Hey all this is my first post here :). I've just recently started retro gamer and its a great read. Anyway to get to the point its my birthday coming up and my mate got me a Dreamcast as well as Shenmue 1 and 2 , JSR, Sonic Adventure 1 and MSR. He did it to encourage me into collecting and was wondering if anyone here knew what 20 Dreamcast games are a must. I had one when I was at uni and I've lost most of the games unfortunately. I will pick up Skies of Arcadia and I just checked out a game called Armada which looks fun anyway any reply would be good thanks :D

Armada is US only (easy enough to play on a PAl dreamcast though, I presume you're from the UK as you called it JSR nor JGR ;)) and to be honest it's not really great. I too thought it would be amazing, but sadly not.

20 DC games that are a must though? I suppose everyones opinions will be different, but other than the ones youve already got, 20 of the most respected would be:

Le Mans
Soul Calibur
Sonic Adventure 2
Virtua Tennis 2
Rez
Outtrigger
Quake 3 Arena
Samba de Amigo
Crazy Taxi
House of the Dead 2
Marvel vs Capcom 2
Power Stone (and 2)
Resident Evil Code Veronica
Space Channel 5
Any of the 3 Street Fighters
F355 Challenge
Fur Fighters
Dead or Alive 2
Confidential Mission

Thanks for the list :D will work on trying to getting the majority of those. Except maybe the racing ones I'll replace those with Bass Fishing :D

Wow! :D


saw this a few weeks ago, couldnt stop watching it. Makes me anticipate any HD remakes that much more.

Although, I will sincerely miss playing Shenmue with a DC pad and its VMU :<

I missed the boat when the Dreamcast came out, but I'm starting to collect for it and its surprised me how well the games hold up today, just so much fun to play.

Can see it being played alot in the future.

Chu Chu rocket is one excellent game to play with friends. Its a shame Sega don't make hardware anymore. There is a rumour going around that they are leaving the console market all together and going to make games for tablets.

I have a small collection but I like all of what I have:

Jet Set Radio
D2 (US only, I guess?)
Garou Mark of the Wolves (Japanese version)
Dead of Alive 2 (Japanese version)
Last Blade 2 (Censorship makes this the most disappointing game in my collection)
Shenmue
Record of Lodoss Wars (Good Diablo clone)
Grandia 2
Tech Romancer (This is my current DC passion)
Resident Evil Code Veronica
Virtua Tennis
Virtua ON
Zombie Revenge

Are my suggestions
