Just Brought a Dreamcast :D Wow

[Triv1um]

Triv1um, what games did you get with it?

Resident Evil Code: Veronica
Soul Calibur
Sega Rally 2
Sonic Adventure
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver
Tomb Raider: Last Revelation
102 Dalmations - Puppies to the rescue
ChuChu Rocket.

It was a fixed bundle from GameStation, so I didnt get the choice of games, but I thought the selection wasnt too bad. (except 102 Dalmations)

I got the Dreamcast, 1 pad (with VMU), and those games for £25 (bargin)

I recommend these excellent titles (in my opinion):

Sonic Adventure 2
Sonic Shuffle
Worms World Party
Unreal Tournament
Grandia 2
Skies of Arcadia
Marvel vs Capcom
Marvel vs Capcom 2
Sega Smash Pack Vol. 1
Starlancer
Phantasy Star Online
Phantasy Star Online Ver. 2

[Triv1um]

Thanks JKK, I will look into those.

If they were crap, people wouldn't be playing them 8 years after their releases.
Starlancer and Quake 3 Arena are considered 2 big titles for Dreamcast. They have high scores on all the gaming sites.

I've not heard of Starlancer, and I got bored of Quake 3 when I first got it, the best online game is still Chu Chu Rocket, but SEGA are morons and pulled the server!

You forgot Shenmue.

Almost Everything except Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike and Shenmue are on this list, but DONT get Sega Smash Pack Vol. 1 (possibly the first collection of emulated genesis games for a console), the emulation is awful. Sonic 1 lags and is glitchy, and it sounds like its 8-bit renditions of the music. If you want genesis games, use the newest release of GenesisPlusDC (but make sure that you own the game legally )

I have Sega Smash Pack Vol. 1 mainly because Shining Force and Phantasy Star 2. Even if the sound is not like in the original console, it's still good because the compilation is cheap!

True, it is cheap. But it is emulated with much better results for Genesis Plus...Which is free

It looks like you have some decent titles to get started with. If you like the roaming adventure type I'd say play Soul Reaver before Tomb Raider as I think it's a much better example of that sort of game. It's similar in many ways but far less frustrating to control.

If you have the spare cash I'd recommend:

Arcade Stick
DC-X Swap Disc for imports
Ikaruga
Rez
Samba De Amigo with Maracas

Out of the more common PAL releases that have not been already mentioned by JKK, I think these are all good:

Rayman 2
MSR
Powerstone 1 & 2
Jet Set Radio
Capcom Vs SNK
Street Fighter Alpha 3
Crazy Taxi
Virtua Tennis 2
Bangai-O
Tony Hawk's 2

[Triv1um]

Thanks beetroot.

I really like soul reaver, tomb raider sucks ass though.

When i have some spare cash (spent the little i had left to mod up the DC, gonna spray it and LED it up, If it turns out nice i will post pics when its done.)

I will go mad and buy loads.

Mine has been sadly neglected of late, pushed aside for the seductive wares and shiny promise of HD and decent single player FPS games on my 360.

I still have plenty of games to play on it yet but haven't even got round to Shenmue 2 yet, let alone some of the cheapo ones I picked up along the way.

If you are using a CRT TV you may have some fun with a light gun and House Of The Dead 2 and Confidential Mission. Both are great for quick blasts.

You may want to invest in a VGA cable at some stage too, as the DC looks sweet on a CRT monitor via VGA. Soul Calibur is really crisp and Ikaruga looks the dogs' nuts. You really can't go wrong with post-pub Soul Calibur. You owe it to your mates to get another controller.
