That's a great point made at the end of the vid that i can't stress enough to people: most expensive games were once cheap and sometimes common. Time renders them in a different light sometimes, i remember seeing pretty much all of these for $20 back in the day.
I have a great collection for the Dreamcast but am missing still quite a bit but even have some imports many manuals and even some of the odd things like the bags and my bro has quite a few of the rear ones and even a kiosk of the Dreamcast but if you are needing some games for your collection let me know I have some duplicates but I would need to know what you need and what would you suggest for my collection that I have of these systems: Sega Systems:Dreamcast, Game Gear, Genesis, Saturn. Nintendo Systems: Nes, Snes, Gameboy Advance, Wii, Ds, 3ds, Game Cube, Nintendo 64. PlayStation Systems: Ps, Ps2, Psp 1000 and 2000. Xbox Systems: Xbox 360. Atari/ColicoVision Systems: ColicoVision and Adam Computer with built in ColicoVision with floppy disc reader for dragons lair and even plays buck rogers on cassette tape plus the Atari 2600 attachment module 1, and last but not least Atari 5200 with the 4 controller ports. what games do you suggest to get and what do you think I should do for my collection as I keep collecting on them.
It was really the ease of piracy and the PS2 that killed it. Windows CE was a double edged sword, because it's why it was so easy to develop and optimize for, but it also left it wide open.
Sega did it to themselves...just reading Console Wars really gives you perspective to the misstep after misstep that lead up to Dreamcast. Still my favorite system ever.
@@SotNist the windows version had nothing to do with it to start. You could literally burn the games and play them there was no disc or software protection implemented. It released around the same time CD burners became super inexpensive and common as the alternative was zip disks and expensive standalone hard drives or floppy. Windows ce has no user/file rights besides hide and read only but without user rights like Unix anyone could change even those 2 things
Games which utilized the Windows CE and DIrect X SDK option had the operating system on the disc. I think it was designed to be receptive with this in mind, and ended up just being completely wide open to boot discs and ISO's because of it.
mushy, you're wrong. There was copy protection (obviously), it was just relatively easy to bypass it. The reason why you can play burned discs on unmodded systems is that the "program," or whatever you call it, is already on those ISOs you download from the net.
I like how John always says "funny/crazy story on this one..." And then his 'story' just ends up being he walked into a store and bought it LOL John usually doesn't speak on monetary value jus his luv of the games so its cool see him collab w/MJR & touch on different subjects like rarity & worth
I remeber buying my Dreamcast at Sears when they were 99.99 towards the end of its life and my mom bought it for my brother and I. We got to pick two games, I got Evil Dead and my brother got marvel vs capcom 1. DCast is in my top three favorite consoles. Love it in all its glory. Haha
The original Power Stone was actually what hooked me on the console. It was such a fun game! I just wish I stuck with the Dreamcast at the time instead of selling it! You live an learn I guess haha ;)
Same here. Powerstone Collection on PSP was the definitive version in my opinion. Yea you couldn’t do local coop, but all the extras and features made up for it. Loved being able to play as Valgas and Kraken on Power Stone 2 which could only be done on the PSP version.
Just wanted to say, as a new subscriber is utterly amazing. I'm having so much fun going through the archive of videos here and definitely looking forward to what comes next. Thank you for being awesome!
didn't see any of the expensive/ rare exclusives european games, should change the title to north american games. no MoHo which is more expensive then everything i seen here, goes for £160-200. no french exclusive taxi 2 no evil twin no aqua gt
Capcom invested a lot on the dreamcast cuz it was the closest hardware to arcades back in the day. The Dreamcast architecture was close or identical to the Naomi arcade boards that capcom had used for their own games such as: Capcom vs SNK 1 and 2, Marvel Vs Capcom 2, Project Justice and Power Stone. It was reasonably simple to port. They also released updated versions of games. Plasma Sword (Star Gladiator 2) and Tech Romancer in arcades ran on a PS1 based arcade board, yet they got amped up releases on Dreamcast with reworked models and effects. The Dreamcast was also the only system at the time that could properly handle CPS3 games such as Warzard/Red Earth, SFIII and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
I wondered why Capcom supported the DC. Back during it's self life, I thought they wanted to merge with Sega. Shame Red Earth never got a home release.
See... that's the part i don't get. Why pay hundreds for 3rd Strike, JoJo, Gigawing2, etc. when you can buy a $10 clip and easily play the arcade originals minus the DC's loading times but plus the unported ones like Red Earth + Strider 2 on basically any mobile with Mame4droid and just hook up your XBone/PS4/Pro-Pad via Bluetooth ? It's like getting a NeoGeo CD game when you already have free lifetime access to the original Arcade Board... ? Get the system's exclusives ? Absolutely. Get the overpriced multi-system releases too ? If money is not an issue, why would I blame you ? But if you're on a budget it can can save you lots amounts of money if you purchase them on either another system (e.g. Gamecube) or if you look up the games on Steam first. Even system exclusives from way back then tend to pop up there sooner or later (thinking of Crimson Skies and Fable on the 1st Xbox for example)
@@chrislaivier8459 for some people it isn't a matter of accessibility. I mean. Anybody can get an emulator and run the games. But collectors like having and owning the real deal, specially if it's a piece of history or something that really has personal investment. Sometimes it's not about being able to play it, even. It's a phenomenon akin to art and collectibles. Some are into the feeling of having something rare, something limited, something that doesn't exist anymore, the item gets a mystique to it as if it's an artifact.
I bought it new back in the days. Survival Horror buff here. Really wanted to love it. Couldn't figure it out, dismissed it as trash, traded it back in to EB for something else. Or maybe I just got cash back to buy a bag of weed or something (you could do that back then). Around 2005-ish I read a positive review on it on the net somewhere, and was just getting back into Dreamcast, so I scooped it back up on eBay. It was so long ago I don't remember what I paid, but I know I didn't pay anymore than $20 for it. Figured out the mechanics, played through it, and beat it. A cool, fun, unique game that suffers from some broken and clunky mechanics here and there that make the experience more frustrating than it needed to be. But there's nothing else like it, and it's definitely better than Blue Stinger. I'm glad I gave it another shot, and glad I got a copy long before the prices for everything got stupid.
The demise of Sega after the Dreamcast is like an unhealing wound for me.. when it came out back in 99’ i bought one day 1 and I convinced my two best friends to buy a console each so the 3 of us would play these games to death, usually having all weekend gaming marathons. Phantasy Star, sonic adventure, RE code Veronica, house of the dead, shenmue, project justice & powerstone were all amazing games that blew us away. There’s just so many fun games on the DC! After Sega called it quits a part of me died. I stupidly traded in my old consoles and library of games but after 2008 I stopped and have now amassed a pretty sweet collection. The Dreamcast will always have a place in my heart.
Beautiful comment. I felt every word you said. My Dreamcast experience was very different, but the console still has a special place in my heart. I'm from Germany and the sad thing was, that I missed the release of the DC completely. Not sure, if it generally was like this in Germany, but at least in my small town, this console was nowhere to be found. No advertisements and nobody was selling it. The other thing was, I lost interest in gaming back then and didn't read any magazines anymore. Many other stuff was going on in my life. So I discovered the DC much later - and fell in love with it. It's probably one of the best consoles of its era and even today it offers lots of fun. The saddest thing perhaps is to think of all the potential that was wasted when they discontinued the DC much too early. Like with many consoles some of the best games are released in the later years, when developers are already experienced enough to use the full capacaties of the hardware. Sadly that never happened for the DC. But still I have the feeling, that especially in recent years, the DC fanbase is growing even more. So at least it'll live on for this loyal fanbase and will not be forgotten. Greetings from Germany :)
I had got my copy of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure the week it came out. Loved playing it at the arcade and was excited when i found out it came out on the Dreamcast!
I wish Sonic Adventure was still cheap, Dreamcast games are no longer a "bargin bin" item. Great video and I'm a lil jelly of his complete DC collection.
