i wanna play house of the dead

Typing of the Dead is pretty fun too.

Really there's no game on the Dreamcast over like $15 so you can get your money's worth.

The original?  Good luck.  That thing is rare rare rare.  You can, however, get House of the Dead 2 & 3 on the Wii.  I have it.

That's a rip-off!
You can get the 2 superior sequels on the Wii in one package for 15 bucks in some places now!  20 dollars just for one inferior game, even if it is enjoyable, just isn't worth it.

Or, you know you could just get them from a rom site and just burn them to a disc since the Dreamcast has no copyprotection

You do have to play it on a CRT TV though.

Actually it's amazing how accurate and fast it is.  It's even better at aiming than Darkside Chronicles, and that game was plenty accurate to begin with.

I'll give you Shenmue and Marvel vs. Capcom 2. Half-Life was just a prototype that never made it to market, and Space Channel 5 Part 2 and Shenmue 2 were never released on the Dreamcast in North America.

As for Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, I'd never pay over $15 for either and can always find it somewhere in that price range. Not that I would want to play either one, but whatever.

The Striker system isn't fun man. SNK tried to compete with Marvel Vs Capcom 2 and they failed very very hard.

It really didn't help that SNK put out Garou Mark of the Wolves around the same time. That game is flat out amazing and 99 just intercourse ing sucks.
