Type: NTSC-U/C
Personally, I really enjoy the King of Fighters games, but seeing as how they're usually $50-$60 to import, save your money if you really want 'em.

I can't argue with DC Magic's list, but I am totally mesmerized by the trance worlds of Rez. Get this one if you want a true masterpiece in your collection. It runs about, ah, $40-$50. And the newer PAL versions have difficulties running on NTSC systems.

Finally, one of my favorite Dreamcast fighting games, Last Blade 2, is an excellent Samurai Shodown-esque fighting game. The game has good play mechanics and you can't go wrong with it for $20. Be advised: The US version is censored (white 'milk' blood) and the taunts are in SNKgrish.

Space Channel 5 is OK. Not the high point in UGA's carrer (see REZ), but it's a decent PaRappa-like game. This'll set you back $5.

Dynamite Cop is an ode to the old-skool beat'em'up. It seems like you either love or hate this title. Anyway, an neat game for the $7 or so you'll pay.

If you really want something truly 'out there', check out Seventh Cross: Evolution. The Dreamcast has no shortage of offbeat games, and this has got to be one of the most bizzare premises. You start off as a little organism, and you have to work your way up the food chain by killing other animals and absorbing their likeness. The first few hours of the game can be fustrating (especially with those bastard crabs!), but stick with it. I got my copy for $15. WARNING: You will probably need a new VMU for this game. It takes up 170+ blocks and the upgrading system could only be described as convoluted at best.

EDIT: Oh man! Did I forget to include one of the shining moments in Dreamcast gaming? Headhunter. Think MGS2, but without the awkward story or highly detestable main character. Everything about this game echoes 'Sega Classic'. From the first boss battle, to unlocking all the weapons despensers at the LELIA offices, it clicks in the same way Rez does. Good musical score by Richard Jaques? Check. Likable characters, even if they're a bit cliched? Check. The gameplay itself is a mix of MGS with Resident Evil puzzle solving. The motorcycle bits alone are better than most stand-alone racing games out there. If you get one Dreamcast game, make it this one. Goes for about $35-$40 new. This is a PAL game, so you'll need a boot disc.

I'll think of more later.

Ok good you did play the first Shenmue thats good I was thinking you were jumping right to the second. For PSO get the import from UK (this is a good Ebay seller that sells versions 1 and 2 all the time http://www.stores.ebay.co.uk/simplesimon1966classicvideogames/plistings/list/all/dept7/index.html?di r=-1&col=2&sotimedisplay=2 ) and thats what I was talking about so im not dumb. Crying or Very sad Very Happy Ok I missed the DOA 2 thing but a list is much easier to read, House is great ever played Point Blank? I have the PS one gun and PB3! Ecco does look insane and is fun but has some boring (really just hard) parts but its really based on you some like it others think its a tad boring but most love it, Samba De Amigo is a great game and good for parties too you use Maracas to dance to the music ... the official Sega made ones were only released a limited number in the US (if you do want them hit up Ebay)and the Japanese ones can be found at some importers but those are rare too even thought they got a full release in Japan, but you can buy 3rd party ones ... I made a topic on it awhile ago so search the boards for Samba and find that.

Make sure you can get a refund on Rez or you have a PAL Dreamcast if Rez won't play on your NTSC DC. Headhunter should have no problem running on an NTSC system with a boot disc. Otherwise, go ahead and get em all dude. Very Happy Remember that Last Blade 2 is a Neo-Geo game, so it isn't as eye-pleasing as Soul Calibur, but the animation and character designs are great.

Have fun. Smile

whoa, 2kool4skool, you live in Louisville too!? awesome! pm me and tell me where you live in Louisville. Im in the dirty south end, lol. i have alot of those games you want to buy and ill tell you, they are very good. ecpecially good is head hunter and rez. rez is an odd one but youll have fun playing it.i dont know where your going to get any of those though (i got mine off the net) but if you want to go somewhere your best bet would be the ebgames on hurstborne lane. call them and see if they have any Dreamcast games. last time i went there they did, but that was a while ago. now im going to throw a game in the mix that hasnt been mentioned yet and its actually one that most people dont like, but ill tell you so you can check it out for yourself. Virtua Fighter 3tb. now dont every body start yelling at me, i happen to LOVE this game. more so than even the mighty soul calibur. but i do think its a love it or hate it game so i suggest playing before you buy. but i had virtua fighter 4 on the ps2 and i worshiped that game, but when i got rid of my ps2 i had a need for some vf action and yes vf 3 filled the need very well. i think its every bit as good as vf 4. so check it out, and definately pm me because maybe we live kinda close. although Louisville is pretty huge you never know.
