Bought it today for a few reais. In american dollars, it would cost around $75. Two controllers, a generic memory unit and three games. The case is a bit scratched and dusty but it fully functional. I am really happy!

This is my second Dreamcast. The first one I had was back in 2001/2002. Then I sold it in 2003 and regretted about that forever. Dreamcast is one of my favorite home consoles, losing only to Nintendo 64, which I had when I was 10 and traded for a GBC! XD

I am looking forward on finishing games I have left behind in past, such as Grandia II, Omikron and Sonic Adventure 2. I am also tempted to try homebrew applications and games on it.

Yeah Highwind, I thought of you when I first held it on my hands.

Here are two shots of it, blurry because I took them with my Palm.

May the Dream live on forever!

Congratulation! What were the games?

Some Dreamcast games are very expensive and hard to find...

Thanks Paratech.

The games are Fur Fighters, Tokyo Xtreme Racer and Quake III. I wonder if I still can play Q3 online?

Tokyo Xtreme Racer

Underrated dreamcast game imo, sure the second one is better but i found the first one to be an enjoyable experience as well :thumb:

Anyway like i said enjoy your new acquisition ^^.

 

[zidine00]

indeed, you are one lucky man, i havent been able to find one of these in a year which is not including ebay.

 

[marcoc2]

w00t Mire, I still remember your stories on MSN about the system. It really brings a smile to this mondaymorninggrimface of mine hearing that you finally managed to hunt it down. I hope it'll last twice the hours of mine (which is a LOT ;P). Enjoy it, and don't be afraid of the sailors.

Ps. If you want an epic japanese shooter, try Baldr Force Exe (look it up online, though videos don't do justice as they only show the relatively weak first attacks). Fully japanese except for menus, but damn well playable, and has loli's in it.

Thanks Cid. I will try that, and ****ing REZ too! Yeah I didn't play it when I had my first DC.

i feel that with Starlancer. Goddamn good spaceshooter and nobody cares about it

 

[Master_DX]

lol I didn't think people would buy a DC nowadays. I have one and haven't use it in like 7 years, still got some games that work like Ready 2 Rumble, Head Hunter, etc.... but the other ones are mainly scratched due to the disc case I put 'em in.

Hope you enjoy your new console, I only have mine as a collection, I doubt I will ever use it again though.

[Lenox]

You're just sour cause you purchased the wrong 9/9/99 product.

Dreamcast > FF8

FF8 on dreamcast would've been awesome.

Square went to the wrong console.

I somehow disagree with you on square going to the wrong console .

I loved the DC only bad thing was the gamepad for fighting games.

 

[MT]

I can't say that the d-pad on the Dreamcast controller was that bad for fighting games imo its better then the one on the Xbox.
