List of Dreamcast network games

This is a list of Dreamcast games that were or are online for Sega's 33k modem, 56k modem, and broadband adapter (BBA). Most games were hosted by SegaNet and GameSpy networks in the United States. The European online service was called Dreamarena and ran in a partnership between Sega Europe and BT. In Japan, the service was managed by Isao.Net.
Sega ceased supporting their servers for online gameplay in 2002. Despite this, now in 2012, 7 Dreamcast games are still online and continue to be played by gamers. These games are: 4x4 Evolution, Doom (unofficially ported to Dreamcast), Maximum Pool, Phantasy Star Online, Quake III Arena, Sega Swirl and Starlancer.
Most of the games offering online capabilities also included a web browser, which was upgraded frequently on GD-ROM and also came with the console. Initially these early browsers were set to connect directly via Sega's official dialup service, but they later released a version that could dialup through any third party ISP by allowing you to input a custom phone number. Communication computability itself is dependent on the type of game or browser, for instance some games only used Microphone chat while others Keyboard or Keyboard and mouse chat to avoid the defunct controller method. They can still be used to surf the Internet if the console is configured correctly, and if one knows how, it's possible to connect a Dreamcast to a PC and share its broadband connection (see references).
