Well as you may or may not know, it is the Dreamcast's 10th birthday.
I know I gave mine a flogging (bought it a week after launch) and still have it hooked up for the occasion game of Shenmue, Chu Chu Rocket, Jet Set Radio, Quake 3, Worms, Soul Calibur, the list goes on.
I remember the epic gaming sessions me and hobbs used to have on this beast.
What are your experience's with the lovable DC? _________________________________________________________ Mattster

I got mine on launch day and played it every days until I got a xbox, dreamcast was the reason I didnt get a PS2 I thought the graphics were just as good. I remember we would all get together and play ready to rumble boxing, I could beat anybody with afro thunder

Its was a great system even the controller memory card was cool remember it had the little screen on it. Me and my brother loved because when you played NFL2K you could call the plays from the VMU so nobody could tell what play you where calling

The dreamcast was great, had some of the best games on it. Power Stone was a good one.
As for the controller, it is a bit chunky, but the memory card (visual memory unit) was great, you could even get little games to play on that. It's a shame Sega stopped making consoles after that. _________________________________________________________ Opinions are like arse holes, everybody has one and your's stinks.

i would play marvel vs capcom 2 everyday religiously, thank goodness its now on xbl also resident evil code vernoica i played alot,that was a great game system the grafics were awsome i might have to dust mine off and give it a go for old times sake
I actually now have four dreamcast systems. I love Soul Calibur and Seaman and of course Resident Evil: Code Veronica too only name a few. I can usually pick this system up for little or nothing and have purchased three more for backup parts just in case. Kinda silly really given the fact the dremcast is a tank and won't ever give up the ghost! I also have bass fishing along with the fishing rod controller which is a blast too play with. I also love reel fishing which also takes full advantage of the fishing rod controller. So yeah my dreamcast is well used and I still love it. Sega are you listening??? If you build another system they will come!!!! Sorry couldnt resist ripping that line from Fields of Dreams. _________________________________________________________

Who you calling little Hobbs, I am a giant and hung like an anaconda
Yeah I remember. It was for Xmas, got you a controller, a VMU and the transfer cable. My DC used to drive me nuts being on all night ripping a game.
And yes the 360 is related to the DC, they are both made of AWESOME. _________________________________________________________ Mattster
