Dreamcast is dead, we all know. Only a couple of interesting games are coming. People is telling how short lived it was. It’s being sold for a misery. Everybody insults Sega like they did with the Saturn when it died. Games aren’t on stores anymore. But it is an excellent system, with awesome games that most people didn’t dared to try. This is a list of some of the greatest games for the system, in my own subjective and biased opinion. Probably you won’t agree at all with this. Bah, surelly you won’t. But that’s not my intention. Here it goes, in no particular order, not limited to any number of choices.
Space Channel 5, Space Channel 5 part 2: SC5 was a GREAT game. Excellent music, very stylish backgrounds, a pink haired girl as the main character and addictive Simon-like gameplay. Didn’t had so much fun with a music game since the Simon minigame in Toe Jam and Earl 2. SC5 part 2 takes everything for the original and makes it better. In every possible way. Nothing in the sequel is worse. Go now, buy it, and get a friend that knows Japanese. You won’t forget it. I didn’t. In fact, I played a bit of it this morning.
Sakura Taisen 3, Sakura Taisen 4: Haven’t played ST3, but I’m playing ST4, and if everything I heard/know is true, go get them now. they have the cutest girls, with an actual personality (unlike the prostitute-looking filled DOAX that everybody seems to love), interesting villains, maybe the coolest battle engine I’ve seen since the Tales games, oh!, and Sumire is around too, I love her. What else do you want? Check ST3 foor a great game, and ST4 for a short story after it, more like an append.
Choukousenki Kikaioh (Tech Romancer): Capcom at its best. They wanted to do something very hard. A fighting game that homages one of the favorite anime genres: the giant robot anime. And boy they did an awesome job. In this game you can find elements from Gundam, Eva, Macross, Mazinger and a lot more of series, heck, even Ultraman. The DC is filled with extras: Hidden robots (including Jin’s Blodia ][ custom!), VMU minigames, art galleries, a first-quality anime opening, character and mech profiles… but where the game shines is in another aspect, the amazing story mode. Each mech has a story with two different paths, with lots of spoken dialogues, divided in anime-like episodes. Much like in Eretzvaju/Evil Zone, but way better done. I grew up watching series like Mazinger and Grendizer. I can’t say how much I love this game.
Ikaruga: You’ve heard a lot of this game, haven’t you? Well, all that is true, I can’t add anything else. It’s not the best shooter even, but tries hard enough. You won’t be dissapointed.
Gigawing 2, Mars Matrix: While the DC was short on Cave shooters, Takumi did its best to fill the void. Want to see the screen filled with bullets and you barelly making your way through them? These are your games. Gigawing 2, while it’s VERY short, has Dreamcast-quality graphics, one of the best soundtracks ever, and a very polished gameplay. Mars Matrix on the other side is way more oriented to hardcore gamers. It doesn’t looks too pretty, but its frenetic gameplay makes it a must have. Darn hard bosses.
Moero! Justice Gakuen (Project Justice): How important are the character designs for a game? In this case, everything. How can somebody dislike playing with Powered Akira, Zaki or Hayato? Sadly the US version lost the very fun board game. Not the best fighter, but it’s not about it. It’s about fun with the characters.
Street Fighter III – 3rd strike: Best fighter ever. Really.
Rez: Style, style, style. It’s so hard to describe why somebody can like a game like this. It’s just cool. The detail on its design is amazing. Truly a game that should be a classic. Shows that sometimes “realistic or anime” isn’t the answer for everything. You’ll dream in wireframes after playing it. I know, I did.
Puyo Puyo ~n (Puyo Puyo 4): It’s Puyo Puyo! Just with higher resolution, voice acting and cooler illustrations. Oh, and lots of modes. And Rulue rocks in this one too. Not much else to say about this one.
And that’s all for now. Maybe I’ll edit/add more later, but these are the ones that came to my mind. Again, it’s only my opinion. And please, if you make another post here, don’t quote this entire post.

