<section begin=intro />As of November 2007, the [[Sega Dreamcast]] has '''688 official games''' available in its library. There are also numerous homebrew games for the Dreamcast and games continue to be released by certain companies. Games were sold in jewel cases; jewel cases in Europe were twice as thick as their North American counterparts, possibly to have space for thick, multilingual  instruction manuals.

Among the official games are [[List of Dreamcast network games|Dreamcast online games]] that could be played over the Internet. The online servers were run by [[SegaNet]], [[DreamArena]], and [[GameSpy]] networks. Online game support was particularly popular in Japan, with releases of network compatible games such as ''[[Tech Romancer]]'' and ''[[Project Justice]]''. Web browsers were developed by independent companies such as [[Planetweb]] to allow access to web sites and included features like Java, uploads, movies, and mouse support. Dreamarena came with games such as ''[[sonic:Sonic Adventure|Sonic Adventure]]'', and ''[[Chu Chu Rocket]]''.

There are five games that can still be played online. ''[[Quake III Arena]]'' and  ''[[Maximum Pool]]'' are still accessible via various servers. ''[[4x4 Evolution]]'' and ''[[Starlancer]]'' are still online through Gamespy. ''[[SEGA Swirl]]'' can be also be played online with its play by e-mail game.  ''[[Phantasy Star Online]]'' has private servers where people can use an action replay to bypass the online check and connect to the server.

===Conversions===
Being active from late 1998 to mid-2001, the Dreamcast was largely unchallenged in its role as a "next generation" console during its lifespan. Its design was such that it often made more sense to port over games from the PC than older consoles such as the [[PlayStation]] and [[Nintendo 64]], and with many already optimised for [[PowerVR]] graphics cards, PC-to-Dreamcast conversions were often simpler than with generations prior.

Several third-party publishers were starting to pull out of Nintendo 64 development by 1999, so aside from the likes of ''[[Mortal Kombat Gold]]'' and ''[[San Francisco Rush 2049]]'', very few games were converted from [[Nintendo|Nintendo's]] console. Likewise while many games were released concurrently on the PlayStation and Dreamcast, in most cases the Dreamcast conversion stemmed from PC code, meaning unlike the earlier [[Sega Saturn]], there was less of a direct relationship between rival consoles.

Sharing hardware with Sega's then-cutting edge [[NAOMI]] arcade hardware led to many accurate arcade ports, beginning with titles such as ''[[Power Stone]]'' and ''[[Crazy Taxi]]'' and still seeing conversions as late as 2007 with ''[[Karous]]'' and ''[[Trigger Heart Exelica]]''. Several older [[Model 3]] titles such were also brought to the Dreamcast in updated forms; notably ''[[Sega Bass Fishing]]'', ''[[Sega Rally 2]]'' and ''[[Virtua Fighter 3tb]]''.
