Retrogaming with Racketboy has a piece looking at some of the console-defining titles (http://www.racketboy.com/retro/2006/04/games-that-defined-dreamcast.html) we miss from that little white box. From the article: "Phantasy Star Online - Sega was one of the main pioneers in online console gaming. While they had modest online offering with both the Genesis and Saturn, the Dreamcast was the first of their consoles to have online capabilities built into the stock machine. The Dreamcast came standard with a 56k modem and also had a (expensive) LAN/Broadband adapter available as an upgrade. Phantasy Star Online paved the way for Sega's groundbreaking online network and for later networks like XBox Live.

Nice list, thanks for the link.

Personally I think they could have included F355 Challenge because it is the most realistic racer out there with some of the slickest car models I have ever seen. MSR being a runner up for starting a series everyone thinks that started on the Xbox with its most impressive features being the recreations of the cities and the way the time was reflected ingame, you could even see the real time on the Big Ben, those little details and the music stations were some pretty innovative features for a racegame if you'd ask me.
