Best set of games for a new Dreamcast collector

Post#1 » Mon Jun 06, 2016 9:58 pm

Hi everyone, I'm new to the dreamcast world and have decided to pick one up, so in short what are some of the best games to get as soon as possible and also what are some great cheaper games I could pick up. Thanks everyone, I know this may be broad but I like pretty much every style of game (But I am a huge fan of RPG's) so if there are RPG's out there that are cheaper what is there? PS I know of Shenmue... who doesn't. Thanks guys!!!

There are not many rpgs for Dreamcast. Basically you need Skies of Arcadia and Grandia II.

Welcome.

That is a broad and (probably the most) widely covered topic so don't expect too many replies :roll:

Start from #1 and work your way up. The order of these lists are always debatable but it should be a good start. 1-30 are pretty accurate and should keep you happy.

Good list OGDCFAN pointed you to. But, I'd prioritize Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver! Not an RPG strictly speaking...but a very dark action adventure. Fans of Dark Souls need apply.

RPG-wise, Skies of Arcadia and Grandia II are the crown jewels of "traditional" RPGs on the Dreamcast, but there are others as well. Have fun building your DC library!

Silver is a good hack n slash rpg. Story is as straightforward as a fantasy game can get but its still fun.

And let's not forget about Shadow Man, which is in many way the better game of the two

And if you want something that's a challenge, thre's always RoLW :lol:

Also let's not forget Pier Solar if you want a classic rpg, and I believe Orion is making a new one as well
