I have no idea but anyway after having my Dreamcast for about 3 Months I have decided to sell it. Not really my cup of tea the games aren't intresting enough, sure there's some quality games but there aren't enough to warrant me keeping it.

Shenmue was amazing, Jet Set Radio was great while it lasted, Crazy Taxi was ummm short, Sonic Adventure was fun for 5 minutes and the rest where unspeakably boring.

Anyway, anyone want a Dreamcast for £80 with 19 games and a hell of a lot of other stuff?

Yes, that sort of rubbish does smell eerily of anus, doesn't it?

The Dreamcast's games are the best I've ever played, seeing as they're among some of the most original, innovative and damn playable games ever devised.

Same here. Convinced that Ihad missed some great games I went out a couple of months back and got one, bought a pile of games including Shenmue, Jet Set Radio, MSR, Skies Of Arcadia e.t.c

It's nothing special, I barely play it so it's up for sale one Ebay right now...

But all of the true DC greats are like gold dust now. You just would never get anything like Samba de Amigo or Seaman on a non-Sega console.

I think the pair of you are loonies. How can you say the likes of MSR is 'unspeakably boring'? Do you even like videogames?

I'm still buying games for my Dreamcast. Skies of Arcadia arrived from an ebay purchase today, next on the shopping list is Headhunter. My GameCube game collection will do well to ever get within striking distance of my DC collection, which probably surpasses my N64 and SNES collections. It may well be the best console I ever own, and the best you ever get rid of :O/