@NinjaRider777R But are they they shitty ports that were on gamecube? Because in all honesty, while the gamecube version contains more content the Dreamcast versions look and sound better and feature WAY less bugs.
It's cheap on Steam for PC, in the Sega Dreamcast collection! Yeah I know it's not the same.....but I got it last week and paid $12 for Jet Grind Radio, Sonic Adventure DX, Crazy Taxi, Nights into Dreams, Sega Bass fishing and another less popular game or two.
I have PowerStone 2! My buddy had a Dreamcast when we were kids, the only one I knew of that had one. Everyone else had PlayStation or Xbox. We played the crap out of that game to the point I believe everything is unlocked/crafted (I can’t quite remember how it worked, it’s been years since I’ve played it). He ended up giving it to me when me when he went to college and I just recently found the console! I had found all the controllers, cables, and memory units but I could not find the console and thought it was lost in a move. I’m dying to set it up and play again but I don’t have a TV that will connect to it and haven’t looked into a way to connect it to a modern TV. This motivated me into finding a solution because it is one of my all time favorite games!
The Dreamcast was one of those consoles that I wish I took more seriously when it was released. There are so many great games I've missed out on. I could say the same thing about the Saturn as well haha. I sold my original and regretted ever since. I did end up picking up a second one a few years back with Sonic Adventure and Sword of the Berserk (fun game by the way!) and I'm definitely glad I have it in my collection. Now I just need to tighten my belt and start working on a more respectable game library for it. :)
I never knew anyone who had a Saturn or a Dreamcast, did once see a Dreamcast at a car boot sale but wasn't collecting then so didn't buy it, probably a mistake, haven't even seen a Dreamcast game for sale locally for years.
@@dutchgray86 It's the same here. I very rarely see Deamcast or Saturn games in the wild and when I do it's something like NHL 97 or Madden 98. Maybe I just need to go to more convention!
With the amount of games they’ve rereleased/remade in more recent times, I’m sure if enough people requested it..they would. I love how they listen to their fans
I've heard of most of these Dreamcast games you guys mentioned. I however didn't know about the limited edition version of Sonic Adventure 1. Pretty cool learning about that. I'll definitely have to keep an eye out for that version of the game. Great video as always Metal Jesus!!
Growing Perspective I have most of these titles so it's not so bad for me personally but whenever I see a big RUclipsr discussing a game I am perusing i die a little inside.
@@DiamondOre24 Lucky it were only 2 my friend. Over the years I had to replace over 40% of my cases, most of the time required me to buy complete games to get that original cases. It is kind of cool to have special cases, but it sucks that these are now so hard to get. Sometimes the blank case is more expensive than a cheap game from the system. Same issue goes for other EU systems as well...
The phrase “The man, the myth, the legend” is so overused and often hyperbole. However, this is not one of those times. John Hancock is truly a legend in the game collecting community.
Thanks for the inspiration guys! Currently doing my series of collecting ALL the dreamcast library. Feels good to have most of these checked off the list!
I have a complete Dreamcast PAL collection and it's interesting to see the difference between the prices of the versions. The most expensive PAL games are Cannon Spike (170€ - 200€), Evolution 2 (150€), Samba de Amigo (complete - 250€), Evil Twin (120 - 150€) the France exclusive Taxi le jeu and the UK exclusive Giant Killer (50 - 80€). Games like Giga Wings 2 or Power Stone 2 are very common in the PAL region.
congrats in a full set, i'm halfway through my PAL set. the big fish i still need are cannon spike, evolution 2, sega bass big box set, evil twin, giant killers and project justice. im also trying to get imports aswell im a third there on the japanese exclusives and have only 3/55 of NA gameswe didn't get this + gamecube + my budget = i be done in like 15 years :'(
I actually sold off my DC collection earlier this year - realized I hadn't touched it in years and decided I could put the money towards something I would use instead. Sold it all piecemeal and came out really good. :)
Same. I got one game on ebay and I was unhappy with how the seller gave me something not as described. As compensation he sent me illbleed. It wasnt worth much then but its probably worth as much as the other game now.
Most of these Capcom games were for the Sega Naomi arcade hardware which was essentially the Dreamcast, so yeah they were easy ports, but that means they are pretty much flawless. Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is still best on a Dreamcast.
I remember seeing Illbleed at my local Gamestop store but never got interested in buying it, now I'm regretting it. I also may have seen Powerstone 2, another game I skipped back then.
Mars Matrix and Giga Wing... the only shmups I've played where I can't pronounce my score... "Is that one thousand two hundred trillion billion ?... so... a quadrillion ?"
which jojo anime series did you like better? phantom blood/battle tendency with Hamon techniques, or Stardust Crusaders with the use of stands? I think i'm in the minority that i actually prefer the first season with the stone mask, fighting a sudo vampire-like dio and then the Pillar Men.
@@tritian5874 i'm a big fan of young Joseph joestar, the hamon for me has great movements and this part has the mostrar of one of my favorite thing in the series, the poses someone are so ridiculous than i cant stop to laugh anuncios example of this is the first apparition of the pilar men, later when araki introduces the stands i think he loses his mind a little bit but the series continues being great
I found a old copy of Illbleed in my house and thought it was a cheap game because I had never heard of it, then I looked up the game and realized I had struck gold
Same thing happened to me with Hagane for the snes. I was watching his video on collectible snes games a long long time ago and thought, wait I've seen that game before. After digging, sure enough it was there haha.
FYI guys Shenmue comes with 4 discs (3 game discs and passport disc), Shenmue Collectors version comes with 5 discs (3 game discs, passport disc and soundtrack disc). I have them all. Completed my Dreamcast set a few years ago. Thanks
A few months ago, bought an unsealed copy of Metropolis Street Racer at my local gamestore sealed for $20 for my cousin since he got a Dreamcast, and he loves racing games. Turns out when I last checked, it was $50 sealed. He opened it of course, but at least he says it's his 4th favorite game from what he owns currently.
Only game on the list I have is IllBleed, and I hated that game. Got a Dreamcast from K-Mart when it was clearanced out at $49.99. Fond, fond memories of Phantasy Star Online with the keyboard accessory and dialup internet!
Cool! I've got a mint Sonic Adventure LE! Part of a collection from I bought from an industry veteran who attended several E3s in the 90s. Bunch of cool stuff like a prototype Dreamcast and a PS1 Parappa the Rappa Demo disc that came in a cardboard case. I couldn't find any info for the demo disc on the internet.
I only got the rare games by chance by importing direct from Japanese ebay during the crash there. But you missed the more expensive games: border down, zero gunner, cosmic smash.
Great video! It’s always great to see the Immortal JH on your channel. I was surprised that you guys didn’t include Skies of Arcadia or Gunbird 2. I just spent too much acquiring both of these games off eBay. Frankly, I cannot believe how much Dreamcast games are going for as I attempt to get the games I once had back into my possession. Unfortunately, I sold my Dreamcast to purchase more PS2 games back in the early-2000s. Random thought, did you ever think of putting together a video on the best imports that include English translations for each console generation? I am looking to unlock my Dreamcast to be region-free and would love to know the best playable games out there without knowing any Japanese
This is what I love about this channel, it shows me how dumb I was as a kid to pass up on this great system when it came out. I was almost 12 when it came out and I remember my friend begging me to play it with him but I wouldn’t simply because I didn’t like the controller. God I regret that horrible decision lol
Are they really that bad? Look at the current state of AAA gaming and major Japanese developers/publishers. They are certainly much better than Konami. RE7 is apparently solid (haven't played it yet), new Mega Man and RE2. Seems to me that they have actually improved from last-gen.
