Guys, I've bought a very stupid thing...

Call the coolest console of all time stupid again buddy, I dare ya!


I got a Dreamcast from Henry for Christmas last year and I love it. I may have my PS5, Switch 2, and PSP up in Wales with me but I keep thinking "I wish I could play my Dreamcast." I still need to grab myself a keyboard but I've got myself the microphone and a copy of Seaman which was a bit of a grail item for me ever since I first heard about it, though I haven't played it yet.

What games have you got? Please tell me you're getting Typing of the Dead!

I got a job lot on ebay. Overall pretty decent condition (?); biggest issue is that the battery in the internals which operates the clock is dead, so I have to input the date every time I boot it up. VMU battery is also dead, but that's easy enough to replace by the looks of it. But the laser seems pretty decent as its reading the first Shenmue disc which is...sheesh. Pretty beat up? It does sound like its trying to take flight, but from what I've read that's not uncommon? Got an a second controller so it's a nice option to hopefully do some split screen at some point!

With the Dreamcast I got: ChuChu Rocket, Sonic Adventure, Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, Soul Calibur, F355 Ferrari Challenge & Sega Bass Fishing. I also got just the dics of V-Rally 2, Power Stone 2 & Shenmue. I found a boxed copy of Shenmue that has manuals and artwork (and sleeve) but missing a disc for under £10.

I've also snagged Virtua Fighter 3tb and Virtua Striker 2 & NBA 2K. Trying to pick up things here and there that isn't extortionate, and a lot of the most revered titles have prices to match; and I don't have the cash right now, but building a library for the thing in 2026 will be something I try to build up.

So far I've only played Shenmue and Sonic Adventure; I found Shenmue....not difficult, but tedious? Took me far too long to figure out how to run. Left trigger and D-pad is uh...interesting game design! Sonic Adventure - I'm finding it really difficult to keep Sonic in a straight line
