This has probably been asked before, but my brother and I still own a Sega DreamCast--which, during its seemingly brief moment, was pretty popular. However, I can't seem to shake the idea that the only good games for it were the ones from the Sonic Adventure series (even though I have heard of a couple other games that we missed out on for some odd reason).I was wondering if there were any RPGs that are worth searching for. (I've heard of one called... Guardia II(?) and that's about it.) We haven't used the DC in years, but the way my brother keeps it I'm pretty sure it still works perfectly, and it kind of sucks that it's in storage (even if it wasn't my favorite-est console in the world).On a side note, I don't recommend Wyvern: Cult of the Wyrm to anyone who still uses a DC from time to time; I bought that on a whim and found it was kind of...blah.

Grandia 2. That's the name of the gaem. Look around torrent sites for a self booting Grandia 2 iso, burn it, and jsut play it on the DC

skies of arcadia is nice... the GC version has more and less content, actually. it has some side quests added and it has some taken out due to the lack of the VMU.

Thanks, guys. 
*makes a note of all those games* Keep on coming with any possible games. (I suppose it was a bad idea limiting them to just RPG's, but since I'm an RPG kind of girl...)Finding them should be kind of a double-edged sword, methinks. On the one hand, I could probably find them for a good price (like if I check the flea market near town; they always have "old" consoles and games for sale) but they'll also probably be hard to find, since everyone's so focused on the newer stuff.

RPGs...Grandia 2Skies Of ArcadiaRecord Of The Lodoss WarTimeStalkerSilverDragonriders Of PernEvolution one and twoSeventh Cross EvolutionElemental Gimic GearShenmue one and twoThat's all I own, and I THINK all that there are in English. I'm probably wrong, though.As for avaliability, depending on where you live they're easy to find. Most Gamestops and EB Games still buy them, so you can get them used from there. If you live in the LA area, there's a place called GameDude that carries a pile of games from every console ever made, and their prices are reasonable.EDIT: Found their website, which has, effectively, a catalogue of their games, although I don't know about how recent it is.http://gamedude.com/

Hey, yeah, that's right! The original Soul Calibur came out on the DC (would've been cool if they brought it over to the Cube or any other console...).