wel to me they are I dont forget what they did that fast on disc dlc the street fighter 5 debackle canceling of megamen legends 2 and that other megaman game and not telling the truth why but just ly. etc it will take a long time for them to redeem themself to me o wait actualy they cant redeem themself because I am about to quit gaming at least for new consoles the one I wouldt want in my house if they payd me for it the switch is crap the only positive about it is the lack of regionlock the ps4 is way too digital and they are pretty much forcing you to pay for online. so what modern gaming is conderned I am out as soon as I have my complete vita set that is:P
wowgek7 Good comment. I'm strictly retro on new consoles and only either play retro collections or stuff with a retro aestetic. Nothing about any Xbox has ever appealed to me save Rare Replay but I can emulate all those anyway. The Switch would need something like an exclusive Castlevania before I'd remotely even think about it. But I love my Wii U and 3DS cos of the VC stuff and Nintendo are not taking that over to Switch. My PS4 was a forced purchase after my PS3 was stolen and while it's got some decent retroish stuff (Genesis / MD Collection, Reverie, Undertale) I flippin hate the lack of backwards compatibilty (even if only PS1) and the fact I used to play online Street Fighter and PES on my PS3 for nothing and I have to have a PS+ Membership for that now (and I refuse to take one out of principle).
adz693 wel the games the switch has arent the problem for me because there is enough that I like. however I hate motioncontrolls and I want my physical complete on the card some switch games you have to download half of the game to even play it (not talking about dlc or patches) I also dont want all those lose parts either. at this moment the switch hardware wise is probatly my least favorite console ever made. I refuse to pay for online if I buy a game I should be able to play the whole thing without extra costs and people saying but sony and microsoft do it too are retards just because they do it doesnt make it right to do so. thats like 1 of the worst arguments ever. oh well at least I still have many vita 3ds ds and psp games to collect afterwards before they get as expensive as nes games for example.
I have Tech Romancer, Power Stone 2, Illbleed, Project Justice, and Jojo's Bizarre. Plenty more rare Dreamcast games that could have been mentioned. Glad I was a fan so I got most of them early.
I collect for the Dreamcast and have both JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and Power Stone 2 that I found at a little gaming store in Virginia. I went in and cleaned out basically their whole Dreamcast collection and those happened to be in it.
I'm literally just down to cannon spike and project justice for my dreamcast collection. But both so stupidly expensive I'm prob just gonna have to pass. Damn food!
I think I might have a couple copies on canon spike I'm gonna try to find them and if I do I'll send it to you it means nothing to me but I can imagine what a full set would mean to you. It might take me a bit but i will come back and comment again if i find them.
@@travishowells4644 oh wow thank you. If you could then I would be in your debt forever haha. But seriously that is a truly generous offer thank you. These last few games that I need are getting hard to find and pricey, but it's been alot of fun tracking down the rest of the collection (admittedly with some headaches along the way).
I bought Cannon Spike back in the day for retail price and practically gave it away to a nephew some years later. When I realized what I had done, again some years later, I tried getting it back but alas he got rid of it...
Ah, the wonderful Dreamcast (and in my mind, the last great console). I have the following PAL versions (living in the UK, see). Cannon Spike, GigaWing 2, Tech Romancer and I think I may have Illbreed. There is something so warm about Sega Blue, even though it's a cold colour!
Lohreck me too... just completed mine a couple months back. Weirdly enough, it was both the espn sports titles that were my last 2 to grab. Kind of a pain to find.
I bought at a local gamestore about 3 months ago a factory sealed "Project Gotham Racing" for $20 as a gift to my cousin. Turns out it was worth something like $70 for prices I saw online.
My first thought was Cannon Spike. Then I see games like Mars Matrix, Project Justice, plus a ton of other Capcom games. Glad I've had an opportunity to play a lot of these, but my bank account would hate me to get these now.
I hope one day you collaborate with The Last Gamer for one of these videos, since he has a very expansive collection and knowledge I bet it would be pretty interesting well besides the hate that the video would probably get.
No, hes still doin youtube, hes in middle of building his dream arcade at his house, so hes not doin regular videos, just once a week or 2 weeks he puts a home improvement video showing the progress of it, man the things id do to have half that dudes collection, let alone his arcade collection
I own a very few games: Virtual on oratorio tangram Tony hawk 2 Resident evil 3 Resident evil code veronica Time stalkers Toy comander Aerowings Wwe attitude Mdk 2 Kof dream mathch Legacy of kane soul reaver 3 months ago I see RE 2 and Dino Crisis on a local store just for $700 mxn ($28 usd approx) but I can't buy it at that day, I return 2 days after but the games wasn't there any more and just got my heart broken.
i started buying dreamcast games disc only, putting them in DVD cases and printing custom cover art. They look nice and it doesnt break the bank trying to get them complete.
I was into the DC right at it's death when games were cheap and stores were liquidating everything. That was the best time as there was still quite the following. Having a Phantasy Star Online game night was such a treat even though it meant I had to use some oddball dialup service to connect. At one point I owned over 200 (which is the majority of the US library) games for the system. Sold most of it when I was pretty much done with it. Still have the hardware (including keyboard, mouse, vga box, loads of vmu's..) and the first Shenmue. I'm glad I didn't miss out on this back in the day. Such a great system. It was the end of the arcade era and Sega's foray into the console market.
Yea I have better luck off the HDD then burned disc but always found the Dreamcast discs easier and first burn success vrs. burning a PS2 and mid game it freezes. I also found later using a later PS2 SCPH console had better results with playing burned games but maybe it was better lasers in those models.
both the ps2 and dreamcast are stupid easy to softmod to be able to play game backups. i have both powerstone's and i don't want them to get messed up so i made backups for them for when me and my buddies play it every once and a while. if you have a dreamcast or ps2, def go for it.
I had Giga Wing 2, Project Justice and Powerstone 2 and Shenmue along with like 30 other games that I let my friend borrow like 10 years ago. He lost them somehow during a wierd moving situation.
We have most of those; Tech Romancer is my all-time favorite fighting game. I had to get the Japanese version of Cannon Spike though, NorAm copies are just insane these days (and I think I know why now lol) But the REALLY expensive ones come out of Japan. Border Down LE, Shikigami no Shiro II LE and Zero Gunner 2 come immediately to mind. EDIT: Hit me up if you come across an affordable complete NorAm Cannon Spike won't ya?! My newest project needs one!
this was a great video but its also a sad video because it basically without trying shows you just how awesome and creative a game company could be when production cost were lower no one was whining at them and there were a lot less restrictions as to what they were allowed to do. capcom you were such an amazing company and in some ways still are but now it feels like it all comes down to "were only gonna do it if were totally sure its gonna bringing big profits" which is understandable because this is how they make there living ..... just kinda sad same time. was so happy when they started doing re releases of mega man collections and announced mm11 at same time a while back they did that dark stalkers remastered collection saying if it did well wed get a new darkstalkers ....... well it made profit but they wanted massive profit so never ended up happening :\ capcom give me my new darkstalkers and start revisiting ideas like you did back in dreamcast days :p new power stone would be nice ahahaha. sorry for the little rant everyone i just over react sometimes when its something i love and wold love to see more of.
I Trust in Capcom to be very patient. I mean they are holding on to so many great games which are essentially done, like Megaman Legends 3 or Megaman Universe, but *they needed to wait until Comcept would fail so they could announce Megaman 11* and reignite the francise. *Also Devil May Cry will be getting a part 5 now after the reboot ranting finally calmed down and fans are willing to accept a new title.* Capcom needs to “stay alive“ somehow but they are still doing great stuff, but for some things you need to be very patient as the community might eat you alive if you rush a highly desired game...
About 10 years ago, before collecting got hot, I walked by a local game store and bought a DC. Then I bought about 30 games I always wanted. Now a lot of those games are relatively rare, meaning I had great taste. I'm missing Tech Romancer, Illbleed and Cannon Spike.
Shenmue limited edition with the strategy guide. I remember preordering it back in the day. I traded some good games for credit at EB Games before they were gamestop. Two of them were Ehrgeiz and Legend of Dragoon... smh. But I got Shenmue limited edition 😁
I found power stone 2 at a flea market for 50 cents… I couldn’t believe it, it was in a box full of music cds and the guy that sold it to me must have thought it was worthless
Thanks for making the video guys. We had a Hollywood Video in my small home town once. I remember when they had a going out of business sale I bought a copy of Sonic Adventure. Immediately after watching this video I rummage through my garage and found my Dreamcast and games. Sure enough I have a complete copy of Sonic Adventure Limited Edition. Unfortunately my copy has Hollywood video printed on the bottom of the CD. Keep up the good work gentlemen!!
