I enjoy sega games a lot but I have only played 3 dreamcast games. Mostly through ports on other consoles or steam (sonic adventure 2 and a little bit of jet set radio and crazy taxi). I bought a $20 aliexpress GDEMU clone to finally get around to using my dreamcast with a dead cd reader that I bought like 6 yeas ago in a flea market. Because of that I have never played something on the dreamcast and for some reason I haven't been interested enough in any dreamcast game as to emulate it on my PC,
I'm supposed to receive my GDEMU in a couple of hours. What are the most insert credit games on the dreamcast that y'all would recommend? Or any kind of dreamcast recommendations would be welcomed as well!
What games should I be downloading right now?
right now I'm interested in checking out the dreamcast port of Cleopatra Fortune and some of the atomis wave ports but other than that I'm blanking on what games I should ~~steal~~ get.
Oh and also, should I get a vmu? my dreamcast came with a generic memory card. I like the idea of owning a vmu because they look very cute but I don't know if they are that necessary.
You might be interested to know that a good many DC games still retail their online functionality, including multiplayer, via alternate means: https://dreamcastlive.net/connection-guide/
On that note, Chu Chu Rocket's a simple game but a good one that, while not entirely un-ported, is not commonly available: there was a GBA version produced right as that system came out, and a decade-old smartphone version that's been delisted forever, but never an authentic port of the Dreamcast version for home platforms. It's a shame, as it's such an obvious "put this on everything, everywhere" party game that you'd have expected Sega to milk forever, but I suppose it'd be too much up-front work, being a DC game and all.
(There's also a sequel on Apple Arcade, which I never got around to playing.)
I’ve also heard so much about PSO and have never experienced it. Maybe if there’s enough interest it might be fun to get some forum people together to play? Or maybe I should just play PSO2 lol
@“saddleblasters”#p65051 get some forum people together to play?
That could be fun, I'd be down for that!

@“saddleblasters”#p65051 Or maybe I should just play PSO2 lol
I tried to play it like a year ago but bounced out of it like right after the tutorial, I guess nothing of what I played compelled me enough to keep going
@“whatsarobot”#p65046 just looked at the prices of the Dreamcast microphone and I guess I'll play that one on an emulator lol
(they are not thaaat expensive, but I don't want to spend $35~ just for the microphone)

@“gsk”#p65050 there was a GBA version
Just the other day my brother was channel surfing on my MiSTer and he randomly landed on the GBA version of Chu Chu Rocket and we ended up playing it for like 3 hours. I'll check the Dreamcast version for sure.
I am absolutely amazed nobody has mentioned Cosmic Smash yet. It perfectly embodies that clean, conceptual, seemingly-non-commercial-even-though-it-was-incredibly-popular-in-commercial-works-of-the-time style that was so popular in the 90s.
@“Video_Game_King”#p65121 It was on Syzygy‘s list and that’s actually the game I'm most looking forward to playing , it looks like my kind of game!!
That being said I misinterpreted an email I received and I don't have my gdemu yet lol
I thought it had already been delivered and that it was already in my po box, and since my brother was doing me the favour of picking up my mail I thought I was gonna get it yesterday. But it turns out the email was saying that it had already arrived to the U.S. not my p.o box, oops!
