"So sit back and enjoy the sweet beep of your dead VMU battery." Heh, I couldn't count the number of times I heard that beep.

I talked to one of the idiots before they did that. They really do intend to rank every single game. Including Shemue

I loved my dreamcast =)......Power Stone > Smash Brothers

Also, Seaman was some creepy sh!t!

 

[BDawg]

Is it just me or do many of the Dreamcast games look as good if not better than PS2 games?

DOA and Soul Calibur are still amazing.

Is there still a source for VGA boxes?

 

[JeffreyLebowski]

I remember Crazy Taxi. Sooooooo much fun. we would play it for hours.

<- Goes to ebay to find Dreamcast system and crazy taxi.

eBay more than likely. If you have an EB Games nearby they may still have some DC stuff, but that's changing more and more. Only a couple around me still have DC stuff.

The DC did die to fast. I've had mine since launch day and I can't remember how many hours I've dumped into that console. Rez FTW!

 

[MetalMat]

Blah, I am goin play my TG16.

Actually, I have a dc in the living room, I might go play some crazy taxi

lesson: don't give dreamcasts to nephews

I still import Japanese DC games that come out. It may be dead here in the US (Apparently however this is somewhat of a revival) but Japan still once in a while publishes a really good game for it.

Mostly shooters though, but who cares I love the DC

Awesome

Took my dreamcast out a bit over a month ago, havent stopped playing since.
Skies of Arcadia FTW!
and now im discovering so many fun new games as I...uhh....expand my game library.

 

[SZLiao214]

Hmm soul caliber and DOA2 were my favorites. Great games to play with friends.

 

[MajorMullet]

Virtua Tennis is my favorite game of all time. I'm really surprised that my DC hasn't burned through the disc yet

My Dreamcast mysteriously stopped reading discs about 6 months ago, then I found some site that told you how to take it apart and change the height of the laser or something like that.

I followed the instructions, put 'er back together and now it's as good as new. :thumbsup:

Wow, Skies of Arcadia, I looooooooved that game. I still have my DC, I should play it again. Too bad I sold Skies of Arcadia.

Fur Fighters was the best console FPS ever. Dreamcast FTW!

Dammit all to hell. I thought I knew exactly where it was in the garage, but I'll be damned if I can find it. I have a feeling my wife "purged" it in our recent move.

 

[Inspector Jihad]

DC FTW!!!!!

 

[kaioshade]

Such a console. I rememebr getting it. And when i first popped ikaruga in that console. I dont think i slept for about 2 days after that.

Damn straight. Had a friend over a week ago for some gaming on the DC. He was shocked, I think expecting to see older-gen graphics quality. It certainly didn't fail on its merits, because it's still a fine system today. Thing is, Dave didn't realise what a good system it was, despite being into games, and there's where the problem was.

All the best party games were DC games. IMO, consoles are best for party games. It follows that the DC was the best console. I had a callous on my thumb from Soul Calibur battles every Friday night for over a year.

House of the Dead and Space Channel 5!!

I got mine just as it was in its death throws. They had so many rebates going on, I ended up making $50 on the deal. Its currently sitting in a cabinet in the living room: Dreamcast, 2 controlers, 2 lightguns, two vibration packs and a fishing rod

 

[MustISO]

I still have mine, packed up in the original box. I got it new for like $50 through some new website (can't recall the name).

Space Channel 5 is a terrible game. It's impossible past the 2nd level, and if you've beaten it then you're either ridiculously talented at that game, or lying. Liar.

Eh...No. Dreamcast most likely failed due to having virtually no anti-copy protection. It was so easy to download and play games on the dreamcast, no modchip or anything special needed. So i don't think 'we failed the dreamcast', they kinda did that to themselves.

So according to that last sentence, it's Sega fault that everyone and their mother were able to easily steal games? I was guilty of it as well . The very phrase of "we failed the Dreamcast" mostly relates to the rampant piracy on the console.
