To answer your question on what its like to collect for the Dreamcast I got it on 9/9/99 and 23 years later I'm proud to say that I only need 2 more games for a complete NA library. The only thing better than collecting Dreamcast games is actually playing them and I'm (well trying) to complete every game and I have found so many hidden gems on this incredible system. The variety of games is also astounding as well and my friend stop by my apartment just about every week to play it 🙂
@@immitationstation3369 Good cuz that OEM controller is fucking god awful. People love to praise everything about the Dreamcast but that controller can suck cocks in hell.
Picked up a Dreamcast this week and my goodness, it felt like I was Jason Bourne collecting a memory I always wish I had, definitely one of the highlights of retro gaming and collecting.
The beeping upon startup has become an iconic part of the system...along with the loud fan.....and the grinding everytime the laser moves. Some would say it gives the system character. Wish I started collecting earlier with the DC because the prices are climbing fast.
A retro game store near me was selling a Dreamcast with two controllers and two vmus and a free game of your choice for $150. Sounded like a cool deal, until they told me that they haven't/won't test it and wouldn't allow returns. I told them about the lasers all dying out and still wouldn't budge. It's insane to be a retro game store and not test your games or consoles.
I have a theory on those lasers. I found a Dreamcast in a storage shed, all yellowed and beat up. Wouldn’t load games. What I had noticed is that the cables used for the laser disk are very brittle and the coating they use is very weak. What I did was I swapped all the gdu driver board caps with new capacitors (using ceramics instead of electrolytics this time.) I used a new laser flex cable and I set the potentiometer to the standard .6 volts (if I recall correctly) I think that the lasers are perfectly strong and lasting, but perhaps the other components on these “legacy” units, are more prone to failure. My DC works like a charm, in the meantime, the gears for the laser are made of a weak material, replacing them with brass just about eliminates noise. There’s a specific gear that cracks, and I think this is the failure of the disk reader. In the near future I may make a guide to this and or sell them restored to last.
@NathanialLackey Wow, nice find and good work. Definitely post a guide at the very least. Maybe contribute on a site like retroRGB if you don't have a blog to post on? Let's keep our Dreamcasts alive!
Collecting peripherals is a whole other fun aspect of the Dreamcast. Arcade sticks, wheels, twin Stick controllers, train controllers, dance mats, fishing rods... It never ends!
The Dreamcast supports high res graphics via VGA with an adapter, which you can use with a computer monitor (probably available cheap at your local thrift store) or sometimes an HDTV. If you want something really unique to play, there's Seaman and Typing of the Dead.
Love the video!! I remember seeing Power Stone on the Dreamcast for the first time in a Software Etc. store and being jaw dropped by the beautiful visuals. I thought it was a huge leap beyond anything that was currently available (playing my N64 at the time). Maybe still the biggest console advancement ever!
@@dr.decker3623 Buddy, Sega was dead long before the Dreamcast dropped. The DreamCast initially sold extremely well. But Sega had already did with the Saturn. The Saturn was such a massive financial blow they never recovered.
I walked into a Housing Works a few weeks ago and scored a huge collection of N64 and Dreamcast games. The Dreamcast stuff was fire. Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, Seaman, GTA2, Crazy Taxi, Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver, Soul Calibur, Hydro Thunder, Jet Grind Radio and Skies of Arcadia. I'm ecstatic!
I've just recently purchased my first dreamcast, and each time I fire it up in can't help being impressed with the graphics and textures, I love the controller, I think it's great (also love the n64 too!) the vmu's are cool and I'm just discovering the games. I'm a big sega and Nintendo fan (retro consoles) and can't believe I've ignored the dreamcast up to this point - the upside is, I now get to experience it's greatness for the first time, and I'm loving it! 👍
Awesome vid, collecting for the Dreamcast has always been a good time. I picked up my system on 9.9.99 so I've been building a collection from the jump. I think out of the Sega consoles it's the easiest to collect for. Other than a few missed games here and there I generally think my DC library is solid. I have started looking into some imports though but haven't decided on the best way to play them yet. I do try to pick up games I missed if the price isn't too high in addition to the independent DC releases that seem to be everywhere now, games like Bang Bang Busters and Captain Tomaday. It is cool to see the Dreamcast getting the attention it always deserved.
I never owned a Dreamcast (although I am going to be getting one next week for $20 from a former colleague), but I have played it a bunch at my buddies house and in my college dorm. The system was a blast. Loved playing Chu-Chu Rocket and Power Stone alone with the 2K sports games which just blew me away. Can’t wait till I get mine as I’ve already started purchasing some games for it.
There's a lot to like about the Dreamcast, but I think it tends to lean into short, punchy arcade games a little too often for it to feel as substantial as something like the PS2 or Gamecube. I'm a big fan of House of the Dead 2, Space Channel 5, SoulCalibur, Rez, Sega Bass Fishing and Crazy Taxi, but they're quick little games that I'm unlikely to play for more than an hour at a time. Shenmue I & II are the big ones for me though. Even after the HD remaster, I feel like it's the Dreamcast versions that I have to come back to every few years. The increasingly archaic system functionality and brutal QTE failures (the tower in the second game, especially) are really valuable parts of getting myself into the modest, slow living of its setting.
