Finally got a DC, any game suggestions?

aria · Aug 2, 2001

Wading through the questionable storefronts in east/downtown LA, perusing through stacks of unsold Genesis, Lynx, and Pikachu N64ers, I finally picked up a Dreamcast, 2 games, and 2 controllers for $75 (next, Capcom vs. SNK from Game Dude, $16...).

My question to the peanut gallery is,
What other good games are there?

TOOL · Aug 2, 2001

Grandia 2,Resident Evil:Code Veronica,Sonic Adventure,Soul Calabur,Jet Grind Radio.

RaGuS · Aug 3, 2001

I can burn you a few copies of UT or ILLBLEED if you want?? I would suggest GUNBIRD2 Soul Calibur, PSO...no no never mind...and WSB 2k2 when it comes out <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

GET MARS MATRIX GREAT GAME!

marvelguy68 · Aug 3, 2001

hey, download the vcd player of the previously mentioned website and you can watch vcd movies on your dc!

RiotoftheBlood · Aug 3, 2001

If you're even moderatly into survival horror, pick up RE:CV. Very impressive.
I would also try out SA2.

Lord Akidadus · Aug 3, 2001

If you like RPG's

Grandia 2
Skies of Arcadia

If you like Shooters

Gunbird 2
Giga Wing 2 (try to get the import)
Mars Matrix

Gun Games

House of the Dead 2
Confidential Mission

Sports

Virtua Tennis (A must for $20) One of my favorite games.

The DC kicks ass. Much better then any of the "newer" systems out there. Long live SEGA!!!

samuraiX · Aug 3, 2001

The Best Buys out by me have Jet Grind Radio for $10, go buy it now! ^-^

Liquid Snake · Aug 3, 2001

Sakura War 1-3

aria · Aug 3, 2001

Thanks for the recommendations, I'm going to see what I can get for a reasonable price (and now I have a future shopping list). The only game I'm adding to my must have that wasn't mentioned above is space channel 5.

Neo Bomber Man · Aug 3, 2001

What about Cannon Spike? Didn't that come to Dreamcast? Damn fine game; play it in the arcade all the time.

And, Sonic Adventure 2. Those are amazing titles. Keep in mind Twinkle Star Sprites also came to the Japanese DC.

Liquid Snake · Aug 3, 2001

Cannon Spike is a good game, unfortunately length of gameplay is too short

Worth to get it though....

RiotoftheBlood · Aug 3, 2001

I have Cannon Spike... it's a good arcade-style game, but not very deep at all. At least the characters have unique endings. I would try this one before buying, if at all possible.

Those are all awesome games, Rush 2049 is some of the best 4 player gaming on the system, if you like car combat. Much better than Twisted Metal (any version) as far as multiplayer goes, but kind of lacking if you're playing solo (just racing).

TonK · Aug 4, 2001

Nick, when the hell did you play Mars Matrix?

RaGuS · Aug 4, 2001

FuncoLand in boardman it was on display

Finally got a DC, any game suggestions?
