Dreamcast Gems

[Aton7]

I have been collecting for the Dreamcast for a few months, but it has taken a backseat to other consoles so I've only picked up a few games. A month or two ago I got Power Stone 2 and Cannon Spike (for $40 total!), and after finishing up some games I was working on, I just played both for the first time yesterday and I love them! Cannon Spike is extremely fun and it makes it so much cooler that you can play as Megaman. So, what are either your personal favorite DC games or the best games for the DC?

[Blumpkin]

It's going to sound cheesey, but I love Hydro Thunder. My wife also suggest Skies of Arcadia.

[Arseen]

Favorite was Sonic Adventure.

And Street Fighter 3 games were good too.

Were they both complete?  I got myself a copy of Cannon Spike but I had to pay a pretty penny to get it. 

Some obvious ones to look into are

Grandia 2, Shenmue and Skies of Arcadia...but others I've enjoyed playing were E.G.G. Elemental Gimmic Gear and Gunbird 2 amoung the vast amount of other shmups lol

There are some real quirky titles on the Dreamcast that I love to play.

Both Areowings are great flight simulators (if a bit limited)
Super Runabout (You can race a tank!)
Omikron (Freaking David Bowie, dude)
Stupid Invaders (Old fashion point and click a la Sam and Max)
Ooga Booga (Wacked out multiplayer)
Starlancer (pretty good PC port)
Speed Devils (actually a good racier with a gambling element)
Jet Grind Radio (just get it...no questions asked)

Of course there are the obligatory RPG's (Skies, Shenmue, Evolution, Seventh Cross), fighters (Plasma Sword, Power Stone, Street Fighter, Soul Caliber) both Sonic titles, the 2K sports are good for their time. Capcom gave the system a lot of love.

I used to love playing this game called Time Stalkers.

Edit: And another RPG I played called Evolution.

My DC is pretty much just for the amazing shmups.  I actually need to get the 2 newest shmup releases for it.

Hands down 1 of 2 of the best wrestling games on the Dreamcast. Import is well worth it. Or you can always google the translated version  .

Shameless plug.

For me, the DC took over where the Saturn left off, and that is 2D fighting madness!

The dreamcast is one of the most nostalgic systems for me and there are a ton of awesome games for it. Its too bad that it had a short lifespan. Hear are some of my favorites:

Sonic Adventure 1 and 2
Powerstone 1 and 2
Soul Caliber (of course)
Wacky Races (cart racing game; quite the hidden gem)
Shenmue
Gunbird 1 and 2 (awesome shmups)
Mars Matrix (hardest shmup i've ever played)
Phantasy Star Online (first console game i ever played online)

there are many, many more but these are just some of my more favorite games

[Violet Rosery]

I have to recommend these two Japanese games.
"L.O.L: Lack Of Love"  I am not sure how to describe it, but here is a review. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pARffij0KaA
"Cool Cool Toon" It's just a fun little rhythm game.

[Ozzy_98]

If you have a Dreamcast running, why would you use it for anything other than Phantasy Star Online?!

[IronPatriotTN]

I just picked up Gauntlet Legends for the Dreamcast for ($0.50 cents). Very good sound and graphics.
Plus it's a multiplayer game or solo.