So sad yet so true...
They don't sell games anymore where I live (not even pirate games...).
The console is nowhere to be found, and let's not talk about the accessories (I could NEVER find the VGA Box or a couple of guns for HotD).
So many great games for one of the best systems of videogame history.
Like Rid, here's my list of the best games of Sega's white wonder (well, black in my case, because I have the Sports edition).
In no particular order:
Street Fighter III Third Strike I think Rid said everything about this game.
Marvel Vs Capcom 2 I bought the DC JUST for this game in the first place.
Capcom Vs SNK 2 I love this game, it's almost the best fighter.
Vampire Chronicles I fell in love with Darkstalkers since I played the first one.
Project Justice Love this game, tons of style and fun.
Power Stone Multiplayer at its best
Resident Evil Code Veronica One of the best chapters in the Resident Evil Saga.
Tech Romancer I can't believe how fun this game is! If you're a fan of big robots and anime, this game is for you.
Street Fighter Alpha 3 Best port of this great game.
Super Puzzle Fighter II X The best puzzle game ever!
Last Blade 2 great game, great ambientation, great style.
Garou While not a groundbreaking game, it's still fun to play.
KoF '99 My favorite KoF, plus, it has the best music of the series.
Headhunter I know this game is crap in the eyes of most people, but if you haven't played it, give it a try (I know you will love the ending).
Guilty Gear X Not the most balanced game, but it's fun to play against the CPU.
Silent Scope Great game, I wish I had the sniper rifle for this game...
Skies of Arcadia One of my favorite RPG's ever. Beautiful story, great characters and superb moments.
Shenmue While not everyone's cup of tea, it's a nice and different game, I love it.
Spawn In the Demon's Hand Great arcade game with great music.
Crazy Taxi Lots of fun and hilarity with this one.
Jet Grind Radio And of course, one of the better games on any console.
I'm pretty sure I'm missing a lot of good games, but those are the ones I've played.

If I can find Space Channel 5, should I buy it?
I agree with Rid's list. I'd add the SNK ports and DoA2 to it.

I bought my dreamcast one month after it launched in japan in '98. I'd say I never regretted the purchase, but saying that makes me feel strange. I never even thought about the possibility of regret.
my favorite games -
Hanagumi Taisen Columns II. great fun, the best version of columns available.
Mars Matrix Dreamcast cannot compare to saturn for shooters, or sadly even to PSX. But thanks to capcom's publishing, we still got several, and this is the BEST OF THE BUNCH. So I say.
Zero Gunner 2 second best shooter ^_^
Garou great port, and gets my vote for best playing SNK title.
SF III 3rd Strike this is to the SF series what Garou is to the FF series. Great.
KOF ports why play them anywhere else (except perhaps a home cart)?? Best ports, great extras, especially once playmore came along.
Super Puzzle Fighter II X for Matching Service best version of puzzle fighter, with extra modes and methods of gameplay. FanTASTIC.
Puyo Puyo~n yes.
Berzerk I loved the music, I loved the gameplay, and I don't care what anyone says!
Sengoku Turb HAH! I liked this game. All shall perish before its might!!!
Dreamcast could never have defeated the legacy of the saturn, the best system created for the 'hardcore' gamer. But the DC did it's best, and for that I applaud it.
Just to point out, I believe the Saturn had the best version of SFa3. I sold my DC version because it was so much better on the saturn. SS had larger sprites, more gameplay options...tough to say that the DC version was better.

I don't blame you for now wanting to sell your Dreamcast, hell I've got 2 of them, and I'm still looking for more.
As for my favorite games....
Resident Evil: Code Veronica - BEST game in the RE series.
CvS2 - Nuff Said
The KOF games - I still need to get KOF2000, and I'm waiting for KOF2002.
There's a lot more because I have over 30 DC games, but I can't even go on. There's all good. There wasn't really any REALLY BAD games on the DC now that I think about it. All of the games were good in there own way, unless Batman Beyond was on the DC?
Here's hoping that Playmore continues to support the Dreamcast and releases Rage of the Dragons and SNK vs. Capcom and future games!

Ah yes, my Dreamcast is the one system that stays with me here at college no matter what. I can't think of another good game that hasn't been mentioned yet, but alot have already been mentioned that are really good. My favorites are my Sakura Taisen series (mainly Sakura Taisen 3, I have 1-4), Vampire Chronicles, Project Justice, and wow, there are so many more. I just realized that if I were to list all my favs for DC, it would take a while. Oh yeah, Marvel Vs Capcom 2 deserves mention since it is the game I play the most with my friends. But yes, Dreamcast is a good system. I am trying to hunt down that Princess Maker Collection game, but haven't found it yet. Perhaps I can find it when I go to Japan this coming summer. I make a point to go to Japan once a year during the summer.