The only game in this video that I have is Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. I got it for free from Capcom cause I was working at a Anime store and I was the only employee that had a Dreamcast. They sent it to me to try it out and they let me keep it.
I had my DC collection, along with my N64 and PlayStation collection stolen from my apartment back @2002. We had insurance, so I was able to replace 99% of what was stolen, but I never replaced GigaWing 2 and Power Stone 2. I also remember seeing Tech Romancer being sold at GameStop for 99 cents, but I'd passed on it, because it didn't look like a very good game.
I still remember buying Mars Matrix and Giga Wing 2, together, new at FuncoLand for $20 a piece. Only better DC buy I had was finding Bangai -o for $5 at Walmart.
I bought from my local gamestore a few months ago a Factory sealed copy of Metropolis Street Racer for $20 for a gift to a cousin. Had I known better, it could've been worth about $60, but he at least enjoys the game since he's a racing gamer.
Jason, I love your videon, but PLEASE stop making thoes videos. People know that those games are sooooo expensive, you're just making them more expensive because people will but those games after your videos and make them more expensive so pleeease stop making those yideos! Keep on making videos, love your channel, really!!!
DDub 64 I'm wondering that too? Unless they're unhappy he has been getting games donated to his collection or something?!? If so thats pretty dumb to get mad at when they're are channels that are constantly pushing their patreons and have poor quality vids. If its something else i apologise and i await to be educated on the issue. Good day to you.
Apparently you guys don't see the victim role John plays. He litarally is always like oh I can't afford oh I wish I could oh if I wasn't a broke teacher making poor wages but get guys I wanna announce I just finished my 17,000 dollar game room expansion. Lmao he has a degree in physcology so unless your familiar with mental warefare you guys won't see the pity party he is putting on.
And I could care less wether people donate to him. I have my own collection and I like johns videos I just hate hearing all the bullcrap pity party he is always putting on display.
Urban Chaos is one of the rarest games on the system hands down. Finding a complete copy in good shape can be tough. As of this posting for example, there are 7 complete copies of Urban Chaos on Ebay and 22 complete copies of Project Justice, 13 Mars Matrix, 11 Power Stone 2, 11 Cannon Spike. It has been under the radar for years, yet no body talks about it. Great video guys, and keep up them coming. :)
Man, I remember staying up all night playing Tech Romancer back in 2001-2002 because I had convinced myself that there was a full length anime movie hidden somewhere in the game and I just needed to keep playing to unlock it!
Tech Romancer was my most played DC game. Played the arcade version at a ski lodge in Wisconsin, came home, had my dad get it on the cheap. My copy is in rough shape, but still plays well.
I think that Capcom were using Sega's Naomi board for some of their arcade ports which was basically a Dreamcast with extra rom, so it was easy to port their titles to Dreamcast. Even with stuff using Capcom's own hardware would have been easy to port too because of their working knowledge of the Naomi's/Dreamcast's hardware.
I have a couple of these games. But what I think is my rarest piece is a Dreamcast binder that would of been given to shareholders. It talks about the features, release, and future of the Dreamcast among other things.
I got Power Stone 2 super cheap, and then went back and got the original. Actually, several of these games mentioned cost me under $30 a piece. I remember getting several of the fighting games when a used game store was closing down.
I bought Phantasy Star Online from a seller at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo which was supposed to come with a Sonic Adventure 2 demo on a second disc. To my surprise when I got home and opened the case there was no SA2 demo, instead a mint copy of Tech Romancer was in there and I only paid $8 for Phantasy Star. I still have no case or instructions for it but I'm always on the hunt for it.
I am happy with the fact that I have absolutely no desire to collect games that I don't find really fun. Like I would never spend money on that sonic version because it's a shitty half finished game that I would never play. If I had to have every game that just so happened to be rare I don't think the hobby would be much fun
I enjoy collecting for the Dreamcast very much. Even got to work at a Gamestop back in the day for the launch of the console.
Thanks for being in this video John!! SO many amazing Dreamcast games! :)
You have setup one awesome investment account. I can't play my 401k, but you can.
Dreamcast is undoubtely 1 of the greatest consoles ever made such incredible games! Great video!!
That's a great point made at the end of the vid that i can't stress enough to people: most expensive games were once cheap and sometimes common. Time renders them in a different light sometimes, i remember seeing pretty much all of these for $20 back in the day.
I have a great collection for the Dreamcast but am missing still quite a bit but even have some imports many manuals and even some of the odd things like the bags and my bro has quite a few of the rear ones and even a kiosk of the Dreamcast but if you are needing some games for your collection let me know I have some duplicates but I would need to know what you need and what would you suggest for my collection that I have of these systems: Sega Systems:Dreamcast, Game Gear, Genesis, Saturn. Nintendo Systems: Nes, Snes, Gameboy Advance, Wii, Ds, 3ds, Game Cube, Nintendo 64. PlayStation Systems: Ps, Ps2, Psp 1000 and 2000. Xbox Systems: Xbox 360. Atari/ColicoVision Systems: ColicoVision and Adam Computer with built in ColicoVision with floppy disc reader for dragons lair and even plays buck rogers on cassette tape plus the Atari 2600 attachment module 1, and last but not least Atari 5200 with the 4 controller ports. what games do you suggest to get and what do you think I should do for my collection as I keep collecting on them.
The Dreamcast did not deserve to crash and burn. Sega made so many terrible decisions prior, dooming the Dreamcast.
It was really the ease of piracy and the PS2 that killed it. Windows CE was a double edged sword, because it's why it was so easy to develop and optimize for, but it also left it wide open.
Sega did it to themselves...just reading Console Wars really gives you perspective to the misstep after misstep that lead up to Dreamcast.
Still my favorite system ever.
@@SotNist the windows version had nothing to do with it to start. You could literally burn the games and play them there was no disc or software protection implemented. It released around the same time CD burners became super inexpensive and common as the alternative was zip disks and expensive standalone hard drives or floppy. Windows ce has no user/file rights besides hide and read only but without user rights like Unix anyone could change even those 2 things
Games which utilized the Windows CE and DIrect X SDK option had the operating system on the disc. I think it was designed to be receptive with this in mind, and ended up just being completely wide open to boot discs and ISO's because of it.
mushy, you're wrong. There was copy protection (obviously), it was just relatively easy to bypass it. The reason why you can play burned discs on unmodded systems is that the "program," or whatever you call it, is already on those ISOs you download from the net.
I like how John always says "funny/crazy story on this one..." And then his 'story' just ends up being he walked into a store and bought it LOL John usually doesn't speak on monetary value jus his luv of the games so its cool see him collab w/MJR & touch on different subjects like rarity & worth
John Hancock always looks so genuinely happy and enthusiastic in these movies. Love it.
he looks so awesome
Man I love Power Stone 2 “A solid beginning may lead to a perfect ending. Go for it!”
it is such a rush when you have 3 other players playing with you in that game.
Power Stone os look like a Smash Bros 3D. Great game to play with friends
I remeber buying my Dreamcast at Sears when they were 99.99 towards the end of its life and my mom bought it for my brother and I. We got to pick two games, I got Evil Dead and my brother got marvel vs capcom 1. DCast is in my top three favorite consoles. Love it in all its glory. Haha
The original Power Stone was actually what hooked me on the console. It was such a fun game! I just wish I stuck with the Dreamcast at the time instead of selling it! You live an learn I guess haha ;)
Same here. Powerstone Collection on PSP was the definitive version in my opinion. Yea you couldn’t do local coop, but all the extras and features made up for it. Loved being able to play as Valgas and Kraken on Power Stone 2 which could only be done on the PSP version.
