Help.
i can't find any dc games in any game shops anywhere. where can you get them from these days, and the last time i tried looking for info on the dc i came across sega's site that said the only way to connect with dreamarena was with dreamkey 5? never seen it and can't locate it.
It's really starting to p**s me off cos i got a perfectly good dc thats as much use as ashtray on a motorbike!
so if you got any info i'd like to hear it.
thanks people.

http://www.poundland.com gives details of a map with links to local stores. I visited a Poundland shop and found a Dreamcast keyboard for £1. Everything for a pound. I found the Dreamcast ChuChu Rocket including the Dreamkey 1.5 which says something about online gaming via Dreamarena. The product code is MK-51049-BS. A friendly forum user has promised to send me his Dreamkey 3 which he got free from Sega some time ago. I am hoping to use the Dreamcast for Internet access. There is a website for an ISP that helps Dreamcast users to learn how to change the ISP info for their pay as you go service on an 0845 number. I'm sharing details only for those who can get a Dreamkey 3 and are willing to keep all existing dialup details somewhere for reference before changing anything!

http://www.aardvaark.co.uk leads to both PC users dialup info and a free user name and password as well as the Dreamcast free user name and password. These are for learning purposes and are also of help to Bush Internet set top box users wishing to learn how to change their ISP details eventually to a freephone 0808 dialup number. Details have therefore been posted on the http://www.bushusergroup.com forum (use the Search forum option with keywords like Dreamcast or aardvark or change ISP). The Dreamcast free user name and free password are there, too.

This info is for test purposes and learning purposes. I have a Bush Internet set top box and have changed to both Fast24.co.uk as well as OneTel.co.uk ISP deals. Others have recommended Fast4 as well as Plus.net and details may be found in the General Discussion, Technology Discussion, FAQs and Useful Info Discussions. Further to these bits of info, I'm awaiting a Dreamcast with some games and cables and since I've got my PC and my set top box accessing the Internet I hope to use the Dreamcast, too. If seeking Dreamcast games locally then check games stores using Yellow Pages or websites like http://www.scoot.co.uk yet even today, I've visited here to find Dreamcast games! The link to the Special Offers usually provides the link the Clearance Offers and product offers by platform... The Reviews Section should provide extra guidance, eg A to Z named game reviews links.

Ebay is your best bet for the games, they go as low as £2-5 for the classics like JSR and Metropolis Street Racer. Dreamkey 3 is no longer being given away by Sega i'm afraid so you have two options: 1. track down a copy on ebay (about £5-£10) or track down the CD image on the internet and burn one yourself (but this is a looooooong job believe me)

Theres a chain of shops called Gamestation (www.gamestation.co.uk), my local one sells second hand, and some new Dreamcast games. Most top stores like Virgin/GAME dont sell Dreamcast stuff anymore.
Also try Ebay.co.uk , for new/secondhand games.
There is no Dreamkey 5.
The latest version is Dreamkey 3, you can ring Sega for one (sorry dont know the number, but its around on here somwehere) or ive seen some on Ebay.
