    Default Best Games to get for the Dreamcast?

    Ok, I've had a dreamcast and noticed that games are getting scarce in my neck of the woods. I have figured out how to burn games (thank god!) so being that I want to build a libabry off of games that I can find and/or burn, what are some of the best out there?

    I have so far:
    Jet Grind
    Sonic Adventure
    The capcom fighting games (sf3, sfa3, mvc2, svc2000, ect)
    Shemue
    DOA2

    I know about the wrestling imports (Fire Pro & New Japan) I should look for but anything else that's really good?
    (No RPG's as I personnally never have time to play them and get into them)

    You have Jet Grind Radio, you need nothing more

    Ok well, if you could get the DC microphone then Seaman will provide you great gaming experience.

    You are missing the sequels to Sonic Adventure and Shenmue and I'd add Crazy Taxi 1 and 2, Blue Stinger, F355 (hard but cool racing game), Mr Driller, Power Stone 1 and 2, RE Code Veronica, Ikaruga, Soul Calibur, Space Channel 5 1 and 2, Virtua Tennis 2 and of course Metropolis Street Racing, a must have. This all based on my personal taste.
    You dont want RPGs, then I wont say Grandia 2 and Skies of Arcadia

    Eh, you're posting sensibly and behaving yourself as far as I can tell so you may as well ask him. At least you had the courtesy not to steam straight ahead and demand games from the word go, makes a nice change. You'd be surprised how many people we get who do that...

    No discussion on the Dreamcast can ever be complete without: Quake III: Arena, Power Stone & Power Stone 2, Rent-A-Hero No. 1, and Evolution.

    Why do I have a * in my name?

    Anyway,

    The Dreamcast is loaded with great games. For fighters, I recommend Dead or Alive 2, Soul Calibur, Virtua Fighter 3TB, Fighting Vipers, Soul Fighter... For Racing, you can't go wrong with the Tokyo Xtreme Racer series (which turned into Project Gotham on the Xbox), Daytona USA, Vanishing Point (excellent physics), the F1 series, the Test Drives, CART Racing... I know you said you didn't have time for RPG's, and honestly, neither do I, but Skies of Arcadia, the Evolutions, the Shenmues, and Silver are good ones that I can recall. If you can read Japanese, the Eldorado Gate 7 part series is biggest continuous RPG on the Dreamcast Adventure/Platform games are what I like, so I always recommend Rayman 2: The Great Escape, Super Mgnetic Neo, the Sonics, Ms. Pacman Maze Madness... First Person Shooters that are good are Quake II Arena, Unreal Tournament, and with the lightgun, House of the Dead, Confidential Mission, and Virtua Cop. The Dreamcast has some really good Shoot-em-ups in Ikaruga, Prismaticallization, Psyvariar 2: The Will to Fabricate, and Trizeal. Seaman is an oddity along with Seventh Cross; Evolution. You raise pseudo-animals to maturity...strange games they are

    The Space Channel 5 games are pretty good too, if you like rhythm games, and I have spent countless hours just building roller coasters in Coaster Works

    There's hundreds of others that I could recommend, but I'll stop talking now
