Quake 3 Arena....wasted hours playing that one. I even spent $100 on a keyboard/mouse for the dreamcast so I could play it properly on SegaNet back in the day.

Chuck Yeager's Air Combat was one of my favorite games back when I was 6 years old, I still have it installed on my old 486. I also played Doom 1 and 2 back then, Wolf 3D, Warcraft...and god knows what else.

Q3 was awesome on the PC, not on the Dreamcast, or the PS2 (it's worse on the PS2 IMO). The game failed on the console because there aren't a handful of FPS's on consoles.

The graphics were not as good on the Dreamcast (I owned a Geforce 2 GTS when they were top of the line though...

) but the game played just fine and the online community was good. We could even play with PC players if they had the DC map pack.

I played on DC online mostly because all I had at the time was dial-up. On the PC I always had 600-800ms lag. On SegaNet I was always under 100ms (usually around 40-60ms lag), not bad at all for dial-up!

Keyboard and mouse were basically a requirement though. Anyone playing with the DC controller was at a huge disadvantage.

I really liked a game called descent for replayability. I played that game for about 3 years online with Kali.

Other great ones in my book: Halflife (single player), Age of Empires, Quake 3, Battlefield 2, Soldier of Fortune 2, and of course Doom.

There are so many good games, but those are the ones that have eaten up a lot of my time (except Halflife, but it was the greatest single player I've every played...ground breaking).