CORRECTION: I accidentally showed GigaWing1 for GigaWing2 footage. It was a mistake on my part during editing. Sorry for the confusion.
Dylan yes I did. Want the video again around the 6 min mark!
Just wanted to say, as a new subscriber is utterly amazing. I'm having so much fun going through the archive of videos here and definitely looking forward to what comes next. Thank you for being awesome!
didn't see any of the expensive/ rare exclusives european games, should change the title to north american games.
no MoHo which is more expensive then everything i seen here, goes for £160-200.
no french exclusive taxi 2
no evil twin
no aqua gt
Capcom invested a lot on the dreamcast cuz it was the closest hardware to arcades back in the day.
The Dreamcast architecture was close or identical to the Naomi arcade boards that capcom had used for their own games such as: Capcom vs SNK 1 and 2, Marvel Vs Capcom 2, Project Justice and Power Stone. It was reasonably simple to port.
They also released updated versions of games. Plasma Sword (Star Gladiator 2) and Tech Romancer in arcades ran on a PS1 based arcade board, yet they got amped up releases on Dreamcast with reworked models and effects.
The Dreamcast was also the only system at the time that could properly handle CPS3 games such as Warzard/Red Earth, SFIII and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
I wondered why Capcom supported the DC. Back during it's self life, I thought they wanted to merge with Sega.
Shame Red Earth never got a home release.
See... that's the part i don't get. Why pay hundreds for 3rd Strike, JoJo, Gigawing2, etc. when you can buy a $10 clip and easily play the arcade originals minus the DC's loading times but plus the unported ones like Red Earth + Strider 2 on basically any mobile with Mame4droid and just hook up your XBone/PS4/Pro-Pad via Bluetooth ? It's like getting a NeoGeo CD game when you already have free lifetime access to the original Arcade Board... ? Get the system's exclusives ? Absolutely. Get the overpriced multi-system releases too ? If money is not an issue, why would I blame you ? But if you're on a budget it can can save you lots amounts of money if you purchase them on either another system (e.g. Gamecube) or if you look up the games on Steam first. Even system exclusives from way back then tend to pop up there sooner or later (thinking of Crimson Skies and Fable on the 1st Xbox for example)
@@chrislaivier8459 for some people it isn't a matter of accessibility. I mean. Anybody can get an emulator and run the games. But collectors like having and owning the real deal, specially if it's a piece of history or something that really has personal investment. Sometimes it's not about being able to play it, even. It's a phenomenon akin to art and collectibles. Some are into the feeling of having something rare, something limited, something that doesn't exist anymore, the item gets a mystique to it as if it's an artifact.
Shenmue is the greatest game for Dreamcast. The 1st time I played that I got so immersed and hooked. The music is great and the fighting was so good
😆 finding that illbleed on the cheap kicked off my Dreamcast collection. Found it for $10
Probably was a Repro
@@wnbafanaticforlife1 nah it was a legit copy.
I bought it new back in the days. Survival Horror buff here. Really wanted to love it. Couldn't figure it out, dismissed it as trash, traded it back in to EB for something else. Or maybe I just got cash back to buy a bag of weed or something (you could do that back then). Around 2005-ish I read a positive review on it on the net somewhere, and was just getting back into Dreamcast, so I scooped it back up on eBay. It was so long ago I don't remember what I paid, but I know I didn't pay anymore than $20 for it. Figured out the mechanics, played through it, and beat it. A cool, fun, unique game that suffers from some broken and clunky mechanics here and there that make the experience more frustrating than it needed to be. But there's nothing else like it, and it's definitely better than Blue Stinger. I'm glad I gave it another shot, and glad I got a copy long before the prices for everything got stupid.
remember playing a binder full of burned Dreamcast games in high school at my friends house
The demise of Sega after the Dreamcast is like an unhealing wound for me.. when it came out back in 99’ i bought one day 1 and I convinced my two best friends to buy a console each so the 3 of us would play these games to death, usually having all weekend gaming marathons. Phantasy Star, sonic adventure, RE code Veronica, house of the dead, shenmue, project justice & powerstone were all amazing games that blew us away. There’s just so many fun games on the DC! After Sega called it quits a part of me died. I stupidly traded in my old consoles and library of games but after 2008 I stopped and have now amassed a pretty sweet collection. The Dreamcast will always have a place in my heart.
MetalMonkey traded a lot of my old stuff too. I still have a good collection but nowhere near what I had.
Jerm Inator that sucks man, seems like it was the thing to do
Beautiful comment. I felt every word you said. My Dreamcast experience was very different, but the console still has a special place in my heart. I'm from Germany and the sad thing was, that I missed the release of the DC completely.
Not sure, if it generally was like this in Germany, but at least in my small town, this console was nowhere to be found. No advertisements and nobody was selling it. The other thing was, I lost interest in gaming back then and didn't read any magazines anymore. Many other stuff was going on in my life.
So I discovered the DC much later - and fell in love with it. It's probably one of the best consoles of its era and even today it offers lots of fun. The saddest thing perhaps is to think of all the potential that was wasted when they discontinued the DC much too early. Like with many consoles some of the best games are released in the later years, when developers are already experienced enough to use the full capacaties of the hardware. Sadly that never happened for the DC.
But still I have the feeling, that especially in recent years, the DC fanbase is growing even more. So at least it'll live on for this loyal fanbase and will not be forgotten.
Greetings from Germany :)
I had got my copy of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure the week it came out. Loved playing it at the arcade and was excited when i found out it came out on the Dreamcast!
I used to own every single one of these. Bought them when they came out, and now I’m depressed.
I wish Sonic Adventure was still cheap, Dreamcast games are no longer a "bargin bin" item. Great video and I'm a lil jelly of his complete DC collection.
i got alot of these on Ebay years ago so cheap...i went back and look now after this video and im like WTF! glad i still have thise games lol
@NinjaRider777R But are they they shitty ports that were on gamecube? Because in all honesty, while the gamecube version contains more content the Dreamcast versions look and sound better and feature WAY less bugs.
I basically only get physical games but thanks for the info. I don't even have a Steam account LOL.
RIGHT! I wish I never sold my first collection...2 Conkers Bad Fur Days, a Secret of Mana in box and so much more.
It's cheap on Steam for PC, in the Sega Dreamcast collection! Yeah I know it's not the same.....but I got it last week and paid $12 for Jet Grind Radio, Sonic Adventure DX, Crazy Taxi, Nights into Dreams, Sega Bass fishing and another less popular game or two.
I have PowerStone 2! My buddy had a Dreamcast when we were kids, the only one I knew of that had one. Everyone else had PlayStation or Xbox. We played the crap out of that game to the point I believe everything is unlocked/crafted (I can’t quite remember how it worked, it’s been years since I’ve played it). He ended up giving it to me when me when he went to college and I just recently found the console! I had found all the controllers, cables, and memory units but I could not find the console and thought it was lost in a move. I’m dying to set it up and play again but I don’t have a TV that will connect to it and haven’t looked into a way to connect it to a modern TV. This motivated me into finding a solution because it is one of my all time favorite games!
The Dreamcast was one of those consoles that I wish I took more seriously when it was released. There are so many great games I've missed out on. I could say the same thing about the Saturn as well haha.
I sold my original and regretted ever since. I did end up picking up a second one a few years back with Sonic Adventure and Sword of the Berserk (fun game by the way!) and I'm definitely glad I have it in my collection. Now I just need to tighten my belt and start working on a more respectable game library for it. :)
I never knew anyone who had a Saturn or a Dreamcast, did once see a Dreamcast at a car boot sale but wasn't collecting then so didn't buy it, probably a mistake, haven't even seen a Dreamcast game for sale locally for years.
@@dutchgray86 It's the same here. I very rarely see Deamcast or Saturn games in the wild and when I do it's something like NHL 97 or Madden 98.
Maybe I just need to go to more convention!
Roms
Sword of the Berserk is awesome. I had that on my Dreamcast but sadly sold it.
