Best Dreamcast Games of All Time!

[DevilsAdvocate]

What are the best games of all time for this system, and where can you get them for cheep ?

I am trying to build a library - What are the best DC games by category?

 

[minendo]

Any version of Tony Hawk Pro Skater.

 

[vash]

Best DC games:

1. Capcom vs SNK 2
2. King of Fighters 99 (KOF98 to the SNK fans)

I like fighting games and the DC rocked for that. If you want other titles, Metropolis Street Racer, Puzzle Fighter, Soul Caliber and Crazy Taxi are pretty good titles as well.

Screw which ones are best. I want to know where to get the best PRICES on the damn things! Seems like the good ones are still close to $40.00. What's the best bang for the buck, slightly dated games?

Buy used games from EBgames or Gamestop. I have been buying a lot of used stuff from them. Just got Shenmue for $14.

For driving games, not even the new systems can hold a candle to Ferrari F355 and to a lesser extent, Lemans 24 Hours.

SAMBA DE AMIGO, DANGIT, how many times do I have to tell you?!

It's $20 new, but the maracas will run you $50 or more, but worth ever penny.

 

[vi edit]

Ornery, there should be a local game shop or pawn shop near you that buys and sells used games. There's a game shop near me that has close to 100 various used Dreamcast games selling anywhere from $10 to $25. They also advertise in a weekly paper with a $5.00 coupon so I get some pretty good games for $10.00

Also check out half.com

You guys have inspired me. I am about to head over to FuncoLand and pick up Ready 2 Rumble boxing and the new Tennis 2K2. And maybe more.

 

[TallBill]

lemans is the best driving game... mr driller is fun... virtua athlete is fun for lotso people

 

[aceO07]

Where did you guys get Capcom vs SNK 2? I can't even find in anywhere..

As cool as Dreamcast is and as cheap as the games are, I should stop looking to buy more games this week..

No kidding. I was checking fighting games on the PS2 (because I'm thinking about buying one) and the selection isn't nearly as diverse as the DC.

NFL 2k2 is hands down my favorite game now. Tony hawk 2 is good as well. I've *never* played shenmu, I have this feeling I'm missing something great.

As far as capcom vs snk 2, try import shops. I've never seen it around here. Gamestop might have it too.

Used games at gamestop are kind of strange sometimes. If the game is popular (ie: Soul Calibur) expect to pay near-new price for it (Soul Calibur was like $27-34 last time I saw it there).

I picked up a Dreamcast on Black Friday and picked up a bunch of games for it.

How good is NFL 2K2 and NBA 2K2?

What are the best games by category?

 

[FuZoR]

Any good 4-Player games other then Sports?

 

[yata]

NFL2k1 is the best game of all. Now that 2k2's out, the new one should be better. Beats Madden hands down. Awesome commentators. Can't complain on gameplay, except there's no lateral's... It's freakin' replayable forever.

Jet Grind Radio
Grandia 2
Skies Of Arcadia

 

[Ornery]

Guess I should have mentioned that I'd like to buy these as gifts for Christmas. Got my older son Shenmue when it first came out, but he returned it for something else, so no reason to look at the new one, right? Seems like Sonic II would be OK, but that's one of the pricey ones. I need to find these cheap:

• NFL 2K2
• Marvel vs. Capcom 2
• Crazy Taxi 2
• Sonic Adventure 2
• Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2

I'd rather not give a used game as a gift, but it looks like the prices for these things are fixed. Know of any coupons that might help?

games i played alot on the DC:

chu chu rocket (very good multiplayer)
crazy taxi (just plain addicting)
street fighter 3: 3rd strike (my favorite SF since SF2Turbo)

i would have played jet grind radio alot more, but i wish the controls were "tony hawk" like so i could also perform tricks with easy while playing the game.
