Dreamcast Games

[JD50]

So I just got a Dreamcast and I'm looking for some games, what can you guys recommend? I've seen the normal Top 10 lists, so I know about Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Jet Grind Radio, etc... Are there any hidden gems out there?

I liked Trickstyle. RE code veronica. NFL 2k1, Sonic Adventure, Vanishing point, Crazy Taxi, Capcom vs SNK..or maybe it was Marvel, can't remember. Ecco was ok as well. That's all I can remember for now.

 

[ImpulsE69]

Shenmues, Seaman, Skies of Arcadia, Code Veronica, Powerstone 1 & 2, D2

And if you want a bizaare difficult game: Illbleed.

There was also a space shooterish mech game that was fun, but I can't remember what it was...

and some hack n slash game that was fun: Sword of the Berserk

 

[Sonikku]

Sooooooooooooul caliburrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Dreamcast had the best ports of 2D fighting games up until the 360 and PS3 days. Street Fighter 3, Marvel vs Capcom etc.

Sea Man

I know Dreamcast has some of the best fighting games, but they've just never been my thing. I grabbed Aerowings, Airforce Delta, Virtua Tennis, and Shenmue on ebay. All for pretty cheap. I'll grab Skies of Arcadia and Grandia 2 once I'm done with Lunar (on PS1) or if I find a good deal.

Depends on what kinds of games you like. Dreamcast has a TON of great games.

Racing - Daytona, Sega GT, Sega Rally, MSR, Le Mans
Sports - Virtua Tennis, MLB 2K are best, but NFL2K is good too
Fighting - Take your pick...Soul Calibur, Virtual Fighter, Dead or Alive 2
Oddball - Samba de Amigo, Seaman, Typing of the Dead, Ooga Booga,

Tons of RPGs. I'm not an RPG fan, but i loved Grandia.

Good list here:

Under Defeat is awesome, you will have to Torrent it.

Powerstone

 

[nurturedhate]

Toy Commander all the way. One of the best group games that I have ever played.

Shenmues, Seaman, Skies of Arcadia, Code Veronica, Powerstone 1 & 2, D2

I hated Illbleed, it was weird to say the very least.

Crazy Taxi 2 and Alone in the Dark the New Nightmare (no other version compares). For fighting games, i would actually recommend Psychic Force 2012 and project justice. then Dave mirra freestyle BMX (again, no other version compares) and Tony Hawk 1 (no other version compares) for extreme sports games.

Rayman 2 is a good idea.

Ecco the dolphin Defender of the Future (as someone else mentioned) is a good game.

Silent Scope is good, but once you beat it it doesnt have any replay value iirc.

Shenmue II, Rez, and Headhunter are excellent imports (in the order listed).

 

[HeXen]

I would recommend Shenmue 2 on Xbox. It has better shadows along with a few other things...if you have an original Xbox that is.

Trickstyle and Crazy Taxi were great fun.

I know Dreamcast has some of the best fighting games, but they've just never been my thing.

Back in 1999, Marvel vs Capcom on the Dreamcast was simply mind blowing.

I second Powerstone, super clean graphics.

Panzer Dragoon Saga
Albert Odyssey

...are not Dreamcast games. They are Saturn games. Wrong Sega console.

 

[Rakehellion]

Sonic Adventure was the last great Sonic game. Don't touch any of the ones after that.

Resident Evil: Code Veronica, Sword of the Berserk, Grandia 2

 

[Father Torque]

Looney Toons Space race is a very good cart style racer

Evil Twin

Fire Pro Wrestling D and Giant Gram 2000 if you are into wrestling games.

Tennis 2k2 is much better than Vitua Tennis .

Alien Front Online

 

[VashHT]

Bangai O was a really fun bullet hell kind of game, hard as hell but really entertaining.
Powerstone, Powerstone 2, soul calibur, MVC2 were awesome fighting games, I'd throw in Tech Romancer as another fun one.
Gundam side stories was a pretty fun game as well if you're into that.
If you can play with people then Chu Chu Rocket was a really fun game for four players, I wasted tons of hours playing that with friends.

Oops :awe:

 

[smackababy]

Sonic Adventure is probably the best non fighting game on DC. Shenmue was really good as well. Sega Bass Fishing was always a favorite of mine. Power Stone 2 was good.

 

[snickersnack]

The Dreamcast supposedly has the best version of Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver. It's a quality Zelda-like with monster-style vampires. Crystal Dynamics worked on this series before they took over Tomb Raider.

 

[Demoralized]

Soul Reaver was awesome on DC.
