    Dreamcast, few questions.

    Everytime I turn on my DC, it asks to set the time. How do I stop this shit? I have two VMU's inserted into my controllers that never get removed with fresh batteries in both. I'm guessing its a system battery within the unit thats old?

    What are some must-have games I should get for the system. Currently I have Grandia II and Skys of Arcadia downloaded. And I'm trying to get some emulators working on it.

    Thanks.

    Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Power Stone 2, Sonic Adventure 1 & 2, Mr Driller, Chu Chu Rocket, Shenmue 1 & 2, Jet Grind Radio and Crazy Taxi. All I can think of now, but I probably missed quite a few gems.

    All those are good games, I liked record of loddess war and sword of berserk as well.

    MVC2 being the best one.

    Can't help you with the first question, but my favorite games that haven't been mentioned already included Air Force Delta and Virtua Tennis. I never play sports games but for some reason I got really addicted to VT. I wouldn't call it a must-have, though.

    Air Force Delta was a really well made Jet Fighter game (Prequel to Air Force Delta Strike, minus the anime look). It's got a lot of hours of game-play, and it gives you incentives to replay the story again for better jets (like the Harrier and classified jets [classified at the time, at least]).

    I think the sequel for the PS2 was a bit more well-rounded in both story and game-play/customization. If you are looking solely for RPG'ish games then I can't help you any further, however.

    I miss my Dreamcast. Many hours spent playing Power Stone 2 with friends. Good times.

    Edit: Shenmue was the shit too, never got to play Shenmue 2.....

    This, seriously. I can't stress how much I love Jet Grind Radio. Shenmue is also a great game. Phantasy Star Online if you can find a copy, is a lot of fun, one of my favorite DC Games.

    soul caliber

    IMO Sonic adventure 2 is pretty borderline I didn't like it compared to Sonic Adventure 1 nothing they will do will ever top that again. I don't even get this sonic were wolfshit.

    I realize these were already mentioned, but Powerstone with friends is pure win. Shenmue is a great game, and I would highly recommend it (Never did play part 2 /emo).

    Soul Caliber was pretty good, but I'd imagine pointless in getting if you already have the newer versions. Virtueal On is a must have, least if your into that sort of thing. Marvel vs Capcom is a classic.

    Oh sh*t I never realized Rival Schools was on the DC!?! Loved that game back on the PS1.

    Aside from what's been mentioned here, there's:

    "Ikaruga" (if you don't have the NGC or XBL version)
    "Resident Evil CODE: Veronica" (again, if you haven't played it elsewhere)
    "Tennis 2K2" (AKA "Virtua Tennis 2")
    Evolution 1 & 2 (they're enjoyable, simplistic dungeon crawlers)
    "Charge'N Blast"
    "Demolition Racer: No Exit"
    "Virtua Fighter 3tb"
    "Zero Gunner 2"
    "Daytona USA 2"
    "Bangai-O"
    "Crazy Taxi 2"

    That's a good amount for now, I think.

    EDIT: Oh, and: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFF5WWJZ65c

    However, before you try replacing the battery, leave your Dreamcast running for a few hours. The CR-2032 battery it has is actually a rechargeable, and there's a chance yours has no charge right now, but isn't actually dead. If you can charge it up and it stores the date afterward, it doesn't need to be replaced.

    Adding some more games,

    Sega Rally (i think is 2, but not 1)
    Sega Sea Bass (with fishing rod controller), one of the best fishing game imo.
    Virtual striker good too if you like it, however i always suck in this game


    too bad my dreamcast died after i bought the sega sea bass last year. Probably gonna buy a new DC to play again.

    No reason to play PSO on the DC when you can play Blue Burst on the PC now.

    Semi show-off pic but most of these games are worth playing.

    Edit: as for your question, I have no clue.

    Lack of Love is supposed to be a very, very good game. Though supposedly also incredibly difficult to get a hold of.

    Very strange too. This review will give you a good idea of what it's about.
