Dreamcast is still one of my favorite consoles, even though it is outdated... and the games can be had very cheaply. Thanks for the heads up

DC's got my vote too!

//krunk (^_^x)

 

[Flexicon]

I still love my Dreamcasts, too. Thanks for the heads up!

NINTENDO's are a hot commodity these days. Ive seen one sell with 5 games for over $100 dollars

 

[GhettoBlaster]

I have been eyeing a Genesis for a while. I have a clean sweep on the Nintendo consoles, I am pondering on getting all the Sega systems.

 

[SoylentGreen]

I have genesis, but the vid out is messed up and you have to play with the cord to get a clear picture.
I'm going to have to stop by.

 

[duhh]

go for a top loader nintendo, those ones own!

Looked at the website --^ "Ooga Booga + half-rack = great fun" $8.50 Quake3, tennis 2k2, and Jet Grind Radio are good deals also at $8.50

Amazon still has a few things, too... and so does buy.com, compusa b&m, circuit city b&m, etc (ymmv)

My DC recommendations that aren't obvious "must haves" but can probably be found new or used for under $10.

Alien Front Online -- reminds me of Halo
Datona USA -- if you can find a steering wheel/pedals
Chu Chu rocket -- addictive "kid" game, if you like fast-action puzzles
Fur Fighters -- just plain fun
MDK 2 -- fun, interesting, hard
Disney Magical Racing Tour -- if you got kids, it's a bit like Mario Kart for N64, but not quite as good imo
Max Steel
Mr. Driller -- another addictive "kid" game, action/puzzle
Ms PacMan
Ooga Booga -- fun multiplayer... especially after a couple beers! But the kids should love it, too.
Red Dog -- excellent game that no-one has ever heard of, drive a combat vehicle around/in different worlds
Star Lancer -- space-oriented shoot-em-up, with a plot
Super Magnetic Neo -- super what? Super fun!
Test Drive Le-Mans -- If people knew about this game, maybe Sega would still be making the DC! Racer w/excellent graphics.
Toy Commander -- you are the toy; has missions and head to head modes... Fun multiplayer action.
Trickstyle
Vanishing Point -- excellent racer, with mini-games scattered around for variation

The Obvious ones: ANY 2k2 sports game, Crazy Taxi 1 & 2, Hidden and dangerous, Quake 3, Rainbow Six, Ready 2 Rumble 1&2, Shenmue 1&2, Sonic Adventure 1&2, Unreal tournament

And for resourceful... Half Life (w/blue shift!)

Berserk for the DC is a hot seller on ebay

I just recently got my DC so I don't have much experience.

Would you recommend:

Phantasy Star Online 2 $8.50 shipped

or

Shenmue $10.50 shipped ?

Thanks for any advice!

5 games + console for over $100? Better have been some damn good games or a toploading NES(most likely).

I can't believe noone mentioned Soul Calibur for DC. Still looking good after all these years.

I wouldn't recommend Phantasy Star Online 2 for it's "online" play... since Sega has officially shut down their online servers a couple months ago. It's ok, but I'd spend my money elsewhere.

Shenmue is very good. Shenmue 2 is very very good. -- if you like RPG's.
If you like fighter games like Soul Calibur, I'd also recommend "UFC" -- Ultimate Fighting Championship, and also Powerstone 1&2
If you like scary movies and RPG's, a couple I forgot about are "Illbleed", "evil twin" and "carrier" -- creepy.

Lot's of good DC games to keep you entertained for a long time.

Carrier got pretty bad reviews IIRC. But otherwise your list isn't too far off. I have quite a few of the games you've mentioned. And yes, Test Drive Le-Mans has insane graphics, even compared to today's goodies.
