I have always wanted a Dreamcast, I do not even know what games I would want for it. At this point I am worried if I get one it will kill the illusion of how awesome the system isis.
A significant chunk of the Dreamcast's library is nearly pixel-perfect arcade ports, since the machine itself is basically a slightly cut down instance of Sega's Naomi arcade hardware. And almost everything that isn't is an absolute banger classic. There are very few duds in the Dreamcast's entire lineup. The situation is basically the reverse of the N64's library.
The only games i remember for the N64 were Star Wars racer (i got the one that came with that cartridge), golden eye, and another star wars game, maybe shadows of the empire?
You want Crazy Taxi at a minimum but damn near every game is a legit classic. The odds of getting a bad game are lower than any other system ever made but you need a CRT for the light gun to work
Outrigger wasn't that great. It was an interesting idea, sure, but the gameplay is very unusual especially for the Dreamcast controller.
Start with Soul Calibur and Phantasy Star Online, and Metropolis Street Racer, I spent more time with those than anything else.
It's worth noting that the system is easy to emulate, I have it running on my Steam Deck.
Soul Calibre has me sold, that and Mortal Kombat are my top two arcade games.
