[Servers]

Dreamcast-Talk provides game servers for playing Planet Ring, Phantasy Star Online, Quake III Arena, Maximum Pool, and 4x4 Evolution online on your Dreamcast. For more information see below.

In addition to the 5 games which we host servers for, StarLancer can also still be played online through its official master server. The game itself is peer-to-peer.

Quake III Arena

CONNECTION TYPE: Dial-up modem & BBA

With Quake III Arena there is no shortage of quality DC servers to play on but we wish to provide you with more for your variety. Often servers go down and that is when we hope to be there for you.

In addition to providing game servers for Quake 3 we also have been hosting a master list server ever since the official one has gone down. If you would like to broadcast your Dreamcast Quake 3 server to our master list simply add set sv_master2 "dctalk.no-ip.info" to your configuration file.

For Quake III Arena we currently host a Capture the Flag and Free for All Death match game play types.
