thought id edit that out just to be careful.

You're too slow.

But yeah seriously, get a VMU or two, a SCART cable (That is unless your TV is ancient!), and some real legitimate games to really make the best out of it.

Otherwise you may as well just give your Dreamcast a quick death.

hehe nice buy. on the tree that is gum i picked one, unboxed for £10 with 2 controllers. the guy threw it in with 80 cdrs.. i haven't actually played it though which is pretty shocking considering i bought it a few months back. great price though

. just need to get the shenmue games again.

enjoy the console

jaggafeen · 5 Oct 2009 at 18:20

ye i will wont get some games for it till next month busy with ps3/360

WatchTower · 5 Oct 2009 at 18:26

If you love Arcade games the Dreamcast was the best console last generation. When the production of the Dreamcast stopped early it left a hole in my gaming soul that still hasn't been filled.

I vote for Dreamcast 2. Well I can dream can't I?

Steve M · 5 Oct 2009 at 18:48

I think you paid over the odds for it to be honest. Have a look on ebay as for that price you could have got it with a fair few games. You should also get yourself a scart cable for it.

There are loads of great games for the Dreamcast: Shenmue 1+2, MSR, Virtua tennis 1+2, jet set radio, phantasy star online to name a few. Some are even considered rare. I sold copy of Rez the other day on ebay for £25. I also have shenmue 1+2 on ebay and they should sell for around £70 (i have 2 copies of 1+2 otherwise i'd never wish to sell them).

As for not knowing how to tune in a TV using an RF connection you must be very, very young! I was playing on my original Sega Master System over the weekend with it's RF connection and took all of 30 seconds to tune in!

IIRC the vga adaptor is really nice if you can get one. Haven't used it in years but i'm sure it looked nice on a monitor.

Kappa · 5 Oct 2009 at 19:04

LOL dont know how to tune? Psssh kids nowadays

Get yourself a scart or even better VGA to connect to a monitor, awesome quality.

Really? I mean are you really? I would like to know what other consoles pre Dreamcast you own as you didn't know how to tune your TV for it. Not being bitchy just if you call yourself a collector then so will a lot of people as in my loft I have a Atari 2600, Megadrive and Gamecube. I'm going to bring the Atari down soon though as I need it for samples lol.

Limenote · 5 Oct 2009 at 22:52

i cant believe you bought one of these consoles yet had no idea how to tune the tv to pick up the rf signal? haha where having you been the last 15 gaming years?

mame · 5 Oct 2009 at 22:54

This all makes me feel old. The thought that an adult isn't used to tuning something in via RF

The first TV i used for my amstrad CPC 464 didn't even save any tunings or have channel buttons. It had one big dial that you had to turn EVERY time you changed TV channel or wanted the computer on

Without looking at his profile, there's a big chance that he was BORN within the last 15 years, give or take some.

Hxc · 5 Oct 2009 at 23:13

I'm 17 and tuned channels for years....

SiD the Turtle · 5 Oct 2009 at 23:37

I feel so old. I can't believe there are people out there who've never tuned a TV!

WatchTower · 6 Oct 2009 at 01:26

Many moons ago my grand parents thought I was some electronic wizard because I tune in their TV channels.

Now they seem to think I can do anything when it comes to electrical goods.
