You can play it on Xbox too with Insignia and private servers that support that version of the game. I think there are private servers that support the Dreamcast version as well.

What dead game do you wish you could play again?
- Thread starter Baphomet

Please, Nintendo, bring back Dragalia Lost :(
(I'd also kill to be back playing the beta version of R.O.S.E. Online with all the busted rare item drop rates. That shit was so much fun.)

I remember Era having a MNC Xbox play session at one point. Sadly I missed it, but maybe someone can do another one?
Never knew about this. I'll try to join in on this. Thanks.
Easily Guild Wars 1. It was a huge part of my childhood and I played it on and off through university. Guild Wars 2 was a big disappointment for me. I would absolutely love a remake of GW1 but I doubt it would ever happen. I think the game is still somewhat alive and playable (haven't checked in in years), but nothing can really replicate how awesome it was when the outposts were all full, and there were a ton of active Guilds etc.
Although it doesn't quite fit the dead game criteria, I'm going to throw an honorable mention to Warzone before they made it worse with basically ever patch until it became whatever mess it is now. Those early days during the pandemic were unforgettable, the game was much simpler and to the point and just a blast to play with friends.

SMB40 with SMB3/SMW stages is my new dream battle royale lol.
Yea, at this point I'd even just take a port of the original and play it with bots. Its not the same highs, but its better than nothing
Guitar Hero Live
The Live portions are still playable as far as I know, but the GHTV was revolutionary and it was murdered. A tragedy.

This is definitely of interest to me! Thanks.
This was actually a thread idea I had a while back of trying to organise monthly events to get old games up and running again (mainly so I could play PGR) because (and someone can correct me if I am wrong) the infrustucture for PS3/360 era games is still there and we just need people playing the game at the same time.
If you decide to get some events going, I'd be down. I have MNC on both Xbox and Steam so I can play it on either. And it would be cool to go back to some old 360 games that are still up.
I also meant to organize a Battlefield Bad Company 1 & 2 Era event before the servers shut down, but I forgot :(
Fat Princess and Tribes Ascend.
This and even Starhawk please.
Yeah, I'd need to put more thought in to it but the loose idea was choose a game for the month and then set a time like 8pm Sundays for that month (figure thats the quietest day for folks) and the idea is you jump on at 8pm in your timezone and there should be people on, you can then also adjust for other timezones to try and join those folks. I dunno, just spitballing here 😆
Been on one of the bigger fan servers for 2 years now. No clique or weirdness fwiw.
How is that game dead?
It's a offline single player fps.
MAG. Battlefield is somewhat similar, but just different enough that it can't replace it. The second-to-second gameplay is pretty similar, but MAG had neat faction stuff and progressive rounds. I miss it :(
A build of that is floating around, though it may be a bit tricky to get it to work.

I got Chromehounds shortly before its shutdown was announced, thinking I'd be able to at least play it for a while before that happened. I barely got any time with it, because exams happened around then and I was super busy. The way people talk about it sounds amazing though, somehow even more so in context of modern online games.
Didn't expected someone would request this before me so I'm going to second this as well.
Reminder for fans of BF:Bad Company 2 that you can still play it online, on pc anyway.
Just google Project Rome.
I played some matches during the last few evenings and it's still as fun, good looking and fantastic sounding like we all remember it.
It's ( still ) a piece of art really.

Played this at E3 way back when and I loved it. Played a build of it on a modded Xbox like...2 months ago and it's so, so much rougher than I remember. Neat time capsule though.
Folks who are saying PSO...Ephinea is amazing if you want to play Blue Burst and you can link up most (maybe all) console versions to private servers if you wish. It's not official support of course, but you can get the online part of PSO up and running without a ton of hassle.
1 vs 100. I don't think I've ever played an online trivia game like it and I still have fond memories of having people over randomly to play it.
Crappy online and even cosmetics tbh. Rolling and being 20 feet away to teleport into someone's arms was a normal occurrence. I know they eventually nerfed it but the standing still to heal ability I know my friends dropped it because of how strong it was. I don't know what they ever did about the character models but having very skinny not loud skins was a significant advantage.
I think the game got figured out too quick and they couldn't respond in time.

I miss Knockout City, another game that could've had better online but eventually dwindled into nothingness just from lack of interest. They unfortunately burned their last bridge when they went to Epics online services and people needed a new account to keep playing.
Please bring back Super Mario Bros. 35! I was so damn addicted to this game. There was really nothing else like you and one other psychopath duking it out for several minutes after the other 33 players were KO'd while the enemy patterns get crazier and crazier as the timer gets tighter and tighter.
It had a multiplayer component, that's what I was referring to.
