[Essentials] Dreamcast

[Spec2K]

You guys are missing the king of all racing games, where it started it all, and it was for Dreamcast.

Tokyo Xtreme Racer II

Also other games that were awesome:

Soul Reaver: Legacy Of Kain
Sega Bass Finishing 1 & 2
Sega Marine Fishing
Blue Stinger
Carrier
Ecco The Dolphin: Defender Of The Future
Evil Dead: Hail To The King (Kinda Repeatitive, but a must for Evil Dead fans.)
Ready 2 Rumble & Ready 2 Rumble : Round 2
San Francisco Rush: 2049

 

[xalphax]

[iamwhoiam]

List updated - mainly just the fishing games added... haha

 

[KotaInka2]

Soul Calibur (A year or two ago, I tried trading this in at a Gamestop along with the system and some of the games below, but they don't take them. LOL)
Resident Evil: Code Veronica
Crazy Taxi
NFL 2K
Virtua Tennis

 

[Valshar]

Shenmue I and II, Rez, Sonic Adventure I and II, Grandia II, Skies of Arcadia, Power Stone 2, MSR, Soul Calibur, Virtua Tennis 2

That's all I can think of right now

Headhunter (Really absorbing)

Grandia 2 (Excellent battle system)
Virtua Tennis 2
Skies of Arcadia (Over-rated, but building a pirate base was cool. Play it on GC instead.)
Sonic Adventure 1 and 2
Seaman
Street Fighter Alpha 3
Sega Bass Fishing 1 and 2
Sega Marine Fishing

I would say Soul Calibur, but there's no reason to play it now. SC2 made it obsolete.

There were a few games that I really wanted to try but never got the chance: Thousand Arms, Black Matrix and Elemental Gimmick Gear come to mind.

Damn.... all these games are making me miss Sega. Nintendo sucks so bad compared to Sega when they were making magic happen.

 

[zombielove]

Oh, and Zombie Revenge.

No one else can pull off that fun arcade feel that Sega does so well.

 

[Lost Racer]

Virtua On

 

[roguefan99]

Had a quick look through but I might have missed anyone mentioning this.

On the first list "Half Life" is listed, but this was cancelled on the dreamcast and never released. So its not really an essential.

My games
MSR
Daytona
Ikurgra
Virtua Tennis
Crazy Taxi
Soul Calibur
Jet Set Radio
House of The dead
Sega Rally
Record of Lodoss War

There were a lot of great games for the DC, I probably have missed a heap because they are packed away at home.

Virtua Striker ver.2000.1 (2nd best multiplayer game)

Ikaruga (so difficult)
