Just bought a Dreamcast

[The White Hunter]

...where did you get a Dreamcast? I've been looking for one for a couple months now and I refuse to use Amazon or Ebay because I don't want something that isn't actually a Dreamcast. (by that I mean that I distrust them since the Dreamcast is rather old, so I assume they'd send me something that emulates a Dreamcast)

I got a legit dreamcast off ebay, honestly they're pretty hard to find in stores these days I've only ever seen one in a shop window.

Um, Resident Evil games, SA and SA2, Power Stone, ChuChu Rocket, Wacky Races is pretty good too.

There's some I'm after still but can't be bothered hunting

 

[RheynbowDash]

Skies of Arcadia
Jet Set Radio
Power Stone
Project Justice (good luck with that one LOL)
Zombie Revenge
Sonic Adventure
Crazy Taxi
Dead or Alive 2
Super Runabout
Capcom vs SNK

If you can hunt it down, I still get out Looney Tunes Space Race at get-togethers every once in awhile. Fairly Mario-Kart-ish, but still a TON of fun.

No love for Seaman? It's your very own Gilbert Godfrey pet simulator!

I got a dreamcast of my own about 5 years ago. I found it, two controllers, a memory card and 4 games in the dumpster at my apartment when I was throwing away the kitchen trash.

I looked at it, decided "what the heck its all in a plastic bag" took it home and hooked it up with some old universal wires I had... and yup. It worked. Still have it hooked up to play to this day

 

[Silvianoshei]

Soul Calibur
Crazy Taxi
ChuChu Rocket
Jet Set Radio (I still roll hard with this)

No one mentioned Quake III Arena or Unreal Tournament? Those were some of my favorite times on the Dreamcast, playing local splitscreen whlist fleeing from my brother's BFG yelling "NOOOOOOO..."

Grandia II was a good one, though I believe it was on the PS2 as well though, albeit not a great port.

 

[jpenning]

Omikron:the nomad soul

 

[Strain42]

Maken X

That was a pretty fun yet messed up game. If I had a dreamcast that would be the first one I pick up ^^

 

[INVALIDUSERNAME]

Like everyone else has said, but to reiterate, the best ones worth getting hands down:

Sonic Adventure
Sonic Adventure 2
Power Stone
Crazy Taxi

 

[Shoggoth2588]

I remember the Dreamcast...plan on getting one myself too before too long. Anyway, you wanna know what games you need so...

BIG-BLANKET STATEMENT: Capcom Fighters. Street Fighter Alpha 3, Marvel vs Capcom 2, Power Stone...Capcom basically dominated the Dreamcast with its fighting games. You can't really go wrong with any of them.

Crazy Taxi
Gauntlet Legend
Jet Set Radio
Resident Evil: Code Veronica
Skies of Arcadia
Spawn: In the Demon's Hand
Sonic Adventure
Sonic Adventure 2
Soul Caliber
Typing of the Dead (or just House of the Dead 2 if you can't find a keyboard)

I know there are more but that should keep you occupied. Seriously though, Capcom Fighters. All of them. Ever (on the Dreamcast). I don't know if it's Capcom or not but Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is also worth mentioning. That and Sword of the Berserk but only if you're a fan of those anime series respectively.

 

[Corrigan86]

Oh man, I had so much fun with Crazy Taxi 1 & 2. Definitely a +1 for them!

 

[SodaDew]

Tokyo Extreme Racer 2 (or the Japanese version which is even better, Shutoku Battle 2)
Project Justice (a 3d fighting game)
Crazy Taxi
Jet Grind Radio
Ikaruga
Soul Caliber

 

[Bara_no_Hime]

Grandia II
Skies of Arcadia
Soul Caliber
Sonic Adventure
and the Power Stone games.

I love my Dreamcast. Too bad it's broken. **sigh** I'd really like to play Skies of Arcadia again....

 

[ScrabbitRabbit]

There were some great 2D fighters on the system. Street Fighter 3 is definitely worth getting yer mits on. Amazing game.

 

[Hollyday]

Skies of Arcadia

Yes, yes a thousand times yes


God I loved that game

Do you live in the UK? I got it from a CEX store, along with the games for the grand total of... £5. Oh the joys of having a sibling working in retail
