Which of these DC games can't be played via other means?

Most, if not all, can be played in Demul or NullDC.

There might be some that rely on the VMU to play. Can't think of any off the top of my head. Alien Front Online had a microphone I think, but it wasn't a requirement to play.

AFO's mic was only for online chat during multiplayer. The full game is playable in Demul, even the arcade version (though multiplayer is still not good enough to be considered functional).

I think what the OP meant to say is "Which of these games are Dreamcast exclusives to this day?".

Off the top of my head, Bangai-O was also a limited release on the N64, Chaos Field, Puyo Puyo Fever, Skies of Arcadia, the Sonic Adventures, and Ikaruga had a Gamecube port, Grandia II and Headhunter were ported to the Playstation 2 along with the combined Space Channel 5 games, Hydro Thunder and Re-Volt were on the N64 and Playstation, Jet Grind Radio was rereleased on Xbox Live/PSN, Rayman 2 was also on Playstation, Playstation 2, and N64, Chu Chu Rocket was downsized and ported to the Game Boy Advance Marvel vs Capcom 2 was also on the Xbox and Playstation 2, Under Defeat has a Playstation 3 HD remake, Gunlord and possibly Twinkle Star Sprites were also released for the Neo Geo, Resident Evil Code: Veronica was ported to Gamecube and Playstation 2, Crazy Taxi 1+2 and Power Stone 1+2 compilations were released for the PSP, Shikigami no Shiro II was also released on Xbox, Gamecube, and Playstation 2, Shenmue II was released on Xbox, and Phantasy Star Online 1+2 were rereleased on the Gamecube, although for both consoles the online is down.

Also worth noting that many of the later ports of various DC games to the Ps2, Xbox, etc are actually inferior to their DC counterparts.

Add RED DOG to the Dreamcast Exclusive club. Love the driving aspect of the armoured car.

Google and Wiki are an amazing thing.

Everything from your original list NOT LISTED is either DC exclusive, or is superior to other ports (imo).

Games listed below are either inferior or available on another console for considerably cheaper. There were a good 20+ games to add to your list, i'll try to find time later to mention them...elmagicochrisg might have a better list. Assuming your list is: fun / DC best or exclusive / playable to non JP speakers.

Chaos Field - shooter - DC is superior graphically to GCN. GCN is considerable cheaper. No experience w/PS2 version.

Gunlord - turrican clone (indie) - MVS is superior in that it has download capability and bugfixes.

Last Hope + Pink Bullets - shooter - MVS (same reasons as GunLord)

Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 - no idea if the xbox / ps2 versions are better, but i'd doubt it. CD Ages can help you out here.

Puyo Puyo Fever - I assume this is Puyo Puyo 4? IF so, I actually prefer the GCN version to this, but the cost is about the same.

Resident Evil: Code Veronica - GCN version is superior by most counts.

Twinkle Star Sprites - shooter - SAT version is better imo

Under Defeat - shooter - PS3 version has more slowdown than DC, DC is considerable more expensive.

Many games 480p was (at the time) exclusive to DC on consoles.
Not counting PC, modern ports, etc.

+1

RE: CV's most superior port is most def not found on the GCN. The DC version is still superior not only due to the VMU feature, but because it also supports Hi Res VGA. Last I recall, the GCN ver doesn't support progressive scan. The ultimate version of code veronica is found the DC via "Kanzenban" Complete edition which retains all the extra content that PS2 and GCN version has.

With regards abour MvC2, the other ports can't hold a candle to the DC version. They are crap at best imo.

EDIT: I didn't even know Chaos Field was ported to the PS2. Only ever played the DC, GCN and Wii version via milestone collection which I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned. I recall playing the 2 Nintendo ports back to back and vividly recall how muxh better the audio sounded on the GCN version over the wii version, especillay the music. It just sounded so much clearer. Please note tha both version were played in 480p mode via component.
