Yes, I know this should be elsewhere but seriously, how many still go in classic consoles ?

Anyway, got myself a secondhand Dreamcast from Game Station on Friday along with a few games - Jet Set Radio, Bust A Move 4, and Gunbuster 2(or something like that).

Apart from the obvious Shenmue, what other games can people recommend ?

Which brings me to my second question.

I really want Samba De Amigo, but I lack the funds to buy a PAL version, hence imports is the only way to go, hopefully a US one if I get lucky.

Now I know that the Dreamcast has various discs which people did to allow playing of imports on the console - both free and retail ones.

Anyone know websites/names of retail or free ones and how good they are ? The Gamecube has a retail import enabler disc so they're obviously legal - hence why I'm asking here. Any info appreciated as at the time of the Dreamcast I merrily bought a PS2 instead :P

I don't have any imports to try it on unfortunately ! I'll probably get Samba to start with, try it, then if it doesn't work go hunting for a way to make it work.

Seen the demo for Powerstone (The Dreamcast had a Dreamon demo disc in it) and it looked good, a bit like Kung Fu Chaos on Xbox, but not as annoying !

What games do you have, might be interested in buying some depending on price.

Is PAL Samba De Amigo expensive?

You don't need one for the Cast. Mine plays import games without it and no its not modified. The only game I have which needed a chip to play was Crazy Taxi. If you want I have a shed load of games that i don't play.

Powerstone 1 + 2 seriously kick a*s.
