Well if you want one buy it from that ebay dude. I got a few games for my that I haven't beaten. My DC stopped working but it was a great system when it lasted. Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 are great games and must haves if you're a platform fan.

There's some pretty decent dreamcast emulators out there, and you can find just about any dreamcast game on torrent sites or rom sites.

But of course, nothing is better than having an actual dreamcast, with those wonderful memory cards that you can play mini games on too.

scroll down to the harware section of the page, it clearly states that this company sells Dreamscasts for $39, I just called them and they said they have some (2 to be exact)they are used but at least they are half price

People are always calling it the best game ever, I dunno. It's good and all but it's not near the top of my list. Sadly enough I bought this Dreamcast for 3 games, Power Stone, Marvel Vs. Capcom 2, and Phantasy Star Online. I'm torrenting the CDI files for all of them as we speak.

I have a few Dreamcasts, it's a neat system.

I have a normal US model that I play on, and then a sealed normal white JDM and a sealed black R7 arcade model.

At any rate, try out all of these games:

-Shenmue 1 & 2-Project Justice-Sonic Adventure 1 & 2-Skies of Arcadia-Grandia 2-Sega Marine Fishing-Trizeal

I don't even remember what all DC games I have, I haven't touched the system in maybe a year, but there's gobs of quality titles available for it, especially if you import.

PSO was fun as ****. When I played the Dreamcast thats about all that was in it. Its pretty much useless now though, as the single player sucks and the multiplayer servers have been down for years.

I just burned that to a disk. There are actually private PSO servers that you can connect to and play online still. Granted it is slightly more expensive than Sega's but it's a price I'm willing to pay. I'm just trying to figure out how to play online without buying that ungodly expensive broadband adapter.

Hell ya, Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 and the Powerstone games were the best. I used to play the **** out of hydro thunder too. I'd never get rid of my dreamcast.

Two new Dreamcast games just got announced a couple days ago.

Both are obviously from tiny independent developers, but it's nice to know that people are still supporting the system.

I think that makes 15-20 games from independent studios after "official system death".

I <3 my DC. I really want a DC store display Kiosk, but I don't have anywhere to put something like that....

Word the f*** up. Third Strike is the best fighting game I've played. Naturally I suck but it's fun nonetheless.

I play that game almost everyday, there's some insanly good people at that game though. One of the best players in the U.S. goes to my school, CPP. Its just ridiculous how good people are at it.

Street Fighter...Meh.

Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolves is where its at!

Well, Street Fighter 3rd Strike is probably better, but im an SNK fanboy so I have to say these things.
