I’ll throw in Ikaruga (import), Soul Calibur, and Bangi-O. All great games.

I loved Dreamcast!!!

Games you should get:

Jet Grind Radio ( loved this game and some parts are a real challenge )

Virtua Tennis ( one of the best sports games ever!!!)

Sonic Adventure ( call me crazy but I liked it )

Power Stones but you already are getting it

( I would say Resident Evil: Code veronica but they released it on ps2 with extra stuff )

Games to avoid, Shenmue, unless you like driving a forklift and feeding stray cats.

Shenmue was very good, try it out and I’m suew you will like it. Also, Phantasy Star was great.

I’m not sure that magic can be recaptured. It had one of the best launch titles in console history – Soul Calibur.

Then it had some classics in Crazy Taxi, Jet Grind Radio, Shenmue, Space Channel 5, Phantasy Star Online, Seaman, and Skies of Arcadia.

But coming to it fresh, outside its historical context… I don’t think it’s likely to make an impact.

Definitely Skies of Arcadia, Virtua Tennis, Jet Grind Radio, and for the hell of it check out NFL 2K1. I’ve always loved PSO however you’ll no longer be able to play online and the offline is weak.

Thanks for the suggestions so far.

I’ve heard both extremes about Shenmue from friends of mine. It is definitely on my list.

I don’t think the fact that I wasn’t around for the launch will hurt me. I literally have no Dreamcast experience, so this is like a launch for me. I don’t need to experience the hype, I just need some fun games.

Shenmue is like Heavy Rain. It’s a game you need to experience just so you know what everyones talking about. Both games have those who love them and those who hate them. Both took risks and it’s up to you to see if they are something you enjoy.

I still have my dreamcast. I think I just played Tony Hawk 2 on it though. Can’t remember any standout titles, other than how much I despised Shenmue.

I loved the dreamcast…I recently bought…