Yeah I was a Sony fan boy and being a hater but I play it all the time now so whatever it’s all fresh to me
I recently stumbled on your channel and I have to say it’s great. Love the retro gaming reviews and like seeing the good ol school stuff. I subbed btw
I love project justice. I wish capcom would rerelease it.
i forgot about these game ima go home and play it after work...wish i still have rival schools
With the amount of games they’ve rereleased/remade in more recent times, I’m sure if enough people requested it..they would. I love how they listen to their fans
@@illmatticx yh
Both that and Tech Romancer are both great, unique 3D fighters. But Capcom stuck with 2D.
@@AgentMorgan2010 techromancer is awesome!
Because of COVID and the Movies, Sonic Adventure 2 has spiked in value, now it’s $150 a complete copy
I've heard of most of these Dreamcast games you guys mentioned. I however didn't know about the limited edition version of Sonic Adventure 1. Pretty cool learning about that. I'll definitely have to keep an eye out for that version of the game. Great video as always Metal Jesus!!
Well these games just got even more expensive!
😭
Growing Perspective I have most of these titles so it's not so bad for me personally but whenever I see a big RUclipsr discussing a game I am perusing i die a little inside.
Growing Perspective I know bro, I never took it that way. Just expanding my thoughts.
QQ
I feel like you guys will whine about anything. If you can't afford it then you shouldn't buy it. Simple as that.
I wish we got the normal cd-boxes here in Europe, since the plastic hinges of the case break off in shipping.
Yeah I have had that issue as well. Two of my cases have arrived broken.
@@DiamondOre24
Lucky it were only 2 my friend.
Over the years I had to replace over 40% of my cases, most of the time required me to buy complete games to get that original cases.
It is kind of cool to have special cases, but it sucks that these are now so hard to get.
Sometimes the blank case is more expensive than a cheap game from the system.
Same issue goes for other EU systems as well...
They are a bastard for breaking but when they are in top condition i think they look the best
The phrase “The man, the myth, the legend” is so overused and often hyperbole. However, this is not one of those times. John Hancock is truly a legend in the game collecting community.
Thanks for the inspiration guys! Currently doing my series of collecting ALL the dreamcast library. Feels good to have most of these checked off the list!
I have a complete Dreamcast PAL collection and it's interesting to see the difference between the prices of the versions. The most expensive PAL games are Cannon Spike (170€ - 200€), Evolution 2 (150€), Samba de Amigo (complete - 250€), Evil Twin (120 - 150€) the France exclusive Taxi le jeu and the UK exclusive Giant Killer (50 - 80€). Games like Giga Wings 2 or Power Stone 2 are very common in the PAL region.
You forgot Moho. Goes for 100€+ which is insane considering it's absolutely terrible!
@@DrLeatherface 100 euros for moho good luck with that more like £200 to get it
the PAL big box for the sega bass fishing game and rod is also rare, also while not mega expensive you forgot aqua gt
congrats in a full set, i'm halfway through my PAL set. the big fish i still need are cannon spike, evolution 2, sega bass big box set, evil twin, giant killers and project justice.
im also trying to get imports aswell im a third there on the japanese exclusives and have only 3/55 of NA gameswe didn't get
this + gamecube + my budget = i be done in like 15 years :'(
@@SEGAtendo1989 Got them both for 10€ each... I forgot the Capcom fighting games.
John sounds a LOT like John C Reilly.
If John Hancock has a drum set, I wouldn't wanna be anywhere near it
Can't unhear this.
I've been commenting this for years! Glad someone else hears it
not even a little bit lol...
Close Your Eyes
Project Justice and Power Stone was my games I used to play on ends. Great video guys.
I actually sold off my DC collection earlier this year - realized I hadn't touched it in years and decided I could put the money towards something I would use instead. Sold it all piecemeal and came out really good. :)
I love ill bleed! I remember getting that game before it shot up in price, I got basically a new copy for $20 lol
Same. I got one game on ebay and I was unhappy with how the seller gave me something not as described. As compensation he sent me illbleed. It wasnt worth much then but its probably worth as much as the other game now.
Most of these Capcom games were for the Sega Naomi arcade hardware which was essentially the Dreamcast, so yeah they were easy ports, but that means they are pretty much flawless. Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is still best on a Dreamcast.
I remember seeing Illbleed at my local Gamestop store but never got interested in buying it, now I'm regretting it. I also may have seen Powerstone 2, another game I skipped back then.
Mars Matrix and Giga Wing... the only shmups I've played where I can't pronounce my score... "Is that one thousand two hundred trillion billion ?... so... a quadrillion ?"
Jojo is the best series produced in japan, the ultimate anime experience
which jojo anime series did you like better? phantom blood/battle tendency with Hamon techniques, or Stardust Crusaders with the use of stands? I think i'm in the minority that i actually prefer the first season with the stone mask, fighting a sudo vampire-like dio and then the Pillar Men.
@@tritian5874 i'm a big fan of young Joseph joestar, the hamon for me has great movements and this part has the mostrar of one of my favorite thing in the series, the poses someone are so ridiculous than i cant stop to laugh anuncios example of this is the first apparition of the pilar men, later when araki introduces the stands i think he loses his mind a little bit but the series continues being great
I got the ps1 fighting game which has Super Story Mode and O was blown away by its insanity.
I found a old copy of Illbleed in my house and thought it was a cheap game because I had never heard of it, then I looked up the game and realized I had struck gold
Luckyyyy.
Same thing happened to me with Hagane for the snes. I was watching his video on collectible snes games a long long time ago and thought, wait I've seen that game before. After digging, sure enough it was there haha.
Same with my Misadventures of Tron Bonne for PS1!
1 of only 2 US imports I own. Paid about £6 including postage fees around 17 years ago. Still on my list of games to play what I haven't played yet.
All our Dreamcast games have been bought up by private collectors here in Australia none are available for sale to the public anymore.
FYI guys Shenmue comes with 4 discs (3 game discs and passport disc), Shenmue Collectors version comes with 5 discs (3 game discs, passport disc and soundtrack disc). I have them all. Completed my Dreamcast set a few years ago. Thanks
Shenmue Limited Edition isn't all that rare or expensive. I see them all the time on eBay for around $40.
DreamcasticChannel right, skies of Arcadia goes for more.
Oh God, that Jojo fighting game. I'm a huge Jojo fan and I need that in my life!
Got the ps1 versiom here
The Japanese version is actually cheaper so you should try region moding your dreamcast
You can play it in fightcade but I’m guessing that you want to legally play it
Man, I would love to live at John's house. It's a treasure trove of geeky gamer goodness.
A few months ago, bought an unsealed copy of Metropolis Street Racer at my local gamestore sealed for $20 for my cousin since he got a Dreamcast, and he loves racing games. Turns out when I last checked, it was $50 sealed. He opened it of course, but at least he says it's his 4th favorite game from what he owns currently.
Only game on the list I have is IllBleed, and I hated that game. Got a Dreamcast from K-Mart when it was clearanced out at $49.99. Fond, fond memories of Phantasy Star Online with the keyboard accessory and dialup internet!
you lose your wedding band MetalJesusRocks? or do you take it off when playing guitar like most of us do and forgot to put it back on? lol
Cool! I've got a mint Sonic Adventure LE! Part of a collection from I bought from an industry veteran who attended several E3s in the 90s. Bunch of cool stuff like a prototype Dreamcast and a PS1 Parappa the Rappa Demo disc that came in a cardboard case. I couldn't find any info for the demo disc on the internet.
I only got the rare games by chance by importing direct from Japanese ebay during the crash there. But you missed the more expensive games: border down, zero gunner, cosmic smash.
I wish there was a channel in German like this with video game talk.
You can make it :-)
Agreed start one
Make it!
