Mine was Skies of Arcadia - I know it also came out on GameCube, but I first played it on the Dreamcast. It was also (somehow) my first experience with a jrpg.

Nester DC. My first introduction to a Dream Cast and wow, what a ride. It was amazing being able to replay all the games from the NES that I thought had vanished into the past.
This was 2001-02ish, so well before streaming and online emulators were really well known.
Since I don't see it in here anywhere and my friends & I spent a stupid amount of time with it:
Rival Schools
📢 JET GRIND RADIOOOOOOOOO 🎶🎹🔊
Also both Sonic Adventures, Virtual On Oratorio Tangram, Crazy Taxi and I think I remember Sega GT being pretty good too?
The controller
Sonic adventure 1 & 2. Put a ton of time into both of those games.
Also enjoyed wacky races with friends.
Marvel vs Capcom 2 Crazy taxi 2 Basically every game for this system was boss
I was just singing the praises of Armada here a few days ago
House of the dead 1 & 2
Shenmue 2
Ikaruga
Rez
Mr Driller
Chu chu rocket
And everything else in this thread
Off the top of my head.

I almost failed out of college thanks to Soul Calibur.
Crazy Taxi was fantastic.
Metropolis Street Racer was utterly brilliant and I remember being annoyed when I heard the sequel was going to that new Microsoft console called XBox. That was of course Project Gotham Racing.
And Rez which I love so much I bought it remastered on Xbox360, again on PS4 and one final time on Quest 2.
D2 has been absolutely nuts
MDK2 - Found it randomly and it was a ton of fun.
DOA2 - Some... Fond... Memories. Put the disc in a PC for extra fun.
Army Men: Sarges Heroes - Just good classic fun
Evolution 1 & 2 - My first randomly generated dungeon crawlers.
Skies of Arcadia
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver
Wetrix
I always thought Soul Reaver played so much better on the Dreamcast then it did on the PlayStation. Great game.
Strangely Gex played better on the 3DO than on the PlayStation as well.
Sonic Adventure 2
Crazy Taxi
Hydro Thunder
Gotta give some sports game love too.
NFL 2K, enjoyed playing it with friends a lot more than madden at the time.
Fire Pro Wrestling D - absolutely one of the greatest wrestling games of that generation IMHO. I remember my friends and I trying to figure out WTH we were doing for awhile before getting the hang of it.
Wacky Races (2000)
Resident Evil Code Veronica, House of The Dead 2, and Sonic Adventure were my jam.
Shenmue! :D
San Francisco Rush 2049 for me. Looked so much better than on the other consoles, too.
Also Crazy Taxi. So much Crazy Taxi.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Day after day, your home life's a wreck
The powers that be just breathe down your neck
You get no respect, you get no relief
You gotta speak up and yell out your piece
So, back off your rules, back off the jive
'cause I'm sick of not living to stay alive
Leave me alone, not asking a lot
I don't wanna be controlled
That's all I want

Chu Chu Rocket!
Jet Grind Radio
Resident Evil: Code Veronica
Power stone, Ikaruga, Rez
I played the power stone demo a bunch on my Dreamcast as a kid.
I love Ikaruga from an aesthetic, mechanical, and presentation perspective.
But it's been 23 years and damned if I still don't suck at that game. This coming from someone who can fairly reliably at least see the final boss of Progear on one credit.
I gave up on DoDonPachi. Same thing, 20 years of just grinding and sticking with it, even did the classic "final final true boss has one hit point and I choke" move.
Now I'm 49, my reactions will never be what they were when I was younger, the dream is over.
The visuals and music are what kept me coming back to it for years hah, but I've only beat it scrub style with the assistance of ROM rewinds. Some games are designed to eat quarters, I think Ikaruga was designed to drain paychecks.
