Here's a plug for dreamcasthistory.com ... some good info on the DC, and nice "only-dc" forums.. check em out
www.segagaga.com
www.classicgaming.com/japangaming
These sites both contain info on lots of JAP DC games.. in case you are into importing, which you should be =)
Im kinda looking for the rarest games, hardest to find, best games, etc.
I suggest starting hereOriginally Posted by generalbusiness

That magical blue book is the best thing you could ever have when collecting dreamcast. Approximate value, rarity number, and some info on each game. Priceless!

Sonic Adventure LE is the rarest I believe.
Good fun games to start with I think are:
Sonic Adventure 1&2
Crazy Taxi 1&2
any Resident Evils
Shenmue
Soul Calibur
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver
Virtua Fighter 3tb
Chu Chu Rocket
Phantasy Star Online
Most 1st party games are great.
The DC has a very good ratio of good games so don't feel too nervous about buying games you haven't heard of/seen before.
The DC version of Tony Hawk 2 is the best version I have ever played.... I am very much addicted to it
sorry to plug my site once again but... www.akibagames.com (JP DC only)
Im really intrested in the rare items. How rare is the Sonic Adventure 2 Birthday Pack?
My good man you have come to the right place
You could with some 2d and fighting games.
Ikaruga, Doa2, Frame Gride(pretty rare)
Grame gride is a From software from the Armored core series but instead the focus is mech fighting one-on-one arcade style with lots of Upgrades and customization plus it's not on any other system, plus it has an online battle mode not to mention really cool artwork.
You could try Virtual on W/Twin sticks.oh, pleae note: Frame gride is like an Armored core virtual-on only fater, darker and loads of upgrading options.
Powerful pro baseball dc edition is really rare! I think there is a couple versions on dc. it's a jp cute, super defored baseball game.

howdoin nice site. Looks l9ike you didn;'t waste any time letting this fellow collector know where to shop :P
Really, it looks very pro.
go buy these 20 games then come back for moreOriginally Posted by generalbusiness
Thats a great list. Thanks for all the help.
Im just wondernig if there are any lists out there of rare games, or complete list of all US releases, etc etc.
It was already mentioned, but www.dreamcasthistory.com is the best site for all things DC related. I maintain all of my collection lists from their collection lists.
And if you're looking for bonuses, Cool Herders is being released from my business, the GOAT Store, LLC, and it has a pre-order poster available for only today and tomorrow until midnight.

** Trying to finish up an overly complete Dreamcast collection... want to help? (Updated 5/3/10!) http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?t=61333
not very. it's an import, so finding one in the wild in the states would be pretty amazing, but you can get one shpped from over seas on ebay pretty much any day of the week for around $10 or so. i think lik-sang.com still might be selling them as well. common as far as Japanese games go. still a nice little collection piece though.Originally Posted by generalbusiness
and i also would just like to give my support here to www.dreamcasthistory.com

support the most recent 2d imports. let's give G rev a reason to keep making dc games!
Why are you only interested in collecting rare games? Are you even going to bother playing them or will they go straight to eBay if you find one?Originally Posted by generalbusiness
Didn't someone else make almost the exact same post recently?
