The Dreamcast is great for arcade-perfect ports of fighters and shooters but the controller is terrible for them. Invest in a DC-compatible arcade pad if that sort of thing interests you.

Otherwise look into SEGA's own library for the system, they released a lot of unique games such as Space Channel 5, Jet Set Radio, Shenmue, etc.

If you're a horror fan, the system has unbeatable ports of RE2 and 3, plus Code Veronica, along with the very unique exclusive Illbleed. Capcom supported the Dreamcast pretty well, and there's a couple good racing games on it as well.

If the idea of playing a long-defunct online game on a discontinued console appeals to you, it is still possible to play Phantasy Star Online on a Dreamcast and connect to the Internet through it. Look it up online and consider getting a DC-compatible keyboard.

Finally, it has an arcade-perfect port of The House of the Dead 2, which makes for a great experience if you can nab a compatible gun controller.

I felt ripped off for my parents because the Dreamcast library was so gay. The vast majority of it was arcade style trash and ultra grind-heavy JRPG weab shit. Surprisingly, one of the worst games on that system was something called Industrial Spy: Operation Espionage. I liked puzzle stuff growing up so I played the Myst games and Tomb Raider, so I thought I-Spy was going to be interesting. I could not have been more wrong.

Also some Dreamcast systems have non-existent antipiracy protection, to where all you need is decent image burning software and a basic CD-R.

Two words brotha.
Crazy. Taxi.
That game is so much fun and Crazy Taxi 2 is good too. CT is one of my favorite games in general. Other good DC pickups include the obvious stuff. Shenmue, SA1 and 2, Jet Grind Radio, and Skies of Arcadia are all pretty much must haves. If you REALLY want to do a deep dive into the DC library you can set up DreamPi and play games online again, in which case I strongly recommend PSO. Another good one is Samba De Amigo but the maraca controllers loose are roughly $60 and a CIB set is roughly $100 so only go for it if you'rd gonna gocus on being more hardcore with DC stuff after a while.

I can live without a JSRF remaster. Microsoft's been good about backwards compatability so even if I decided to buy whatever their newest console is I could still play the original disc.
