You can go on sites like www.atariage.com or www.songbird-productions.com and find homebrewed games for various Atari systems, unfinished games, and finished/nearly finished games that didn't get released back when their systems were active. So I wouldn't be suprised to find that the Dreamcast has something similar. The Dreamcast seemed to always have a dedicated following.

These are totally original games, by third party developers. Sega itself only stoped publishing games for the DC in Japan in 2004. There is still a huge market for japanese DC owners, specially for 2d space shooters like Ikaruga. While on the US the DC completely died in 2002, it had a small following in Japan, up to this day.
