Okay so here's the deal. I was going to pick up a Dreamcast for $20 from a guy on craigslist (comes with cords and 1 controller, good deal???). I started to second guess myself though as I own all the other consoles around that time (N64, PS2, GCN, Xbox). It seems like all the good games got ports to one of these systems and given that I've never really played a Dreamcast I will always tend to favor the other consoles. Are there enough good exclusive games that a Dreamcast is worth owning for me? I am not going to buy any download only titles so I would still consider a game ported to PSN/XBLA to be exclusive. Multiplayer is not a likely scenario for me in the near future. Only games I really see that interest me that I can't get elsewhere: Shenmue Jet Grind Radio (Although I still have to play my copy of Jet Set Radio Future) ChuChu Rocket Power Stone? Sounds like it's only really good with a buddy. I know some of you must be big Dreamcast fans so I'm asking you to sell me on the system. |

Grandia II, other ports kinda suck. Good fighters on it, and better controller for playing PSO than the GC controller. Capcom vs. SNK is great too. But I mean, for $20, you shouldn't need a reason to buy it, you should go buy it, now! go go go! and find a VGA output box too, the games look much better on it. |

Cannon Spike. Nuff said. Really though, I'm not much of an expert on the Dreamcast, I only own like 10 games for it. However, I have had TONS of fun playing Power Stone 2 and Cannon Spike by myself, both of which I believe are exclusive to the DC. For me, Cannon Spike alone is worth getting a system for. It's basically an arcade-y shmup featuring Capcom characters (one of which is Megaman!). It feels very much like an arcade game and looks great on the Dreamcast. It's not a really in depth or long game, but I personally think the pure fun of playing outweighs all of its negatives. And like Ozzy said, for $20 you can't go wron. |

The DC doesn't require modification to play "backups"*, so I suggest burning copies of anything that sounds interesting and then buying legit copies of what you end up liking ;) *I've heard people say that later models won't play CD-Rs, but I have personally yet to experience this ??? |

^ dreamcasts are pretty good about playing anything you shove in them lol. I personally love the fighting games on it, had some good titles. |
