I upgraded my handheld emulation setup and can now do up to Dreamcast (N64 and PSP too) on the go but I don’t really know what to try out. There are a couple of DC games I’ve played the PS2 versions of like Resident Evil: Code Veronica and Dead Or Alive 2, which I used to test out how well Redream and Flycast worked but beyond that I’m not sure what to grab 
It would be fun to give Saturn emulation a shot as well but I’m not sure if it’ll even be playable. From what I’ve read, in terms of emulation on Android devices, Saturn sits somewhere between the DC/N64/PSP tier and the Gamecube/PS2/3DS tier in hardware requirements. I figured I might as well ask for MD/Genesis recommendations to round out the Sega systems.

Not sure if there were Mega Drive versions of any of these games but here’s some I loved on the Master System as a kid:
-
Fantasy Zone
-
Spider-Man vs. The Kingpin
-
Tom and Jerry: The Movie
-
Asterix
-
Alex Kidd in Miracle World
-
Alex Kidd in Shinobi World

Soul Calibur is my favorite fighting game on the DC. Illbleed and Blue Stinger (both made by the same company & director) are fantastic survival horror b-movie games. Shenmue is a cult favorite of mine. Virtua Fighter 3TB is cool. Seaman would be a great pick for a quirky game if it didn’t require a dreamcast microphone. Sonic Adventure 1+2 best action platformer games on the DC. Jet Set Radio for that rollerblading goodness. Skies Of Arcadia is the best JRPG on the dreamcast.
Those are a few I played off the top of my head back in the day on my DC.
Oh also check out Gundam Side Story it’s a fun mecha fps game that’s pretty good for an anime game.

Extremely seconding Gunstar Heroes. Great, silly bullet hell style sch’mup. Weird and colourful. Cool simple weapon combo system. Great sound.
Soul reaver and Spiderman are very good dreamcast ports that are vastly improved over the ps1 counterparts.
I always forget how the Dreamcast shared games with both the PS1 and PS2.
jet set radiooooooooooooooooooo (and ikaruga and crazy tazi, of course) for dreamcast. if you like rail shooters theres also the panzer dragoon series for the saturn. for genesis and sega cd, theres also the shining force series which are (mostly) srpgs
Industrial Spy: Operation Espionage on Dreamcast has you play as a team who perform heists and stuff. Kind of like a Rainbow Six-Puzzle-Stealth hybrid thing with Japanese characters.
Dreamcast:
Seaman(must have working mic). Narrated by Leonard Nimoy, you take care of a Seaman, a fish/amphibian with a human face. You feed, educate, clean his tank. He’ll even get sassy with you.
It’s a very weird game, but definitely worth a try, if you can. It has its own spin on the “pet care simulator” style of things. I believe there was a sequel being planned, but if I remember right, it was cancelled over the poor reception towards the first game and the Dreamcast as a whole.
Vigilante 8: 2nd Offense for the Dreamcast is a fun vehicular combat game to mess around in. I always found the mechanics to be more satisfying than other games.
I have played Vigilante 8: 2nd Offense… but on the PS1. Maybe I should look into PS1 games that I like that got DC ports, though I will say that the Dreamcast having only 2 shoulder buttons is annoying when you’re used to a game being able to use more, like with DOA2 where you have two less options for binding button combos
Sonic 1, 2, 3 & knuckles, CD
Then sonic pinball and sonic 3d blast.
I second Sonic Spinball
Illbleed and Blue Stinger. They’re like B-movie survival horror games and weird as hell. They’re awesome. Drink a Hassy!
