I'd have to say pretty much every game that supports more than one player. I don't think the Dreamcast has one multiplayer game that I've played and thought "this is terrible."

Not really the answer you're looking for, but you really can't go wrong with whatever you choose.

Sonic Shuffle. It's like Mario Party with Sonic characters.

For 3 to 4 players, Powerstone 2 is very good fun and doubles at Virtua Tennis 1 or 2 is good too.

Toy Commander is great and both Dead Or Alive 2 and Marvel Vs Capcom allow tag team fighting.

I was also going to suggest some driving games like Wacky Races or San Francisco Rush but I have bad memories of the framerate being pretty poor (for Wacky Races anyway). As mentioned above Le Mans 24hrs is a very good game.

Quake III is great, unless you have a small telly and the Worms games are good for 4 people due to it being turn based.

For party mayhem though, I think Chu Chu Rocket is the best.

There's always football games too, of which I'd say UEFA Dream Soccer is probably the best (but by no means anywhere near as good as Pro Evo :(

Theres a list of 4 player games over at DC Emu: http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=14408

Hope it helps.

4x4 Evo is fun online, and since is a crossplatform game you'll always have someone online even though the game is old.

I've played it a few and didn't really enjoy it. :|

I would definately recommend NFL Blitz 2000 and Rush 2049!

It's really not that bad. It's mainly because there isn't a mario that people don't want to touch it. Get 3 buddies and a case of beer and you'll have tons of fun.

You need a game like that to entertain your friends? Mine are pleased with the beer alone :P

since I own pretty much all dreamcast games I can say these are by far the best (4player) multiplayer games:

rush 2049
virtua athlete 2k
virtua tennis 2
propellor arena
toy commander
ooga booga
powerstone 2
come in peace and leave in pieces
