Topic: I just bought a Dreamcast, what's still good?

Never had one before and pretty much bought it on impulse for cheap along with Jet Grind Radio. And since I never had one I pretty much ignored its catalogue unless something was ported over to the other consoles after it went kaputtsville.

I plan on picking up Powerstone 2, Chu Chu Rocket and Typing of the Dead, but after that I'm not so sure. So I turn to you and ask that you help guide me in the right direction!

As I said, I only paid attention to DC games when they wound up elsewhere, so I've already got copies of Space Channel 5 and Resident Evil: Code Veronica X and Rez HD. Shenmue is an obvious choice, but I unfortunately don't really have the time to sink into a billion hour epic between work and my stupidly long backlog.

So what's held up with age? Is it worth checking out Sonic Adventure? Any crazy overlooked gems?

Sonic Adventure = Heck yes. Same with SA2.
I personally love Sonic Shuffle but that's just me. Ecco the Dolphin is another good one. Wow, there's quite a few but I can't remember them off the top of my head.

Ehh you can beat Shenmue in a reasonable amount of time.

What's "reasonable"?

I honestly do not remember the actual time as I have not had a Dreamcast in several years. Its not epic long like a Final Fantasy game or anything.

Ah, see my understanding was that it was a massive game. Certainly cost enough to develop. I take it you mean just a straight shot through the main story and not side quests and whatnot?

ILL bleed? Gradia 2 (if you had the time, Sword of the berserk?(don't remember much about it though), Maken X?, Fur Fighters?, Space Channel 5?, Sonic Shuffle? (marioparty type game. Have to think of more. I got Caution: Seaman(talk with a manfish)

I looked up Shenmue is a good title.
Power Stone and Power Stone 2 are also good choices.

Zombie Revenge. Don't recall how good Blue Stinger was.

Blue Stinger was horrible
Shenmue, Unreal Tournament, Sword of the Berzerk, Grandia 2

Jet Grind Radio and Crazy Taxi are also good, but I never got into them

If you like shumps, Mars Matrix is a must...... if you have a good DC arcade stick.
Record of Lodoss War is a great Diablo style RPG worth picking up also.

Jet Grind Radio and Crazi Taxi. Two of the greatest games of all time. Sonic Adventure is really dated--the camera is really, really awful. It's almost unplayable, in my opinion. Couldn't reccomend that one.

EDIT: Ah, you bought it with Jet Grind Radio. Well played, sir. Well played.

Two words: Soul Calibur.

Marvel vs Capcom 2 and Soul Calibur

Stay away from from Draconus Cult of the Wyrm.

Defiantly get Crazy Taxi. And both Sonic Adventure games. I'm not sure about anything else though.

Dude stole what I was going to say. Get these two titles and Power Stone for sure!

Grandia 2 (Awesome RPG) & Outtrigger (Awesome 4-player 3rd Person/ 1st person Shooter) & Resident Evil: Code Veronica.

Edit: Oh and Head Hunter.

'EGG: Elemental Gimmick Gear' is a must own!!!!

Thanks all! Haven't even heard of a lot of these games, so I'm excited. I'll see what's available at my local retro game shop.
