Skies of Arcadia, Grandia 2 and Jet Set Radio.  Just saying those makes me yearn to plug in my DC!

There was an RC racer called "Re-Volt".  Unforgiving as hell, but damn I had a lot of fun with that game.  Racing around the grocery store was the bomb.

Re-Volt was great. The handling of the rc cars was very good, with oversteer and lots of skidding around if you're not careful. Especially in the freezer in the grocery store. The museum level looked gorgeous with the reflections in the marble floors. I can still hear the sound in my head of driving over the xylophone in the kids room level.

4 player splitscreen with all the different weapons was great fun. Please do a proper xbl/psn version of this game instead of the lazy port of crazy taxi.

Somebody recommended Dynamite Cop. That person is not your friend. Try Zombie Revenge instead.  In fact, look at my Dreamcast collection and get everything I rated 8/10 or higher.

Problem with getting a DC now is that all of the good games got ported to the PS2, Gamecube, PSP, or Xbox.  You have the best console on the market from 1999- Nov. 2001......but you're in for some serious disappointment in 2010.  Games I recommend and feel are still worth owning a DC for:

  • Jet Grind Radio
  • RE:  Code Veronica
  • Grandia 2
  • Virtua Tennis
  • Shenmue (for historical purposes--it's not too impressive anymore)
  • Zombie Revenge
  • Metropolis Street Racer
  • Ecco the frustratingly hard Dolphin
  • Seaman (for historical purposes)
  • Any 2D fighters
  • Outtrigger (if you have friend to play with)
  • Spider-Man
  • Quake 3 Arena
  • Crazy Taxi (the way it was meant to be played)

You're a little late to the party...

That's not really helpful, now is it?

Actually it is. You lost the cake.

Above: the tasty dreamcast cake Xen lost for being late. And that rhimes.

lmao. Great post.

 

If you have a proper HDTV, be sure to pick up a VGA cable for your sexy Dreamcast. Make your DC feel pimp!

It's kinda the reason I made this whole thread... I really have to scrape by these days, much unlike other SEGA consoles... however, I think I'm getting my money's worth here!

@Snesboy: totally - it HAS to look nice!

Some of the best memories I ever had with a console came from the Dreamcast.  I hope it brings you joy, too.  Good luck finding some of the better games, though.

I prowled around ebay and it is pretty plentiful, along with reasonable prices. Bought a Genesis yesterday, too!