Ja bitte! :D
Allie Fettig There are MANY. Unser zum Beispiel 😂👍
Great video! It’s always great to see the Immortal JH on your channel. I was surprised that you guys didn’t include Skies of Arcadia or Gunbird 2. I just spent too much acquiring both of these games off eBay. Frankly, I cannot believe how much Dreamcast games are going for as I attempt to get the games I once had back into my possession. Unfortunately, I sold my Dreamcast to purchase more PS2 games back in the early-2000s.
Random thought, did you ever think of putting together a video on the best imports that include English translations for each console generation? I am looking to unlock my Dreamcast to be region-free and would love to know the best playable games out there without knowing any Japanese
You finally got this type of video right. Stupidly expensive rare games and you actually give a price range this time. Well done.
This is what I love about this channel, it shows me how dumb I was as a kid to pass up on this great system when it came out. I was almost 12 when it came out and I remember my friend begging me to play it with him but I wouldn’t simply because I didn’t like the controller. God I regret that horrible decision lol
My girlfriend helped me get at least 4 out of this list.
Needless to say, we are happily engaged.
Dreamcast Hunting is hard!
Not as hard as Saturn hunting, Dreamcast is definitely more worth it tho
Divorced yet? It’s 2020
Here, let me correct the title for you:
"Stupidly Expensive $$$ & RARE CAPCOM DREAMCAST Games"
There ya go ;-)
Stupidly Expensive $$$ & RARE CRAPCOM DREAMCAST Games
you forgot the R in crapcom
Are they really that bad? Look at the current state of AAA gaming and major Japanese developers/publishers. They are certainly much better than Konami. RE7 is apparently solid (haven't played it yet), new Mega Man and RE2. Seems to me that they have actually improved from last-gen.
wel to me they are I dont forget what they did that fast
on disc dlc
the street fighter 5 debackle
canceling of megamen legends 2 and that other megaman game and not telling the truth why but just ly.
etc
it will take a long time for them to redeem themself to me
o wait actualy they cant redeem themself because I am about to quit gaming at least for new consoles
the one I wouldt want in my house if they payd me for it
the switch is crap the only positive about it is the lack of regionlock
the ps4 is way too digital and they are pretty much forcing you to pay for online.
so what modern gaming is conderned I am out
as soon as I have my complete vita set that is:P
wowgek7 Good comment. I'm strictly retro on new consoles and only either play retro collections or stuff with a retro aestetic. Nothing about any Xbox has ever appealed to me save Rare Replay but I can emulate all those anyway. The Switch would need something like an exclusive Castlevania before I'd remotely even think about it. But I love my Wii U and 3DS cos of the VC stuff and Nintendo are not taking that over to Switch. My PS4 was a forced purchase after my PS3 was stolen and while it's got some decent retroish stuff (Genesis / MD Collection, Reverie, Undertale) I flippin hate the lack of backwards compatibilty (even if only PS1) and the fact I used to play online Street Fighter and PES on my PS3 for nothing and I have to have a PS+ Membership for that now (and I refuse to take one out of principle).
adz693 wel the games the switch has arent the problem for me because there is enough that I like. however I hate motioncontrolls and I want my physical complete on the card some switch games you have to download half of the game to even play it (not talking about dlc or patches)
I also dont want all those lose parts either.
at this moment the switch hardware wise is probatly my least favorite console ever made.
I refuse to pay for online if I buy a game I should be able to play the whole thing without extra costs and people saying but sony and microsoft do it too are retards
just because they do it doesnt make it right to do so. thats like 1 of the worst arguments ever.
oh well at least I still have many vita 3ds ds and psp games to collect afterwards before they get as expensive as nes games for example.
I have Tech Romancer, Power Stone 2, Illbleed, Project Justice, and Jojo's Bizarre. Plenty more rare Dreamcast games that could have been mentioned. Glad I was a fan so I got most of them early.
I collect for the Dreamcast and have both JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and Power Stone 2 that I found at a little gaming store in Virginia. I went in and cleaned out basically their whole Dreamcast collection and those happened to be in it.
I'm literally just down to cannon spike and project justice for my dreamcast collection. But both so stupidly expensive I'm prob just gonna have to pass. Damn food!
I think I might have a couple copies on canon spike I'm gonna try to find them and if I do I'll send it to you it means nothing to me but I can imagine what a full set would mean to you. It might take me a bit but i will come back and comment again if i find them.
@@travishowells4644 oh wow thank you. If you could then I would be in your debt forever haha. But seriously that is a truly generous offer thank you.

I bought Cannon Spike back in the day for retail price and practically gave it away to a nephew some years later. When I realized what I had done, again some years later, I tried getting it back but alas he got rid of it...
Ah, the wonderful Dreamcast (and in my mind, the last great console). I have the following PAL versions (living in the UK, see). Cannon Spike, GigaWing 2, Tech Romancer and I think I may have Illbreed. There is something so warm about Sega Blue, even though it's a cold colour!
I love this channel. Such a reference point for retro gamers around the world! Cheers from Spain.
Love the Dreamcast, only console i got a full set (US without variants).
Lohreck me too... just completed mine a couple months back. Weirdly enough, it was both the espn sports titles that were my last 2 to grab. Kind of a pain to find.
I bought at a local gamestore about 3 months ago a factory sealed "Project Gotham Racing" for $20 as a gift to my cousin. Turns out it was worth something like $70 for prices I saw online.
My first thought was Cannon Spike. Then I see games like Mars Matrix, Project Justice, plus a ton of other Capcom games. Glad I've had an opportunity to play a lot of these, but my bank account would hate me to get these now.
I hope one day you collaborate with The Last Gamer for one of these videos, since he has a very expansive collection and knowledge I bet it would be pretty interesting well besides the hate that the video would probably get.

3 months ago I see RE 2 and Dino Crisis on a local store just for $700 mxn ($28 usd approx) but I can't buy it at that day, I return 2 days after but the games wasn't there any more and just got my heart broken.
i started buying dreamcast games disc only, putting them in DVD cases and printing custom cover art. They look nice and it doesnt break the bank trying to get them complete.
I was into the DC right at it's death when games were cheap and stores were liquidating everything. That was the best time as there was still quite the following. Having a Phantasy Star Online game night was such a treat even though it meant I had to use some oddball dialup service to connect. At one point I owned over 200 (which is the majority of the US library) games for the system. Sold most of it when I was pretty much done with it. Still have the hardware (including keyboard, mouse, vga box, loads of vmu's..) and the first Shenmue. I'm glad I didn't miss out on this back in the day. Such a great system. It was the end of the arcade era and Sega's foray into the console market.
Could you do a rare AND EXPENSIVE VIDEO ON turbo graphics or master system
9-9-99 It's Thinking, thinking about how to burn ISO's.
You can get the cdi files and burn to a regular CD. If your dreamcast was 1st edition you can play them on it.

Real easy to do and better success at playback than my PS2 backups.
Yea I have better luck off the HDD then burned disc but always found the Dreamcast discs easier and first burn success vrs. burning a PS2 and mid game it freezes. I also found later using a later PS2 SCPH console had better results with playing burned games but maybe it was better lasers in those models.
both the ps2 and dreamcast are stupid easy to softmod to be able to play game backups. i have both powerstone's and i don't want them to get messed up so i made backups for them for when me and my buddies play it every once and a while. if you have a dreamcast or ps2, def go for it.
I had Giga Wing 2, Project Justice and Powerstone 2 and Shenmue along with like 30 other games that I let my friend borrow like 10 years ago. He lost them somehow during a wierd moving situation.
Always appreciate when the DreamCast gets some love.
We have most of those; Tech Romancer is my all-time favorite fighting game. I had to get the Japanese version of Cannon Spike though, NorAm copies are just insane these days (and I think I know why now lol)
But the REALLY expensive ones come out of Japan. Border Down LE, Shikigami no Shiro II LE and Zero Gunner 2 come immediately to mind.
