Dreamcast Puzzle and Strategy Games

Post by GraffitiTavern »

Hi! Got a Dreamcast over the summer, trying to compile a list of games to get/burn. I think I have a good idea of what platformers and fighting games to get, but are there any recommendations on puzzle and strategy games? For some reason I've been on an arcade puzzle kick recently.
I already know about and want to get:
- Wetrix+
- ChuChuRocket
- Sushi Bar(Atomiswave port)
...and I of course already have a copy of Sega Swirl on my Browser disc

Any other good puzzle or strategy games? Hombrew, indie, or official are all fine by me.
Specifically one thing I am wondering about is what version of Columns to get, would my best bet be emulating a Genesis version of Columns III or getting the English path of Sakura Wars Columns 2? Is there a fangame/port I don't know about? Good bleems?

Thank you!

EDIT: Didn't realize my post was going in new member introductions, so hi everyone, I occasionally also post on AtariAge, not the biggest retro guy, but I love gaming history and doing DIY collector stuff(so Dreamcast is kind of perfect). Based out of Western PA, looking forward to getting to try more Dreamcast games!

Regarding strategy games, the only one that I know and is decent is Conflict Zone. You will enjoy but only if you are quite into the genre. There is also Hundred Swords by Smilebit, but only the Japanese edition for the DC. Getting the translated PC game makes much more sense, it is quite cheap on eBay too.
