I was thinking Space Channel 5, too. Part 2 is quite hard to find for the DC, but it's also on the Dreamcast Collection for the XBox 360.

And I think the PS2.

But those consoles don't matter in this case.

I'll toss in another vote for Space Channel 5. My wife and I played that to death back in the day, and it's still fun to play today.

Also, if your girlfriend is any good with a keyboard, I recommend Typing of the Dead - it's tons of fun. You'll want a couple of DC keyboards so you can play together. I find that people who don't know how to type (i.e. they use the ol' "hunt and peck"), though, find it too frustrating.

Too bad we never got the trance vibrator for DC... :mrgreen:

Hmm, modding vibrators for videogame purposes. Might be an untapped goldmine... :lol:

Imagine a horror game where you can feel your heartbeat in the purr-u purr-u device.

The more your character dies, the more the thing starts vibrating.

:lol:

Could get messy if she starts asking you to get torn up by zombies on purpose though...

Chu-chu rocket can be a lot of fun when played multiplayer. And it is very cheap to buy.

Phantasy Star Online is always good, especially if you can get it online. Go for Version 2 of it, simply because there's very little reason to get the original.

Other than that, I'd recommend the following games myself:
Skies of Arcadia
Grandia II
Evolution
Evolution II

It is!
Also I know if anyone's mentioned Jet Set Radio, but that's pretty funky. Although I might be controversial and say the sequel on the original xbox is the better game. Basically if she likes weird games, the Dreamcast is the home of weird games. You could also try Seaman or something
Game over yeaaaaaaaaaah!
