Hey, Chef's Luv Shack was a GREAT game... for a few minutes... and for like 5 bucks... yeah.
As for one that hasn't been recommended yet, if you like DDR at ALL, I recommend Feet of Fury. It's at goatstore.com .
I second this nomination! Tennis 2k2 is good too..and this is a guy who does not watch the sport!Originally Posted by xenu
Aha! Now we see the violence inherent in the system!
definitely Illbleed. I have two copies of this. I thought I got a bad copy when I first bought my dreamcast used a few months ago, but i cleaned the dreamcast a bit, and the original one works. I wound up buying a second copy. So now I have two copies and if anyone wants a copy, pm me. I'll trade for any DC double you may have... I have about 11 games right now. The disney racer game that is kind of like Mario kart is pretty cool too. it's pretty fast and seems to have better control than mario kart (im a huge mario kart/f-zero fan). I reccommend that highly.
Steer clear of: Kiss Psycho Circus & Chicken Run. blech. Could chicken run be ANY darker? I have to turn the brightness on my tv all the way up just to see shadows. I don't know, i didn't give it much fo a chance because I don't like the look... but maybe because the beginning of the game takes place in the night and it gets lighter later? Kiss Psycho Circus just makes no sense to me. im upset i bought a new copy of demolition something and it doesnt work in my dreamcast. (i have the first run model of it according to the serial label). is that 99? november 99 i think. Do later games not work on the older system? That is what I thought was the problem with Illbleed. It sucks that I suck at video games in general that I can't beat the first level of Illbleed, but it's a great game. I like classic horror movies so that is probably why i love it, and the camp value is great..
I think I play my dreamcast more than most systems right now. I never got the saturn, and thinking about it, but not sure if I could/should afford it at the moment. I want to play Nights so badly. I almost picked up a PSone this weekend to collect some of that stuff, but bought mario and luigi superstar saga... ugh. that game is too hard for me too. ! grrr. i hate reading manuals though. I like simple games that i can pick up and play... which is probably why i like racers... can anyone suggest a good racer for dreamcast? i almost picked up that racer of the oldschool cars from the 40s or 20s a few times for cheap, but never did. is it that bad that it's not worth it? I loved Burnout2 but HATED need for speed underground... but they are sort of similar, but nfsu was too flashy and i didnt like the controls... i thought the controls in burnout2 were great. like f-zero, though f-zero is a bit hard, the graphics are so good. fzero for super nintendo i played soooooo much .. loved it. i finally found a copy of fzero for gba and havent played it on the gb player yet, but there is something off about that game...
Hydro thunder is a good racing game for dreamcast. a bit hard though... arcade ports seems always hard for me.
ugh i wish they made a maniac mansion for gb/ps2/xbox. i dont have ps2 or xbox, but if they made a maniac mansion for it, i'd so get it!
sorry for the chatter rambles...

And still no-one to suggest Bangai-o? Might as well be me, then.
briskbc: I anxiously waited 1937 to arrive by mail to have some sideways action... and after 5 minutes... it was like bye bye $30, hello cack game. One of those moments. I was utterly disgusted.
Bangai O was suggestes actually :P
Ikaruga of course too
Add Air and Comic Party if you like Novel/Dating Style Games

I suggest picking up most of the games that were mentioned here along with Evil Twin, Rez and Headhunter. All PAL except for Rez which is also a Japanese release.
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Gundam 0079 yet,
Hard to find, but well worth it.
