Hopefully there is more to come.

Shenmue would be cool, but I want Skies of Arcadia and maybe Grandia II since the morons that ported it tied it to an old version of Quick Time so even if you get it to run none of the cut-scenes work!
Grandia II would be great! I loved that game, and the soundtrack!
Shenmue.
I never really played the 2nd and would like to.
Yeah. My Dreamcast is kinda dead so I can't even play my DC version. I have the PC version, but yeah that isn't going to work. Kinda wish I had a PS2 so I could justify picking up that version.
Believe me, the PS2 version is far inferior to the DC one, lots of slowdown in the PS2 version, not sure about the PC though.
I still have my dreamcast and I'm pretty sure it still works too.

Mine refuses to read discs of any kind. Though it is a launch model that was very well used.
Try using burned games with it. Might work.

Pretty sure IIRC, that's a known problem. You should be able to get a replacement laser for them relatively cheap on ebay still. Not that hard to replace. It's been a while since I've done any reading on them.
I might look into this week since its spring break.
If I were you, I'd do some reading up on it for sure.
I got over 50 games for my DC.
Perhaps its for the emulator needed to run those games on PC?system requirements seem high for such old titles.

Just a guess though. I've not tried any Dreamcast emulator before. Only PS2 which do require a heck lot of CPU power for certain titles.
Anyway it would be nice if they could bring over Resident Evil Code Veronica
Crossing my fingers for skies of arcadia.
Meh. I bought Legends for the Gamecube because Skies of Arcadia was all I heard from the Dreamcast fans...and was pretty much disappointed.
The graphics were *meh*, even when you consider what the Dreamcast was capable of (nearly unchanged for the Gamecube port too). Combat was repetitive matching of colors, and there werre so many encounters it got old quick. The storyline was incredibly predictable (you mean that chick with the big boobs who just appeared out of nowhere is going to betray me - the hell you say!), and really didn't engross me.
About the only awesome thing from the whole game was the ship-to-ship combat, and there wasn't enough of that to satisfy me, so I stopped about halfway through the game. The reality is: this game (much like so many on the Dreamcast) was over hyped because it had no competition.
To each his own but sounds to me like you should just avoid the whole JRPG genre.
I dunno, I liked Tales of Symphonia and Final Fantasy X (two games I played about the same time period). FFX was not good enough for me to ever want to replay it, but I did finish the game.
And even though I liked Tales of Symphonia, I will also state for the record that it's overrated - it's the only good RPG for the Gamecube, but not an instant classic.
According to the Steam forums, these are pretty shitty ports. Looks like something to avoid unless they make some big improvements.
Trivia:
Skies was developed by an all female studio.
