Woohoo, my lifelong ambition of owning a Dreamcast (not) has been fulfilled today, since I bought one.
True story:
Went into town today with absolutely no intention of buying a Dreamcast. While looking in Game, I saw they had pre-owned Dreamcasts for £30.
Anyway, being the cheap person that I am, I asked the guy if I could have it for £20. After a lengthy wait (the guy went out the back, probably to ring somebody :D), the guy said that was okay. so, using the £25 I had in my wallet, I bought the Dreamcast and a VMU. Problem was, the VMU was actually £7, so the guy knocked off £2 from the Dreamcast to cater for my monetary problems.
So I got a Dreamcast for £18.
Then, I went to CEX and bought some DC games - Sonic Adventure £5, Chu Chu Rocket £1, Shenmue £12 and Skies of Arcadia £20 (heck, I really wanted it). Funny thing is, I just took more money out my bank account. I could have paid £30 for the Dreamcast, but I liked the 'I'm a poor cheap person' act and got the DC cheaper :).
Woohoo! I'm looking forward to a looong night of Shenmue. What a game :D.

What online play? Headhunter has no multiplayer.
Confidential Mission is really good, but lasts for about 2 hours.

I ruled at darts! And the QTE Boxing games.
Unfortunatly I don't have Head Hunter :( Did they really cut the online play? I want to get Confidential Mission too...seeing as I have a light gun laying around.

heh, enjoy the Dreamcast,
It's one of those consoles that didnt appeal to the mainstream, there more quality games had to be made for it. Enjoy it.

So you enjoyed it?
Shenmue II had darts and Afterburner and Hang On and Outrun and Space Harrier, and you could play them all from the main menu.
You have to admit that darts was a really good game.
Whitestripes, do you have Headhunter?

Ine-San was really fit though. And she gave you money.

She was proper ugly.
But you could give the cat dried squid.
And you could spend all your money on Chocolate and dried squid, just so that you could win games to play on your Saturn.
And you could buy tapes. called "Linda".
