Dreamcast nostalgia thread

[Dolphin1184]

in that loading screen, they show dan marino and ask if records will be broken. (around 1:10 mark)

the fact that you could copy games for dreamcast i think ran the system out of business. me and my buddies would smoke and play marvel vs capcom 2 for hours.

I saw that. That was really cool.

I am sure that was part of it. They should take a page out of Sony's book and crack down on piracy.

Even the loading screen (the one with the NFL 2k Logo appearing and scrolling at 2:46) looks cool. Man I feel like pulling out my Dreamcast and playing it.

The only problem i ever had with the ssytem was the VMU hefty price, it cuold hold just two games at time and sometimes even one, that was a pathetic strategy of sega which i'm pretty sure made a fair amount of it's customers mad.

40 dollars vmu + The game 40 price = 80, 80 dollars per title technically was absurd.

Dude, I seriously don't know what kind of VMU you were using but I only had one and it did everything I needed it too. I am actually curious here not just being sarcastic.

yeah, vmus were $20 for me.

I am reffering to the official sega one's that were $35-40 at the prime of the dreamcast somewhere during the year 2000.

When the dreamcast production stopped and system's were dropped to $99(console) & $120 with the sega sports pack, The Vmu's dropped to $20.

I shopped at Toys r us by the way.

I thought the VMU was a really cool idea. I remember playing 2K Basketball and it would track player fatigue, which helped me with timeout strategy. I do remember them starting out at like $40, but then dropping shortly after that.

I loved me some Dreamcast. My favorite game:

I also liked NFL2K and Sonic. Everytime I think of Dreamcast I think about the South Park episode where Cartman convinces the guys the tooth fairy will give them enough money to buy a "Seeeeggga-Dreamcast" haha good stuf.

Don't mind the tarp looking thing. I just tossed a sheet over my drumset so it isn't a distraction.
