+davidcalgary29 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I've just received my first Dreamcast system (thank you, RasterScan!), and just love it, which is something of a surprise to me, as I've never really taken to any of Sega's other released systems. In any case, I'd like to expand my small library of games, which essentially consists of Soul Calibur, Shenmue I, and a few Resident Evil titles. Any recommendations or picks? I seem to recall (vaguely) hearing about one game set in northern Canada, which would be perfect for me, but can't remember the name. Anyone?

I've enjoyed Star Lancer, Little Green Army Men, and then from there I played with a SNES and Intellivision emulator, a fwew racing games with a steering wheel controller I picked up, and the rest of the time I've been IRc chatting with it. Fun and capible system. If you missed the other Sega systems, no major loss... Dreamcast is the must see though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdub_bobby Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 (edited) I'd recommend Alien Front Online and Crazy Taxi. Also, the Tony Hawk games are good, if you don't have them already for another system. Almost forgot: the NFL 2Kx, NBA 2Kx games are very good as well.

A Sprite Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 (edited) Skies of Arcadia - cliche' in every way, but knows it, and doesn't care. The heroes are great company - the kind of people who'd rather pick people up when they fall than cut themselves when they're down. Only a slightly high enemy encounter rate keeps this one from the Hall of Fame. Edited July 12, 2007 by A Sprite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nintendo Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Jet Set Radio is a fun game. You can create your own graffitt or download it from your PC and use it in the game. I also like Typing of the Dead, and Headhunter and Shenmue 2 (European releases). Power Stone games are pretty fun too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oesii Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Crazy Taxi 2, Virtua Tennis 2K, and Toy Commander are all fun easy to pick up arcade-like games for the DC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jboypacman Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Daytona USA,Crazy Taxi,Crazy Taxi 2,House of the Dead 2,Marvel VS Capcom 2,Capcom VS SNK 2,TechRomancer,Power Stone, Power Stone 2,Last Blade2, Mark of the Wolves,and Dynmite Cop 2.These are some of my top picks. The Dreamcast really had some good fighting and arcade style games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2600Lives Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Both Marvel Vs. Capcom are must haves. Omikron is a surprisingly good game that got little attention. It was one of the first games that I know of that played like a single player MMO. Everybody gives it a hard time, but I really liked the Dragon Riders of Pern game. Alone in the Dark - The New Nightmare, Illbleed, Phantasy Star Online (version 2), Record Of Lodoss War, Project Justice, both Sonic Adventure games, all stuff you need in the collection.

jboypacman Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I also kind of liked Carrier.It was the "Poor Man's Resident Evil" and was on a boat.Also Cannon Spike and Mars Maxtrix were good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jboypacman Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 (edited) Also lets not forget Giga Wing 1 and 2 and GunBird2. Man,the Dreamcast had some good stuff for it. Edited July 13, 2007 by jboypacman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev. Rob Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 (edited) This is my Dreamcast "must have" list (in no particular order): D2 Fighting Vipers 2 Seaman Draconus: Cult of the Wyrm Crazy Taxi Jet Grind Radio Rez Skies of Arcadia Grandia II Chu Chu Rocket! Dragon Riders: Chronicles of Pern San Francisco Rush 2049 Record of Lodoss War Dead or Alive 2 Super Magnetic Neo The Typing of the Dead Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram Virtua Tennis Sonic Adventure Sonic Adventure 2 Shenmue Soul Calibur Sword of the Berserk: Guts' Rage StarLancer Feel free to ask any questions about titles on this list, I'd be happy to eloborate.

Atari5200 Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Gunbird 2 is ok, i wouldn't say it's a must have, it's very short and repetative. Sword of the Berzerk is a good game, but there is A LOT of cut scenes, almost more scenes than actual action, so some may find it boring, I thought it was a decent game. Marvel vs. Capcom, definetly a must get. Code Veronica is also a must get, I also find MTV Skateboarding to be more enjoyable than the Tony Hawks. Speaking of Dreamcast, anybody have an extra, just the system, no cords or anything for sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeyserSoze61 Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 (edited) Few titles from the brink of obscurity, where I typically reside: Project Justice: Rival Schools is a criminally underrated 3D fighter. Bangai-O is a very anime inspired 2d shooter by Treasure, which I loved. Bleemcast Metal Gear Solid is cool, but you need a dedicated VMU to it (all 200 blocks, grr) Mars Matrix is an outstanding 2d vertical shooter, although the graphics are a little underwhelming Space Channel 5 is one ridiculously fun rythym game, a la Parappa the Rappa Also, play Grandia 2. Stunning RPG. And get acclimated with the dreamcast emulation and homebrew scene. Its phenomenal. The typical must plays are Soul Caliber, Marvel vs. Capcom, Jet Grind Radio, Crazi Taxi, Dead or Alive 2, Virtua Tennis 2k2, House of the Dead 2, and Ikaruga. I'm also partial to the ports of Rayman 2, Tony Hawk 2, and MDK 2. At any rate, enjoy the console. I've likely spent more time with it than any other system. In fact, I'm remarkably tempted to play it now. Edited July 13, 2007 by KeyserSoze61 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricDeLee Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Wetrix is a lot of fun. Very addicting. I've ALWAYS liked that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+davidcalgary29 Posted July 13, 2007 Author Share Posted July 13, 2007 Thanks for the suggestions, guys! I see that I have a lot of titles to acquire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsoper Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Yeah, it's hard to find losers in the DC library, do avoid Kao the Kangaroo, and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. I like short light-hearted games so Ooga Booga, Loony Tunes Space Race, and Wacky Races all get a spin at my house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2600Lives Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Yes, I agree that Carrier is good, pretty original in some aspects, too (like a special set of optics so you can tell who's infected and who's not). Honestly, though, if you want to play Code Veronica, get it on the GameCube. It's easily the best version, as it has better graphics than the PS2 version and has expanded content. Blue Stinger is also pretty fun...IF you can find a later release copy that fixed the fatal glitch from the earlier pressings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markimus of K. Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Rev. Rob, You listed Fighting Vipers 2. Is that something that wasn't released in NA? I didn't see it on the DC NA Checklist, the closest was Fighting Force 2. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeropolis79 Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Thanks for that - I've not long got a Dreamcast and am after software for it. I'm into Zelda type games - Skies of Arcadia seems a good game. Going to find Crazy Taxi - my daughter will love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's D-2. http://www.mobygames.com/game/d-2 Is this a light gun game? I don't have a light gun and can't tell. " On the original Japanese version you see how the monster after having entangled Kimberly, raises one of its tentacles to her face and in a scene lifted right out of Urotsukidöji, proceeds to rape her orally (and yes, she swallows, which is actually a key plot point). The english version pans the camera upwards when the tentacle aproaches her mouth and has a shorter overall duration, so you know what to do kids: Start learning Japanese!!!" Wow.... They sure know how to make those games in the Jap world! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
