not sure about phantasy star, but i know you can pick up a copy of Sonic Adventure DX on the computer from target for only $10 AU, would be much cheaper then buying a DC and hunting down old games. if you're going to get one anyway though, id definitely recommend: virtual on and jet set radio (jet grind radio in the US i think), as well as sonic adventure 2
D2 and the original Soul Calibur are the two main reasons I keep my Dreamcast. It was also where I played House of the Dead 2 before the Wii version came out.
It looks like crap on a high definition television though, even with the component cables. So if you have a standard definition television set aside for it that would be good.
Yes, Phantasy Star Online was hack 'n slash RPG. You can play it without online connection. Do you like fighting game? You should get Soul Calibur, Dead or Alive 2, Project Justice, Marvel vs Capcom 1-2, Capcom vs SNK 1-2, King of Fighters 1999 Dream Match, and others.
Its an old system, so you should make sure you got a line on a lot of games, maybe a local store or website before you pay for it. Its definitely underrated, deserved more attention then it got.

Good suggestion, I made this mistake and was forced to E-bay, not the end of the world, but still annoying.

Sonic Adventure 1 & 2
Resident Evil 2, 3, & CV
Crazy Taxi

those and every other game. dreamcast was the best system i ever played. along with the awesome graphics for the time and games, the controller was my favorite ever. i recommend any game you can find.
also... Cannon Spike Bust-A-Move 4 Power Stone Power Stone 2 Street Fighter III Skies of Arcadia Grandia 2 Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future Resident Evil: Code Veronica
Wasn't Dreamcast the most technically proficient console then? I mean, I heard it had the best graphics, but failed to continue on due to not being sold in some stores, or not being as well known.

It didn't sell well because, of the Sega CD and Saturn. With that reputation people weren't stayig with Sega and it's consoles which led to the downfall. The Dreamcast was revolutionar, it was the first console to feature internet connection via a built in 56k modem. The VMU memory unit offered more interactivity in your games like in Resident Evil 2 it would tell you your condition as well as your remaining ammo so you wouldn't have to keep checking and in Sonic Adventure you could take the VMU out when your console is off and play minigames on the memory unit itself. The disks (I think they were called GCU) offered more space than the CD's the PS1 used and the cartridges of the N64.
The DC also didn't do well because, it became overshadowed by the PS2 and GC when it came out.
Yeah, the Dreamcast was pretty sweet, I can see why the new consoles like PS2 and Xbox would use some of its ideas (but for some reason, leave some good ones). If only the Dreamcast 2 had come out. If only. I probably wouldn't have bought it, but still.
They should have these things on the next next gen consoles (some people still call today's consoles next gen). I'd love to have a full screen but still be able to see my health and the like.
yea dreamcast is pretty cool if sega could stille be making consoles today maybe one day they will recover. once they make a good sonic game on these new systems and it sells really good then maybe then will they make a recaovery. but right now capcom or EA or activision have a better chance of releasing a console than sega. ITs pretty lame but i love sega