EDIT: Hit me up if you come across an affordable complete NorAm Cannon Spike won't ya?! My newest project needs one!
this was a great video but its also a sad video because it basically without trying shows you just how awesome and creative a game company could be when production cost were lower no one was whining at them and there were a lot less restrictions as to what they were allowed to do. capcom you were such an amazing company and in some ways still are but now it feels like it all comes down to "were only gonna do it if were totally sure its gonna bringing big profits" which is understandable because this is how they make there living ..... just kinda sad same time. was so happy when they started doing re releases of mega man collections and announced mm11 at same time a while back they did that dark stalkers remastered collection saying if it did well wed get a new darkstalkers ....... well it made profit but they wanted massive profit so never ended up happening :\ capcom give me my new darkstalkers and start revisiting ideas like you did back in dreamcast days :p new power stone would be nice ahahaha. sorry for the little rant everyone i just over react sometimes when its something i love and wold love to see more of.
I Trust in Capcom to be very patient.
I mean they are holding on to so many great games which are essentially done, like Megaman Legends 3 or Megaman Universe, but *they needed to wait until Comcept would fail so they could announce Megaman 11* and reignite the francise.
*Also Devil May Cry will be getting a part 5 now after the reboot ranting finally calmed down and fans are willing to accept a new title.*
Capcom needs to “stay alive“ somehow but they are still doing great stuff, but for some things you need to be very patient as the community might eat you alive if you rush a highly desired game...
Oh yeah that Speed Devils variant is rare, along with the Rayman T-Shirt Bundle and Power Stone Rental Copy
I have Power Stone 2 and Cannon Spike. My favorite Dreamcast game is probably Record of Lodoss War though.
Awh no.... I've been trying to get Illbleed for so long and now it's only going to get more expensive after this video.
These guys try to talk their self rich with these o so expensive games videos.
Find the ISO and burn it to a cd. Voila.
Wow I actually own all of these games. I dont feel so bad anymore
About 10 years ago, before collecting got hot, I walked by a local game store and bought a DC. Then I bought about 30 games I always wanted. Now a lot of those games are relatively rare, meaning I had great taste. I'm missing Tech Romancer, Illbleed and Cannon Spike.
Shenmue limited edition with the strategy guide. I remember preordering it back in the day. I traded some good games for credit at EB Games before they were gamestop. Two of them were Ehrgeiz and Legend of Dragoon... smh. But I got Shenmue limited edition 😁
i think i'm rich i own all this games :o never thought they were much worth i bought them for 10 or 20 bucks (ps:some of them are even sealed)
you should sell them all and put a down payment on a condo in San Francisco
Now the rare games are gonna be more expensive!
For the time being
I found power stone 2 at a flea market for 50 cents… I couldn’t believe it, it was in a box full of music cds and the guy that sold it to me must have thought it was worthless
Thanks for making the video guys. We had a Hollywood Video in my small home town once. I remember when they had a going out of business sale I bought a copy of Sonic Adventure. Immediately after watching this video I rummage through my garage and found my Dreamcast and games. Sure enough I have a complete copy of Sonic Adventure Limited Edition. Unfortunately my copy has Hollywood video printed on the bottom of the CD. Keep up the good work gentlemen!!
Thanks man, now I got to pay even more for these games because trendy douches want them now. I had a dreamcast before it was cool...
I wonder if anything would be different now if the Xbox had supported Dreamcast games like they had thought about doing.
Whaaaat? I never knew this, wish they did!
Don't forget the dreamcast runs s type of windows.
I think it would be way different
The Xbox was an unofficial Dreamcast 2 if you think about it.
Dont know how true it is but i remember hearing that Halo was gonna be a Dreamcast game first.
The only game in this video that I have is Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. I got it for free from Capcom cause I was working at a Anime store and I was the only employee that had a Dreamcast. They sent it to me to try it out and they let me keep it.
I had my DC collection, along with my N64 and PlayStation collection stolen from my apartment back @2002. We had insurance, so I was able to replace 99% of what was stolen, but I never replaced GigaWing 2 and Power Stone 2. I also remember seeing Tech Romancer being sold at GameStop for 99 cents, but I'd passed on it, because it didn't look like a very good game.
do a sega genesis buying guide.
"Beyond Oasis" - and you're all set! :D
great idea!
@@PrinceXTC86 good pick. I'm going with Contra Hardcorps
I think they got one somewhere
Streets of rage 1 2 3. Sonic 1 2 and 3. Maximum carnage. Golden axe.
You have 500k subs .
But you deserve 50milion
I still remember buying Mars Matrix and Giga Wing 2, together, new at FuncoLand for $20 a piece. Only better DC buy I had was finding Bangai -o for $5 at Walmart.
I bought from my local gamestore a few months ago a Factory sealed copy of Metropolis Street Racer for $20 for a gift to a cousin. Had I known better, it could've been worth about $60, but he at least enjoys the game since he's a racing gamer.
Jason, I love your videon, but PLEASE stop making thoes videos. People know that those games are sooooo expensive, you're just making them more expensive because people will but those games after your videos and make them more expensive so pleeease stop making those yideos! Keep on making videos, love your channel, really!!!
I love metaljesus videos but why does he keep making videos with the immortal beggar John hancock.
:-D
Because John is a cool dude and a friend of Jason's? But sure, call him names
DDub 64 I'm wondering that too? Unless they're unhappy he has been getting games donated to his collection or something?!? If so thats pretty dumb to get mad at when they're are channels that are constantly pushing their patreons and have poor quality vids. If its something else i apologise and i await to be educated on the issue. Good day to you.
Apparently you guys don't see the victim role John plays. He litarally is always like oh I can't afford oh I wish I could oh if I wasn't a broke teacher making poor wages but get guys I wanna announce I just finished my 17,000 dollar game room expansion. Lmao he has a degree in physcology so unless your familiar with mental warefare you guys won't see the pity party he is putting on.
And I could care less wether people donate to him. I have my own collection and I like johns videos I just hate hearing all the bullcrap pity party he is always putting on display.
Urban Chaos is one of the rarest games on the system hands down. Finding a complete copy in good shape can be tough. As of this posting for example, there are 7 complete copies of Urban Chaos on Ebay and 22 complete copies of Project Justice, 13 Mars Matrix, 11 Power Stone 2, 11 Cannon Spike. It has been under the radar for years, yet no body talks about it. Great video guys, and keep up them coming. :)
Man, I remember staying up all night playing Tech Romancer back in 2001-2002 because I had convinced myself that there was a full length anime movie hidden somewhere in the game and I just needed to keep playing to unlock it!
You guys need to shop for these games in Canada cause Tech Romancers in my area is selling for 30$ and Project Justice for about 50$ to 60$.
Tech Romancer was my most played DC game. Played the arcade version at a ski lodge in Wisconsin, came home, had my dad get it on the cheap. My copy is in rough shape, but still plays well.
I was surprised to learn that my copy of Tech Romancer sells for what it does, discovered that out about a year ago; same goes for Illbleed.
I think that Capcom were using Sega's Naomi board for some of their arcade ports which was basically a Dreamcast with extra rom, so it was easy to port their titles to Dreamcast.
Even with stuff using Capcom's own hardware would have been easy to port too because of their working knowledge of the Naomi's/Dreamcast's hardware.
I have a couple of these games. But what I think is my rarest piece is a Dreamcast binder that would of been given to shareholders. It talks about the features, release, and future of the Dreamcast among other things.
feels good to have bought power stone 1 and 2 for almost nothing back in the day
I got Power Stone 2 super cheap, and then went back and got the original.
Actually, several of these games mentioned cost me under $30 a piece. I remember getting several of the fighting games when a used game store was closing down.
I bought Phantasy Star Online from a seller at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo which was supposed to come with a Sonic Adventure 2 demo on a second disc. To my surprise when I got home and opened the case there was no SA2 demo, instead a mint copy of Tech Romancer was in there and I only paid $8 for Phantasy Star. I still have no case or instructions for it but I'm always on the hunt for it.
I am happy with the fact that I have absolutely no desire to collect games that I don't find really fun. Like I would never spend money on that sonic version because it's a shitty half finished game that I would never play. If I had to have every game that just so happened to be rare I don't think the hobby would be much fun
