It's meant to be dead, but i really like to have some of the games that have come out recently to add to my collection, and very soon the price will go down.
SO who's kept there's and who hasn't?

I don't regret getting rid of mine. If I still had one it would be gathering dust in a drawer somewhere until I pulled my finger out and tried to sell it.

However, having been without it for so long now (watching games like Zelda: MM, Perfect Dark, Banjo-Tooie, Conker and so on be released) I think now is the time to get rid of the Dreamcast games I no longer have any interest in and pick up a cheap N64 second hand. GameStation will do one boxed and guaranteed for £27! They say absence makes the heart grow fonder and, in this case, it's true.

The only DC games that ever get warmed up are House of the Dead 2 (played in quick bursts), Marvel vs Capcom 2 (also played in quick bursts) and Skies of Arcadia (which I've just finished and probably won't play through again again I've found the remaining 13 discoveries and 3 crew members).

I want Sonic 2, Spiderman and Crazy Taxi 2 (which I'll probably just rent) and then that's it. No more interest me. I think what I'll do is sell a couple of DC games to get an N64 and sell the rest gradually to pay for games.

By the time I've got rid of my old games I may be ready to sell the more recent additions - then I can start pricing up my N64 stuff for sale to buy a GameCube!

yes but it has to go through your console. Or are talking about the fact that the game gear can be used as a TV?

Aint never gonna sell my 64, and it will never be forgotten. WHY? becasue it will probably be the last console ever to come out with cartridge based games. Every so often it will be easy to pull out and start playing, becasue the game will load instantly.

There are still a few games i wanna get for my 64. I aint got zelda MM yet. Bit annoyed it didnt get it at launch now, becasue i dont think you can get the golden cart anymore. Then of course there is Tony hawks 2, paper mario and MP3. Excitebike is the only game i really play on at the moment, its pritty good value for money. Its lasted me so far.

I swapped my PSone for an N64 for a while once. I was impressed by the graphics, but I prefered the PSone.

Abbandoned my n64 it's just getting interesting, i'm desperate for pokemon G/S stadium and Banjo Tooie, and indiana jones. Tony Hawks 2 i'll be getting, im desperate for mario's goodbye adventure in paper mario, mario party 3 is on my list,
6 games that would last me a year, and how much time is left in it, oh and other games aren't there because i don't really find them that interesting.
