Dreamcast
I recently bought one off eBay with 3 controllers, 2 VMUs, Jet Set Radio, ChuChu Rocket!, and Toy Commander. I've since got Sonic Adventure 1 & 2, a vibration pack, SCART lead, and I am waiting for Space Channel 5 to arrive. I will be getting Rival Schools: Project Justice, Rez, and probably Shenmue 1 & 2.
So, any Dreamcast fans here? Anyone still got one? I never got one when they originally came out, but I wish I had, I'm really enjoying it, especially being able to play Jet Set Radio once again (I used to own Jet Set Radio Future when I had an Xbox).
Any games you recommend?

The graphics look 'poor' to today's standard, ofcourse, but they're on the level of PS2's, GameCube's and perhaps Wii's standard.
I had lots of fun with my Dreamcast. Sadly the laser is broken or just very bad now, so havent played it in a long while.
Why not just download the games instead of buying them btw!?

The protection on the DC was crap. so you can either download a 'boot-cd' which you run first, and after that you can run the downloaded game you want, OR some games already have that little boot-hack on them, so you dont even need the bootdisk to run it...
And yeah, they're just burned to CD's.

It's not like your money is going to the developers or anything.

Well you can get the games for a pound, maybe 2 so its cheaper to buy them anyway, as by the time you spend a week downloading and burning it, you have wasted a few quids power doing that
and the fact many download versions suck badly and crash all the time and cut out massive chunks of the game to fit onto a cd, as theDreamcast did not put games on cds, they were a special larger version of a cd which held a few hundred MB's more.
So it pays to buy them for the pennies they cost I say.
Mind you a few games go for hundreds the japanese ones are mental prices.

Ohh it was out I remember the reviews, but I never saw it on the shelves probibly only made a limited set of copies of it.
Many games towards the end of the Dreamcast life were dumped onto the UK like turds, they would make internet games not even connectable to the net! making many of them pointless. The UK was totally shafted for games compared to America and Japan.
Hence why many turned to pirates, I know I got many copies which you could not get in the UK.

Sega completely screwed up the release of their Dreamcast and the games for the european market. A huge marketing disaster. Here in Holland they were only sold in special gameshops, whereas normally every toystore sells consoles and games.
Even years after it was out there was still a huge group of people who didnt know what a Sega Dreamcast was.
You need to buy Soul Calibur, Gassy. Metropolis Street Racing was great too.

I know Soul Calibur is meant to be dead good, but I don't see the point in getting it since Soul Calibur IV is available for the PS3, and when my mate brought that round I soon got irritated with it hahaha, so it'd just be that with drastically inferior graphics, surely
Rival Schools on the other hand, what a great beat 'em up. I used to own the first one for the PlayStation, never played the sequel before so I'm quite looking forward to getting it.

Many still feel SC was the best of the series. SC4 doesnt even have a story-mode I believe(!).
I dont think I've ever played Rival Schools, although I could be wrong.
BTW, arent there good quality Arcade emulators which can perfectly emulate Rival Schools and simular games!?

I don't know, I know there are various Dreamcast emulators available but they all seem too much trouble and glitchy and stuff, I'd much rather just play the original console version on a proper controller.
One of the things I loved about Rival Schools is how Japanese it was, and I've seen a vid on YouTube of all the special moves on the sequel and they're absolutely insane!
