[TL]

I don't own one of these but have nearly bought one a few times, maybe you DC fans here will talk me into it!

Dreamcast 50 games

This thread is all yours to post any gibberish relating to Sega's last console!

Any retro gamer without a Dreamcast needs taking outside to be shot.

Thankyou for your honest opinion on why I should own one. I think I might just buy a PS2 instead

That qualifies you to be taken outside to be shot... by machine gun fire.

To be honest fella these are so cheap at the moment there is no excuse really. You won't be disappointed.

Loads of games that will appeal to you also.

Is that DreamcastRIP in the videos?

[onthinice]

The Dreamcast is great for emulation and it is all software. No modding unless you really feel the need.

you guys know how much I love the Dreamcast, and though its obviously long since dead and passed its glory days of receiving loads of new releases and being online etc (much like any other retro console lol  " title="Roll Eyes" /> ) its still, IMHO, the most awesome console of all time

Now Laird I know you don't like analogue sticks etc but Zapiy is right, a Dreamcast will set you back a measly £20-30 and for me the DC marks the end of the true video game era, when games weren't made first and foremost for profit but because the developers thought they were fun. Everything since then has been about commercial success and milking the consumer with constant rehashes etc. the DC was all about fun and new experiences and MAKING GAMES... not money

Games like JSR, Seaman, Shenmue, PSO, Outtrigger, AFO, Ooga Booga, Headhunter... they weren't made to make money they were true labours of love.

The DC has the most wonderful, eclectic library in history for me, its not saturated with hundreds of sequels to the same series etc its full of hundreds of unique, FUN titles, games like Illbleed, D2, Trickstyle, Powerstone, Blue Stinger, Chu Chu Rocket, Sonic Adventure, Hydro Thunder, Virtua Tennis, Speed Devils... the list could go on forever!

GET ONE NOW!! if theres any games your interested in seeing let me know and I can showcase them for you on my channel or give the vid to RVG's channel?

[TL]

I will get one at some point when I have the money. Until then I can just play my brothers!

This thread is for you Dreamcast nuts to talk about the console more than anything else.

[dcultrapro]

well I'm always happy to talk about my little white box of wonders!! Did anyone else on this forum have the DC from Launch in the UK like me? It was the first and only console I ever bought on launch day. I remember soo vividly my excitement over the upcoming releases, it was kinda surreal upon retrospect being involved in it when it was still brand new, I can remember being so ridiculously stoked when I first got and played PSO online FOR FREE over Dial up... god those were the days lol

[Shadowrunner]

I completely agree that everyone should own a Dreamcast.
I'll stop short of saying you should be shot for not having one though, a good flogging should do  lol

[dcultrapro]

lol, yeah or maybe we should swap all of his digital controllers for Analogue ones when he's not looking lol

Lol  Now that sounds like fun!
I too bought my Dreamcast on day 1 ( in Canada though, not the UK ).
It was also the first time I bought on launch day, great memories!
