How is your Sega Dreamcast gaming going? Post whatever related to it, here.

The Sega Dreamcast, Sega's console swan-song. Many gamers praise it for it's unique library of games, and superior multiplatform title; as well as it's unique, Sega style.

Personally, I'm a big fan of the console. Still not as good as the PS1, during it's time, IMO; but I thought it was the next best console back then (as in I liked it more than N64 and Saturn). And I had one when it was new. I sold my original console when I moved on to the original XBox. But I re-bought one a few years later.

I recently added some essential titles to my Dreamcast collection, ones that many of you guys probably already have, but were pretty cool for me to add to the collection: Marvel vs. Capcom, Quake III: Arena, and Dead of Alive 2. I LOVE Marvel vs. Capcom. It's like my favorite fighting game of all-time. So it was such a cool addition. And Dead or Alive 2 just looks gorgeous for a Dreamcast game. I used to have all 3 of these games in my original Dreamcast collection, when the console was still current.

BTW, I plan on using some Mr. Clean Magic Erasers on my Dreamcast and my SNES (which is worse) to get rid of some the yellowing that's happened over time. I've heard it works wonders. I'll let you guys know how that goes.

EDIT: The Mr. Clean Magic Erasers did get a lot of dirt that I couldn't even see off of them, but unfortunately, it didn't do squat about the yellowing. Luckily, the yellowing on my Dreamcast is hardly noticable, but the SNES is bad.

I finally got hold of a copy of Magic: The Gathering for Dreamcast. I'll try it out today or tomorrow.

Mine is still kicking, though I'd like to find a second eventually in case this one dies.

both are still alive and working perfectly. found my 3rd memory card for mine recently, was quite happy as I thought it was long gone. I do have a third DC that was given to me. A neighbor knew that I liked games and recovered one from a house that had burned down. (got it from the basement part as the fire didn't do anything to the basement) The DC was pretty black from the ash and whatever else, after cleaning it, it worked like a charm. Although the smell. Can't get that burned smell to go away. (comes from the fan when you turn it on) So I don't bother with it. :P It had several controllers and memory cards and those were unharmed as well.

Been playing Sturmwind and Gunlord last week, best Turrican clone ever .

Hope to get Redux 1.5 , NEO XYX and The Ghostblade later this year .

 

 

I run it in VGA trough a scanline generator on the HDTV but nothing beats a good CRT and I should have kept one .

I've slowed down in the last year but I was buying games for it left and right after I first got the console fairly recently. A lot of cheap and affordable games. I even bought some that were more expensive because I really wanted to play them, namely Gunlord(which was new at the time), Project Justice, and Tech Romancer.

My Dreamcast is 14 years old now, and still works, though it's been a few months since I played anything on it. The last game might have been Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2.

Tbh I haven't played it since I was like 14. I'm more into older gens atm like n64 and snes, genesis, etc. Maybe if I can find a DC for cheap I'll grab one.

Maybe I should have been clearer. I sold it as faulty with four games, two controllers, a VMU and let the buyer come and collect to save on postage. It went for £0.99.

Good. Just got a copy of Half Life, Shenmue2, RE Nemesis, Cannon Spike, and a few shmups. I wish I could get my hands on a copy of Sturmwind though.

Nice. I want a copy of Sturmwind bad. I use VGA on mine too, although I'd like to pick up a Sony Wega CRt, instead of playing it on my 55in Toshiba LCD in the room. Very nice looking DC btw.

Nothing beats a real CRT .

I got a mail yesterday from Duranik that the left over stock of Sturmwind is going to Playasia.com this week , you can order again but just a limited amount will be available so if you want the game for a normal price be quick .

Here's my copy :

I just downloaded and burned a copy of Propeller Arena. Was SOOO mad when that got canceled all those years ago. That got me playing it again. Such a great console. Probably the best one for local multiplayer.
