I bought a Dreamcast on my hols. I got:

Skies of Arcadia
Shenmue
Shenmue 2
Sonic Adventure

So what other games should I buy?

I was thinking of getting Sonic Adventure 2 if I can find it, and possibley Nomad Soul and Jet Set Radio.

btw I have started Skies of Arcadia and it seems realy good so far....

Not if you like mastering the cities and beating your high scores.
I played Crazy Taxi 2 for 6 months solid - with over 300 hours gametime.
The most longevity I have ever got from a game.

erm..

we rule

I haven't got that far on Arcadia yet only been playing for 2 hours because I only got home from hols on Saturday and I have to work and stuff :(

Dreamcast does indeed rock

Doh! mine was £35 but that included a free VMU...(from Gamestation)
Game didn't have any when I looked.

My PS2 has been neglected in favor of a more perfect console :)
(but only until GTA: Vice City comes out)

Well I completed all the stuff in under two hours, by the end of one week I was able to put it on the hardest diffiuclty setting, and play endlessly. I once played straight for five hours, still had over 100 seconds left, then got bored and reitred, got a stupidly high score and never played it again.

If only you cool people had bought a Dreamcast sooner.... It might not have dropped into the dark pool of failure.

Not that I'm pointing the finger of blame or anything....

Okay, I'm pointing the finger of blame. ;)

Dreamcast reigns supreme after all.

I'll do a quick poll - who thinks Dreamcast is the best:

In favour | I
Not in favour |

Dreamcast wins. Woohoo!
