oh wow where did you get half life from? Considering it was never actually released on the DC (I think!!)

)
Left - TIME 1.8ghz ahtlon xp. 1GB ram. radeon 9200se. Windows XP
Right - MESH. 1ghz athlon. 256mb ram. geforce mx 440. Windows 98se
Also managed to get the 17" CRT in the loft by myself which was not easy!

The Mesh is the same I had back in 2000 and I think the spec is the same. Online literature relating to Mesh Computers is pretty thin on the ground!
It cost me a small fortune at the time, paired with 19" Sony Trinitron. I had a SBLive Drive with the front plate you could plug headphones etc. Day of Defeat and Counterstrike run really well. Only Operations Flashpoint made it crawl (if you set the view distance to maximum) but then I don't think there was a PC at the time capable of running OpFlash with all options maxed out.
Sadly my Mesh along with the monitor got skipped around 10 years ago. When looking back it was madness, all in working condition (albeit slow) and the reason it got sent to the tip due to space! Still miss it and glad you posted this as I had forgotten what the case was like! The Time machine is nice looking case.

Its an a
its an absolute unit, screwless side panel removal too, ahead of its time! was a mission getting it up a ladder by myself.

It's one of those funny little repos I saw on eBay for a tenner, never released but the last build is playable to completion
If I buy Half-Life for DC on eBay is it likely to be a GD-ROM? Will it work on a factory Dreamcast (mine is a HKT-3030)?

I may be wrong but pretty sure you can just download it online and burn it to a disc?
But then it would be cool to have that packaging etc ^
Nice bit of history with that version. I think Blue Shift was supposed to be exclusive to the dreamcast too

I think most unmodded Dreamcasts cannot read CD-R /RW etc, only very early ones can...
It'll be fine on all of them now, I think it uses the same exploit new release DC games use to be region free/loadable without the original Sega approval things
Yeah pretty sure you can do it your self but I liked the novelty of a nicely mastered disc (and I can't find my cd writer). Blue shift was meant to be a DC only release back in the day, it's on my copy as well!

Very cool, may look one out for myself
. I said I'll take the Wii and GC games but I was a minute later than someone who said they'll send a PM. 
The Wii games will be £100+ alone. Melee is like £50 I think, resi games are like £30 each. I've asked for them but she's not replied to the post yet, someone a minute before me PMed them.
