I picked up NFL 2K2 and NBA 2k2 for $1.99 each. That’s always at the top of any Dreamcast library.

The most I’ve paid for any DC game this week (got myself a used console this week for $40) was SF Rush 2049 for $25. Soul Calibur ran me $15, and everything else was $10 or less (Virtua Tennis, Crazy Taxi, Toy Commander, Hydro Thunder).

When you get a Dreamcast – and every gamer should have one – start with NFL/NBA 2K2. That’s just a given, just like Soul Calibur. Then grab Virtua Tennis, Rush 2049 and Chu Chu Rocket for the 4-player action. After that you can spread out and get the other 20-30 must-have DC classics, before fanning out to the merely-good ones.

Oh, cannot forget DC’s ace card – the emulators! Get Atari800 DC for 4-player M.U.L.E. You’ll be glad you did.

Interesting note, u can use the fishing controller like a wiimote, and it works suprisingly well too, just another innovation from sega that nintendo ripped off lol

San Francisco Rush 2049 deserves a place on the list. It’s a port and was ported a few times over, but the Dreamcast version is generally the best (as most arcade conversions are) and is a great game in its own right. I think it’s around $10 now.

While Samba De Amigo is technically cheap, the maracas are not. They’re cheaper than they used to be, but they’ll still run the total price to $50+. It isn’t worth playing the game without them. I’d say the same for the fishing games, but it’s possible to get a fishing controller and game for around $20.

I love music on these games. I especially like Morrowind’s soundtrack.

There are many excelent games missing from that list but that’s probably because they cost more than US$10…. WAY more than US$10, in the lines of US$70 like Under Defeat.

Excellent list. Wish only the prices in greece were so low too… Still, there are obvious analogies. Thanks!
