...)
was still good for JRPGs like "Skies of Arcadia" though...
