I think you'll be disappointed with the Dreamcast now.

The graphics are not as retro as the snes, and youve had a lot more consoles come after it which supersede the console graphics wise.
a lot of the games have released on the consoles after it, and not only that, but they look and play better!

Sorry but I have to disagree. You cant get any better than playing on the original console a game was built for when it comes to retro gaming. True, you play games on the current gen consoles with better graphics but most have lost their original feel due to modifications.

Take the Sega's Dreamcast Collection Adventure for instance or the Dreamcast games on PSN or XBLA. They don't scale to full screen and Crazy Taxi doesn't have the original sound track which seems to have upset a lot of people. Which isn't Sega's fault due to licensing issues but its little things like that which make retro games stand out, get taken away in re-releases.

I recently hooked up a brand new unused DC i had up in the loft from way back (free on a phone deal back in 2002) and bought one of those VGA boxes from eBay. It looks pretty good on a HDTV considering it's age. (I had a DC back in the day but my original one is a bit buggered laser wise)

I had a about 15 games and recently I have been buying a few on eBay that I never picked up back when the console was current. Playing through a recently purchased copy of Soul Reaver and Resident Evil 2.

I had both on the PS1 and both look crap running on the PS3 compared to the DC via VGA.