1. Fire Pro Wrestling D Duh!
Crazymax, I'm really curious about this game. In fact all I've heard is praise and love and more praise for this game but I know anything about it. What's so special about it? Does it have a create a wrestler and if it does, how does it compare to SD!:SYM's?
Is it based on a real federation or are the characters purely fictional?
Oh, and to add another game to this list:
Ready to Rumble: Next to the Punch-out games, this was the funnest boxing game I've ever played. Afro Thunder is a straight up pimp.
To put it simply, Fire Pro was a pro wrestling fan's dream come true for videogames, created by fan's of wrestling. I'd been getting it since it's appearance on Super Famicom, where they tried to duplicate the experience of sorts of you trying to be a Japanese ( they would repeat this formula in a rpg sort of mode with Fire Pro G for the PS ) Pre wrestler. They put in a dojo mode that taught you the fundamentals of the game. It was the first game that I got import and had no clue what to do, just played it for 2 weeks straight in dojo mode until I figured it out myself. To this day that practice has served me well.
Anyhow, the game tries to duplicate all of professional wrestling as much as possible. So they literally do EVERY ( as much as possible at the time of making the game ) federation in the game. Just with altered names to thinly avoid copyright laws. Where the game gained it's legendary status was the ability to go in and change the names and appearances of the wrestlers. So you could yourself make Ice Heart whoever, into Stone Cold Steve Austin, with whatever he currently wears in the ring. With a save feature, ambitious players put saves on Gamefaqs, and you could literally go online and get the proper names and appearances for your game.
The CAW ( [b]Create A Wrestler ) feature is the one that everything has been based on since. It came with moves out the wazoo for you to make your own cool guy, or if you favorite wrestlers changed their moves, you could update them. To take this farther, Spike used the online capabilities of the DC to for one year ADD new moves. Undertaker started doing the Last Ride, not a problem. Angle started doing the Angle Lock, not a problem. Mutoh came up with yet another version of the Shining Wizard, once again...
53 new moves were added to the game, all voted by fans in Japan. Thus Matt Hardy's Twist of Fate was added, as well as the Eliminator's ( For us hardcore ECW fans ) Total Elimination. Much love was heaped on us fans. All the moves were brought here by a fan who took money from a bunch of american fans, somehow got a Japanese subscription and got the moves to upload them for us here.
But wait!! There's still more!!!

Yup, you can program your created guy to fight the way you would, but without you actually controlling him. You can program him to be a careful submissionist, to a grand standing crowd pleasing daredevil. This mode is what is used by fantasy wrestling feds based on FPD. You send the file with your created guy, following some rules they establish, and they literally create a care with all the created characters, then publish the results.
Word of warning though...
Many have found the gameplay rather difficult to pick up. Like I explained, I had the dojo mode to help me ( they supposedly brought it back for FPD on the GBA ), several people have found it frustrating. The gameplay is slower and a little more oriented towards wrestling. The game does include Pride & UFC fighting as well. This game really rewards you for working over limbs and hitting great moves.
You will giggle like a girl the first time you see CRITICAL, and the your opponent looks like a dead man on the mat unconcious.
For me, I refer to Smackdown as Whackdown, because the gameplay is more kick & punch. Done with the belief that American players prefer a faster paced sort of game. So it is the complete opposite of FPD.
Also, one last important thing...
The graphics are also the complete opposite of Smackdown. Whereas the latest Smackdown has sweet looking 3-D, FPD uses a simple 2-D engine, that many hate. King of Colosseum the PS2 version is in 3D, which is why the completely different name. The in between of the two games is Virtual Pro ( known as WCW vs the World or the last Wrestlemanina on N64 as well ), or Giant Gram.
If I could be in love with any game, this would be it.

Well, that sounds really awesome and all but...2D? After playing SD! I just can't go back to 2D wrestling anymore (as if I'll actually have any access to these games)...

LOL! Yeah, I think the time has passed on the title. Only hardcore wrestling fans will look into this. Smackdown in appearance and movesets has caught up to FPD. Why take a step back in graphics quality when Smackdown gets a little better each year. Case in point, Whackdown finally has localized area damage, now you can work over a limb. It doesn't last, but it is a start. If you can, check out Giant Gram. It's trade off is it's CAW and character selection, but if you can believe it, I think the graphics are better than Whackdown's. Giant Gram also features the coolest animation, a Riki - Oh like zoom in when you break or disable a body part.
