    So, thinking of a get together, themed to celebrate the 98/99 launch of the Dreamcast, 20 years ago!
    So, all things Sega but mostly Dreamcast goodness.
    What do people think?

    Obligatory "I'd like to make this if I'm free" :D

    I'm terrible at everything but it would be nice to get some multiplayer going on Typing of the Dead, MvC, THPS, MSR etc.

    Jaysus, the 30/10/2019 is the ten year anniversary of this thread?

    I'd happily have everyone over to mine if ye are up to it.

    Its miles off in the future and I'm in the middle of th city centre so no excuses :D

    If someone could sell me a Time Crisis machine in the meantime that would be excellent :eek:

    I'm imagining having Samba De Amigo, MSR, Space Channel 5 and Crazy Taxi going, but also some MD, Saturn and, heavens forbid, MegaCD/32X action going!
    Sure, have a think again about a date, maybe late March, or earlier?
    Up to you guys.

    Sure
    I've been a Coeliac since the 80's, so welcome to the party pal!

    We'll see what Sega treats we can come up with.
    Presumably they'll be made of enthusiasm, bright colours, disappointment and feelings of betrayal....

    And with blast processing, they'll run through you quicker than that Sonic the Hedgehog Curry will...
