San Francisco Rush 2049
UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship)
Typing of the Dead (yes I do have the DC keyboard lol)
Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1/2
Sega Bass and Marine Fishing (two games.) fishing sounds boring but these games are pretty fun.
Ecco the Dolphin Defender of the Future, I don't care what anyone says I liked it lol

Those are some I played a lot of. Fun games all of them!

Typing of the Dead is tons fun
Soul Calibur
Virtua Tennis 2K2
Rez
Rival Schools 2
Hydro Thunder

Those are the ones I usually come back to each time I dust off the DC.

Sidebar: Take a look at the SD card loader. They are very cheap, and you can hold tons of emulators and other stuff.

Does this thread also account for essential accessories for the respective consoles?

Shadowman - the best version (but with awful load times)
Rush 2049 - arcade perfect
Sega Rally - still the best Sega Rally on any platform
Speed Demons - one of the most fun racing games ever

Games:

• Resident Evil: Code Veronica
• Rez
• Half-Life (unreleased, but the iso out there is pretty much done)
• Sonic Adventure 1 & 2
• Jet Grind Radio
• Crazy Taxi
• Ikaruga
• Soul Calibur
• Marvel vs. Capcom 1 & 2
• Hydro Thunder
• Ready 2 Rumble
• Quake III Arena - heck, if you still have this on disc, you could even set up a server for cross play with PC
• Unreal Tournament
• House of the Dead 2
• Confidential Mission
• Power Stone 1 & 2
• Space Channel 5
• Typing of the Dead

Accessories:

• VGA Box - A must for 480p graphics from the console. And better to get the box instead of the cable because the box enables output through industry-standard S-Video and composite if by some odd chance the game you're booting up is incompatible with VGA mode. I can say that out of my extensive testing, I've only ran into a single game of my own that absolutely won't boot up on VGA mode, which ended up being a Japanese-only Love Hina game.
• Dreamcast VMU - as far as memory cards go, the dreamcast's stands out as the most practical and usable even outside of playing Dreamcast games directly. It's a pity about the craptastic battery life.
• Jump Pack - All the rumble, and no batteries to worry about. Of course I gotta add it to the essentials
• Keyboard & Mouse - Either the official set or the adapters to plug them in... this was the last console that actually had regular support for these provided, especially for the FPS's, and the off-the-wall Typing of the Dead
• The holy grail at this point would be the Broadband Adapter. But thanks to greedy bastards on eBay, good luck trying to find one for less than $200 USD
