    Whoa nelly, what a broad question.

    It really depends on what you like, which you've graciously omitted. Yet, I kid.

    Shooting
    -Ikaruga
    -Border Down
    -Zero Gunner 2
    -Under Defeat
    -TriggerHeart Excelica
    -Psyvariar 2: The Will to Fabricate
    -Radilgy
    -Karous
    -Twinkle Star Sprites

    Really, I could stop there, although that's primarily why people import for the 'Cast. I'd suggest in that order too, or close to it.

    I'd recommend you also look into the following:
    Cleopatra Fortune (Puzzle), Doki Doki Idol Star Seeker Remix (Puzzle), Sega Tetris (Puzzle), L.O.L. (Adventure-Puzzle-&then some), Mobile Suit Gundam DX (Action), Cosmic Smash (Sports), Vampire Chronicle (Fighting), and that's about all I can immediately think of at this time of night. The great thing about Dreamcast is that nearly all the great games got worldwide release so I think there aren't too many to get that are import exclusive, which is nice. In order to establish your own opinion might I suggest scanning Yakumo's great SegagaDomain. That link will take you to his played game directory where he gives (sometimes) a brief synopsis of X game.

    Yes, it does depend what type of game, I heartily recommend the following:

    Capcom vs SNK 2
    Psyvariar 2
    Ikaruga
    Under Defeat
    Cool Cool Toon
    Cosmic Smash

    and Europe/Japan exclusives:

    Rez (PAL release also)
    Shenmue II (PAL release)

    Most of my Japanese imports I either haven't played or haven't put enough time into yet...

    My faves:

    Get Colonies (puzzle game like 3D checkers)
    Rez (European version)

    I've got others, but they're in storage and not that great.
    Currently catching up on PSN, WiiWare, Wii U E-Shop and Xbox Live Arcade exclusives I missed.

    Rez
    Napple Tale
    Shenmue II
    Ikaruga
    Border Down
    Shikigami no Shirou 2
    Cosmic Smash (f'n EPIC!)
    Space Channel 5 Part 2.

    Radirgy and Karous I find to be highly overrated. Not worth the money.

    What's Napple Tale like? (And is it worth the $60 it seems to be fetching on eBay these days?)

    I've only played it once so my opinions probably aren't worth much but I spent far far far too long in cutscenes I couldn't understand and didn't get too much action. The game does seem very text/story heavy, well, at least near the beginning. It was enough to put me off playing any further.

    It ain't deserving tht high price. If u would like to have it do try out to get it for round about 50$ or less.

    If it says SNK or Playmore on the packaging, buy two of each.
