I'm Looking for not so Popular Games

[daniel116]

so I played most of the dream's "main games"; shenmue 1 and 2, code veronica, sonic adventures 1 and 2, skies, grandia, rayman, ikaruga, soul calibur, etc.
What other games do you recommend? I'm looking for something that really captures the "feel" of the dreamcast, you know what I'm talking about, good graphics combined with weird, unique and original gameplay.

Games that I tried and didn't really like: mdk 2, draconus, omikron, time stalkers. soul reaver

Here are a few to check out:

Zombie Revenge - Awesome Beat Em' Up
Dynamite Cop - Another Awesome Beat Em' Up and one of my favorite DC Games
Ooga Booga - Awesome party game! Similar to Super Smash Bros. but much better in my opinion.
Alien Front Online - Great arcade style game.
Re-Volt - Cool racer in which you race RC cars.
18 Wheeler: American Pro Trucker - It's short but fun. It has a great arcade feel.
Toy Commander - One of the most unique DC games.
Sonic Shuffle (Only if you play multiplayer)

There are plenty of games on the Dreamcast that meet your criteria. I wouldn't say they weren't poular though, more like they aren't 'mainstream' in their appeal. Think 'alternative'
I'll try not to replicate pcwzrd13's picks. I'd suggest trying:

Jet Set Radio
Space Channel 5 parts 1&2
Lack Of Love
Project Justice
Illbleed
Napple Tale
Under Defeat
D2
Seaman
Evolution 2
Sword Of The Beserk

All those games are a bit 'different' but are still great games. They all shout DREAMCAST

Rez- basically the quintessential Dreamcast game. Imaginative, quirky and fun... I especially love the soundtrack in this game... I believe it's a must-play for any die-hard Dreamcast fan.

Great list guys! All good stuff indeed.
May I also recommend:

Cosmic Smash
Zero Gunner 2
Demolition Racer
Power Stone Series

There's no accounting for taste

yeah Omikron is an acquired taste, i for one like the game. its graphics and play mechanics sucked pretty bad though.

Ooga Booga - Awesome party game! Similar to Super Smash Bros. but much better in my opinion.
Alien Front Online - Great arcade style game.

two great games and they both may even be exclusives.

Funny, your status is 'quantic dream'...

Admittedly, graphics and play mechanics were not top notch. But as a whole, the game was very nice and very atmospheric. Cyberpunk at its best...

People that like Blade Runner, Syndicate, Syndicate Wars, Shadowrun, Deus Ex and the likes should feel right at home. And it's got Bowie for cryin' out loud!...
