dreamcast

lads i here all this stuff about PS2,gamecube and X-Box at the moment i think the dreamcast is a good choice,
>
1.First of all look at the price you can buy 3 of them for the same as a PS2.(nuff said)
>
2. Games a re much much cheaper. [Let's keep it legal yeah? - Shinji]
>
3. 80% of good ps2 games are driving games ( yes, they are very good)the other 20% is ones like alone in the dark...

at the ewnd of the day DC is alot cheaper and in 6 months oi can sell it for £50 and get a ps2 for £100.

what you think ?

You won't get many arguments that it was a worthy console, but I found most of the games to be too short/easy. And to the best of my knowledge, no one makes games for it anymore.

If there's one thing I hate, it's people.

All to rute the dreamcast is dead but now we get all the great games

all i can say to you is yes your right
buy it you wont be dissapointed
there's loads of good games out for it
and most of tham are cheap with most new games being 29.99
if you get games like shenmue,jet set radio,msr,sonic,phantasy star online,loads of street fighters,mortal kombat for a tenner,crazy taxi
its a great system
shame its dead

Dead my ass. IMO, as long as a console is still being bought and played, it's far from dead.

-RaY- · 02-09-2001 7:11pm

the DC would be a good buy atm for the price and the games are certainly cheaper than PS2 just one thing is the DC online service for free ?

Or, if you want to be above board you could nip over the border to Northern Ireland: Currys are selling them for STG£5 a pop

I finally got Sega Bass Fishing and the rod controller during the week, and that's pretty much proved why I dig my DC so much. Instantly playable, instantly addictive. We've already had a drunken fishing championship at the weekend.

Today, I found http://www.dcemulation.com , which I'm sure is going to pretty much make me cry tears of joy when I try out some of the stuff tonight.

Worth getting/keeping for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 alone.

RasTa · 03-09-2001 2:21pm

i didnt mean its dead,like noones playin it
i ment shame its "dead" meaning that sega arent making any more consoles or marketing it anyway
this the best system out atm by far

orangerooster · 03-09-2001 6:12pm

well not dead just not being made and it will be run out eventully which is a shame its just goes to show you need marketing for a big sucees great well thought out games wont sell consoles if only a few people know about them.

Volvagia · 05-09-2001 8:22pm

The dreamcast is not dead! well for the time being anyway. There will always be ppl playing old consoles and looking for old games for old consoles! Why just last year i bought a game for my snes! I agree with balfa LONG LIVE THE SNES!!!

The Millenium Bug, You mean Han Solo's ship is coming here in the year 2000?

-RaY- · 09-09-2001 1:30pm

If the DC Had free internet access it would fly off the shelves

Superman · 09-09-2001 1:37pm

Yep, it's September 9th, the Dreamcast was released in America 2 years ago this date.

ObeyGiant · 10-09-2001 9:12am

Is it possible to buy one of those much-touted DC ethernet adapters anywhere in Ireland?
Hell - is it possible to buy them over the www?

lildevil · 16-09-2001 7:12am

is it true that u can go on any website with the dc?i am sharing a pc atm and want one of my own and thought a DC would b a better option for me,i want one but am unsure as i want to keep playing my webgames too.

DrunkLeprachaun · 16-09-2001 4:39pm

You can use the DC to go to any site, but unless you buy a keyboard, typing's a bitch. A PC is a hell of a lot better for the internet(DC can't e-mail attachments, can't use chat progs like irc, can't d/l things, and so on).

would i be able to use the webchat on mechwars game for chatting with a dreamcast?

DrunkLeprachaun · 19-09-2001 8:45pm
