Got myself a Dreamcast at the TooManyGames EXPO, So What are some of the Hidden Gems I should look into, The Reason I say Hidden Gems is I already Know the big titles such as the fighting games, crazy taxi, jet set, Space Channel 5, and sonic! so what would you guys and gals suggest a new Dreamcast collector take a gander at!!!


ok so I thought it would be a good idea to give you guys an idea of the games i have so far

so the week end at the TooManyGames EXPO I grabed these Games to go with my DreamCast

Capcom VS SNK for 20 bucks

Vitua Fighter 3 tb, Slave Zero, and Evolution 2: far off Promise for 20 Bundled grabed those games basicly Evolution equels gotta have a RPG, Slave Zero had a Cool Name, and I hear people mention Vitua Fighter Alot!! BTW slave Zero is an Interesting 3rd Person Shooter to say the Least!!!

and I just got Space Channel 5 in the mail for 5 bucks off ebay with 2 bucks shipping!!

there all complete to but space channel 5 has a 3D motion insert with Ulala's bio on the bacvk is that special, or is that normal

Gauntlet is a favorite party game of mine. Obviously Shenmue is a classic, and Capcom has lots of great 2D fighters for Dreamcast.
My DS Cover Requests: Anno 1701, A Witch's Tale, A Witch's Wish, Black Sigil, Dynasty Warriors, Flower Sun and Rain, Mage Knight Destiny's Soldier, n+, Time Ace

Skies of Arcadia, Powerstone 1 & 2, Dynamite Cop ("Sequel" to the Die Hard Arcade game), & Shenmue off the top of my head. There are plenty others as well.

Mr driller, floigan bros., msr, hydro thunder,   Jo jos bizarre adventure,   Tony hawk pro skater 2,  Matt hoffmans pro bmx, powerstone 1 & 2, chu chu rocket, virtua tennis 1& 2, shadow man, headhunter, Rez, samba de amigo, skies of Arcadia, mars matrix, dead or alive 2.......

There's also the recent releases such as bang bang racing, pink bullets, gunlord.

Dreamcast is such a fantastic little machine!

Also make sure you check out some of the ISO's you can find online for beats of rage mods.  The double dragon collection pretty much lives in one of my dreamcasts.

It can be quite addictive. Plus, it's different every time through, giving it some decent replay value ;)  I think its unique-ness really makes it worth having in every DC collection. Friends that aren't familiar with Seaman always get a kick out of it.


I don't think I saw it mentioned, but Blue Stinger is a decent Resident Evil clone and can be had for next to nothing.

ok I updated the initial post with what games I have Acquired so far also on a side note I like bad Voice Acting in games
is why I love my SEGA CD, I think it makes games more entertaining, Like how DR. Light in mega man 8 sounds like Elmer Fudd! Priceless

Yeah absolutely right!!!

Shooter are shmups for me always. I hate FPS....

Sturmwind by the way was only released two months ago. Graphically extremly impressive. Still available at

http://www.redspotgames.com/shop/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=19

They are pretty slow on shipping though. ;)

Check in game footage here:
