So after that scam a little while back with the Dreamcast website it reminded me I had one haha, but I did not have a controller. So I went on Amazon and bought one, and if arrived today. I must say I forgot how much fun Shenmue was. So I have been playing that all today. Anyone else have one and still play it? If so what games? Even if you don't have one still, what games did you really like?

I still have mine... I still play Shenmue, it makes me so very sad that the Dreamcast died and so did this franchise (although I did have hope it would live on for the XBOX but it just wasn't to be )...

I also still play Chu Chu Rocket... I can't believe Sega gave this away for free it's just so awesome...

Ready 2 Rumble: Round 2... Fight Night is good but no-one is as cool as Afro Thunder...

Lol... my mom's account has over 400 transactions (buying and selling) that have never resulted in an issue big enough to leave or receive a bad feedback report

I think that there's really nothing to worry about AlanC.

Virtuatennis or tennis 2k2, two of the best tennis games I've ever played. Both play pretty similarly. I liked tennis 2k2 better, but my brother liked virtua tennis. With both, you can use the fishing controller, kinda like a wii mote

Then there's soul caliber, street fighter 3, and my all time favorite game ever, rush 2049

And check out grandia 2 for some fun rpg play


Hurray for teh logd!

I bought a Dreamcast and 100 games from a friend at work 5 years ago--- I should really hook it up to my TV

The Powerstone series was fun, and so was Headhunter.

I've got quite a little collection of Dreamcast games, along with the regular controllers and the lightgun and fishing rod attachements. Got to say that (besides the Sonic games) one of my favorite games is Marvel V Capcom 2.

Coincidentally I've been playing my Dreamcast the past couple of days. Sonic Adventure 1/2, Sega Rally 2, Red Dog, and roms in an emulator. Good times.

Ah, the Dreamcast. I still try to play mine on a regular basis, despite it breaking down several times over the years. The best games are:
Rush 2049- MP kicks ass. My friends think I'm crazy for making them play it, but do we have a blast!
Sonic Adventure- Painfully underrated and memorable. That mysterious island is on my mind even today.
Shenmue- A classic, in every sense. I never played it at first, just watched my dad. That all changed when I splashed 20 quid on a new disk.
Fur Fighters- Inspiration for my FPS game and so quirky and charming you wanna cry, but can't because you're too busy laughing at the dumb bears in suits. PS2 remake is just as good.
Power Stone- Just fun. And original. And party-friendly. Never played the singleplayer. Didn't need to.
Worms world party- Fun to watch and een better to play. Later iterations may overshadow it, but it's still a relic.
Chu Chu Rocket- Always making custom puzzles. Always knowing exactly how to beat them. And the big cats were awesome.

Also, there's Jet Set Radio, Parappa the Rappa, Space Channel 5, Quake 3 Arena and anything else I've forgotten.

Did you find this comprehensive guide useful? (Y/N)

Unreal Tournament is great for the Dreamcast, used to play a lot of 3v3 against bots which is enormous fun. Quake3 is also pretty good, damn nice GFX too.

Jet Grind Radio is an amazing game as well, really challenging and cool, it has it's own style and will surely be remembered as a classic.


less is more, but if less is more how you keeping score?

Did I forget Soul Caliber? Next to Tekken 3, that's the best (and my most played) fighting game. I wanna get the 4th one, but I'll always pop the first one in whenever I can.

Jet Set Radio is by far the best game for that system, (in my book)
I loved it so much! There is also Jet Set Radio: Future for the
XBOX, which I think beat it's original.

You can buy JSRF for like $3-$10 on Ebay.

Warning! Only the original stand alone version is backwards
compatible with the 360. The verison that includes Sega Rally...
does not work.

Luckily, I have both versions.

You guys should play both JSR games if you can!

Well I just got Skies of Arcadia and I must say they made a bad move with the first boss, it's special attack can straight up kill one member of my team with one hit and take half health away from the main guy...why would anyone make a first boss so powerful?
