what games to buy for dreamcast?

scrapsmac

Hi all! resurrected the dreamcast from our garage and it brought back so many memories. I've been playing Crazy Taxi 2 and forgot how good a console it really is. anyway these are the games I've got,

Shenmue II (the reason i bought it all those years ago)
Crazy Taxi 2
Quake 3
UEFA Dream Soccer
Phantasy Star Online
Sega GT


these are all the ones I can think of at the top of my head. I'm looking to buy a few more, any recommendations? is ebay my best bet for sourcing?

cheers!

As nice as it is to own them, some can get a bit expensive. You should look into burning games too. I won't go into it here as it's not allowed, but just FYI, most Dreamcasts have no copy protection. You can just download games and burn them to a disc.

That's as much as I can say on a public forum though

Also, really look into the Dreamcast shooter library. Some of them are absolutely amazing. The likes of Ikaruga, Border Down, Under Defeat and Rez.

cool! wouldn't mind picking up a few on ebay for collections sake. i wonder what could have been had the console come out at a different time. it really was unfortunate

You're better off with adverts.ie, I've seen some graat bundles of games on that. Ebay is too expensive after you factor in delivery, since the majority of DC games are worth next to nothing thanks to what Oisin mentioned (He told me about it just after I rebuilt my DC collection from scratch )

Ah but you got to add some, so I'm not quite that good a listmaker yet

I saw this and was too tired to make a list last night :P

Anyway you all fail for not including Grandia 2,

Landsleaving wins a date with me in my school girl outfit.

You's forgot Cannon Spike :P and Maken X is worth a play for the soundtrack and awesome art to experience FPS close combat that works (well I didn't play much but it seemed fun).

Soul Calibur, Crazy Taxi and Ikaruga ... no Dreamcast should be without them

I had a copy of grandia 2 for the DC in my hands a couple of days ago, decided not to buy it in the end though, was a bit pricy. Picked up the first grandia on the US psn last week though.
