Thinking about buying a dreamcast.

[AugustWest71]

I used to have a kick a$$ time with my brothers dreamcast until he sold it a few years ago, and i've recently had the urge to play some of the old games like WSB 2K2 and Crazy Taxi, but I don't know if the games will be any fun know. What do you guys think?

Dreamcast and the XBOX are 2 of the greatest consoles ever released, that never realized their full potential by developers.

I wonder how much I can get for my Dreamcast nowadays....like 30 bucks?

Re: Thinking about buying a dreamcast.

Do it. I bought a mint condition black one about a year ago off of eBay for $25. Been getting a kick out of one game I haven't played before--Space Channel 5. But I have Ferrari 360 Challenge, NBA 2K, Lemans (something), and I plan on getting Crazy Taxi, that speedboat game (can't remember right now), and Rayman.

Re: Thinking about buying a dreamcast.

I still play my Dreamcast along with my 360.

Virtua Tennis 1 and 2 can still be fun in multiplayer, Hydro Thunder still hasn't been matched on any console, Crazy Taxi 1 and 2 are fun, the original Shenmue, Soul Calibur, Street Fighter 3... the list goes on.

Plus, it's great to have the original NBA and NFL 2K's in your collection.

I'm never gonna get rid of my DC.

Crazy Taxi was so much fun. And yes Admiral, Virtua Tennis, still one of the best tennis games ever.

HydroThunder was awesome, one of the best arcade racers of all time.

Street Fighter III and Soul Calibur, 2 of the greatest fighters released at the time.

Virtua tennis, Jet Set Radio, and NFL 2k1 come to mind. NFL 2k1 is stil my all-time favorite football game.

Re: Thinking about buying a dreamcast.

I dust mine off every now and then to play "Powerstone". They should make a 360 version of that with everything destructable Or aleast bring it to arcade.

NOTE: Do not buy "Blue Stinger"- It SUCKS

Powerstone 1 & 2 were awesome that I wish would have seen a 3rd on in the current gen era, but maybe we may see it here in next gen since the 360 needs some good fighting games.

My heart broke too. There were so many great games on that machine that picking one up for cheap is worth it. I even had the Asian Version of the system + the US Version to play the imports that's how much I loved the DC. The Asian version was cheaper than the Japanese so I had bought that one even before the US launch.

I just feel like SEGA bowed out way too quick on this system and I wish they would have given it 1 more year at the time. I know SEGA was losing money in the console business since some mistakes during the Genesis years with those crazy add-ons, but it was the SEGA Saturn which really did them in.

If SEGA wasn't in a hurry at the time to release the Saturn 6 months before the Playstation 1 came out, maybe they would have had more support from developers + it didn't help that the system had 3 CPU Cores that at the time developers found very difficult to program for.

I feel in recent years that SEGA since going the software route hasn't had a really big title release. I'm hoping they turn things around and can get a major title release that will make them the software giant they should be.

When they have games like Nights, Burning Rangers, Shenmue, Panzer Dragoon, and Shinning Force under lock & key than it permits them from striking gold. Even Virtua Fighter and Sonic which were both 2 titles that people always went ga-ga over have somewhat fallen off the face of this earth. There has been too many mediocre Sonic titles.

Great, Great system. My personal favorites on the system were

Powerstone 1 & 2
Soul Calibur
Hydro Thunder
Resident Evil: CV
NFL 2K series
NBA 2K series
Sonic Adventure
Marvel vs Capcom 1 & 2
Sega Bass Fishing 1 & 2
Shenmue
+ Many More Excellent Titles

I had a friend that was close to owning every single US released DC game.

Does anyone know if the Dreamcast ever had Component Cables?
