Sorry for the messy pic, I'm running out of room in this place.
I've wanted a Dreamcast since I was a kid since I was addicted to that sonic adventure game they had on demo in all the Toys R Us'. I finally managed to grab one for pretty cheap, with only one problem: The only games i have for it right now are Virtua tennis and Tony hawk pro skater :facepalm:.
I also saw on eBay these CD's that supposedly allow your Dreamcast to play imported games. Are there any import DC games worth buying this for?
My current to-buy list is, as of now:
Skies of arcadia
Dino crisis
Seaman (this looks totally fucked up)
Time stalkers
Sonic adventures 2
Star wars episode 1 racer
Vigilate 8 2nd offense
Resident evil 3
Demolition racer: no exit
Shenmue
Jet Set Radio.
-Jet Grind Radio should top the list along with Skies of Arcadia. EDIT: Jet Set Radio is the same game, it was named differently in different regions.
-Resident Evil: Code Veronica if you're into the Resident Evil games with the Pre-RE4 control scheme.
-Crazy Taxi 1 was always fun
-Hydro Thunder if you want a fun racing game, but beware of massive slowdown for splitscreen.
-Shenmue was always the game heralded as showing off what the Dreamcast can really do as a system. It was also pretty much the first game that brought quick-time events to 3D action games, which God of War then popularized later. I'd definitely recommend giving it a go.
Those were some of my personal favorites.
A lot of the other games I have were multiplayer games that aren't as worth getting nowadays, such as Gauntlet Legends, King of Fighters '98, stuff like that. Soul Calibur still holds up pretty well but its not like you couldn't just go get SoulCalibur IV for your PS3 for a rather cheap price.
I got one of these a few years a go too, really great console. Also, Sonic Adventure isn't exclusive to the Dreamcast, I actually got Sonic Adventure the same way you did with a demo at a store for Gamecube.
Here's some games I remember liking for it:
Jet Set Radio
Crazy Taxi
Skies of Arcadia
Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future
I'll add more next time I can go through my games.
Going to have to go with Sonic Adventure, Power Stone (1 and 2), Jet Grind Radio, Shenmue, and San Francisco Rush 2049. Those are the only ones I can remember off the top of my head. But Virtua tennis was pretty fun for a while too.
Marvel Vs Capcom 2
Cannon Spike
Ikaruga
Sea Man. Best game ever developed. I think you need a microphone add on though.
Awesome guys, thanks a bunch!
Also: virtua tennis is actually fun what the fuck. The super intense rock music probably helps
already been mentioned a couple of times in this thread but Jet Grind Radio oh and Power Stone
"buying games" you say. You do realize the dreamcast has the worst copy protection of any system and can play roms burned to CDs right? Its ridiculous how they didnt even try to stop piracy. I think playing a burned Skies of Arcadia fucks up your lens though so buy that one.
Well, my bias will show in a bit here but I recommend
Tech Romancer:
And Virtual ON: Oratorio Tangram
Tech romancer looks fun! Today I picked up RE3 nemesis and The ring for 10$ ( god damn the ring is such a bad game).
Also ordered Demolition Racer: no exit and the japanese version of Dino crisis. Those should be fun!

:this:
so download everything.
Great so skies of arcadia is like one of the most expensive on ebay too :facepalm:
But yeah guys, I like to own real copies of games when possible. I just made myself a Utopia boot disc so I can boot imported games now! Lots of japanese games on the DC... Hmm.

oh yes yes yes yes yes eys eys esyesyeslfk YES
I believe the Dreamcast managed to do the best hybrid of arcade feel in a home console. SEGA made a masterpiece.