I got my console in 2017 and bought games, then learned about burning games. This year I was finally able to mod my spare console with a GDEMU so now I have access to the whole library via SD card. Great console and fantastic games.
never been this early in my life. though, i never played the SDC, i can imagine myself having a blast if i were born during that era. hell, thank GOD i experienced Sonic Adventure on DreamCast because of my cousin! the Mystic Ruines temple is engraved in my memory.
I had a Dreamcast back when it came out. There are a few games I loved and still play even today, like Power Stone and Dynamite Cop. Skip ahead to 2018 time frame and I am deployed. When people left they would leave behind stuff in a common area. I found a sports edition Dreamcast one day and it got me into collecting for the Dreamcast. Getting to the question I like to have real versions of the games, thought I would get some one having a library of burnt games.
This one has a special place in my heart, as it was the first one that brought the arcade home, completely intact. It is also the first console I ever got a full set for (completed it little over a decade ago now). By now I have sold off most of it aigain and kept only what I like, due to space issues but I’ve done this with every console I own so…it has an insane library of games: small but insane and all over the place. I feel the same as you: when I don’t know what to play, I pop in a Dreamcast game and have that instant smile on my face, there’s spmething very special about its colours and feel of the games.
No it wasn't,.. there are no arcade titles for it really,.. The NeoGeo brought the arcade home,.. and there are more arcade titles on the Saturn than there are on the Dreamcast,.. i think you are casting a dream lol.
@@dr.decker3623 did you read the word “intact”? I own a ton of Saturn shit and while most of the arcade ports are amazing they are far from intact, as where the NG is concerned: how many folks do you know who actually owned one when it was current gen? So while it may be intact, nobody could afford it and it is basically only interesting for fighting fans, it always was a kinda niche thing, the DC on the other hand has stuff like Musapey’s Choco Marker, Cosmic Smash and even Crazy Taxi for arcade ports…It’s in a totally different league as the NG: affordable for everyone when it came out, and also affordable games for everyone.
Just got my dreamcast and made my list of games to collect for. One thing I can say is its going to be expensive to get moat of the games I want. But with enough patience and time, I hope to check each game off.
Even though the Dreamcast had a short lifespan for an average video game console, it still was such a great system with a host of really fun games! Many years after the Dreamcast had been off the market, I was living with some college friends in an apartment. One of our favorite consoles of choice? The Dreamcast oddly enough! We actually shared the Dreamcast in our living room, so each of us would sometimes pick up Dreamcast games cheap and share them. There was a local game store that would sell preowned Dreamcast games dirt cheap as they were trying to make more inventory room for the more popular PS2, GameCube and XBox. We built up quite the collection of around 40+ Dreamcast games! Soul Calibur and Power Stone were two of our favorites!
@@kenmastersmaster Well, yeah, it was a less powerful console and Sega pulled the plug on it in the early 2000's. I wasn't really comparing it to the PS2 GameCube as that wouldn't be fair. I was merely sharing my thoughts on its own merits.
@@mattb6522 it didn't have any merits objectively speaking. It was the same gen as ps2 but it had ps1 power and glitchy games. The few good games it did have all got ported to GameCube and ps2, making it totally redundant console
We had a Scavenger Hunt a few years back & on the list was a DreamCast & one of my buddies had it. After the game was over & I was trying to return it he just let me have it. I opened it up and inside was Crazy Taxi!! One of my best days ever!
My best friend and I at the time were both PS1'ers. I loved the Genesis back in the day but was soured by Sega with the CD, 32x, Saturn... so i was very skeptical with the Dreamcast. My friend was more kind and got one on release. He sold it to me 8 months later with a stack of games for like $100 or 150 or something. I played it for another 8 months before putting it in the closet wherein it still remains 22 years later. So yeah, that's how I "like" and "collect" the Dreamcast, haha. I will say though that sometime in 2006-7 I picked up the black Sega Sports console for $15 at a church sale. So I have that too. I will say though that it did have some neat games. Sonic Adventure is the Mario 64 of Sonic games and is simply brilliant. Of course Crazy Taxi, Power Stone and the load of arcade games (some of the last arcade games, a swan song at the end of an era). I'm glad it's easy to play games on it without buying them, it's a fun console even if I dont want to ever commit to it. There's a cheap adapter that lets you play games off an SD card without modification
Emulators on the Dreamcast are what brought me back to it a few years after it died. Being able to play lots of games from prior formats on a TV was far more appealing than using a PC. I hadn't really bothered with emulators before that. As for the Dreamcast game library, it's brilliant and full of high quality games that are still fun now. Soul Calibur, Crazy Taxi and MSR are still favourites to go back to.
My console’s GDROM drive died so I replaced it with the GDEMU. Since I can no longer play disc games, I only purchase games If they are significantly below the market price because I appreciate a good deal. For the most part, I’m more focused on perfecting the hardware and accessory setup for the Dreamcast rather than getting more games. I’m always on the lookout for official 4x memory cards or the keyboard and mouse. I recently got a cable that will do 480p over SCART (and I use a scart to component transcoder) so I can play games in 480p on my hdcrt tv. That was a huge game changer.
You should do a video about all the games that got ports and sequels on the original XBOX, causing some people to view it as a spiritual successor to the Dreamcast.
Like I said, right now I’m focusing more on building up my library of games for the consoles that I already own, especially RPGs, action RPGs, platformers, and action platformers.
Typing of the dead, Ecco the dolphin, and MDK 2 were some of my favorites. Dreamcast was my first Sega console and the one I loved the most. The controller is really not that weird, especially if you remember what it was like to TRY controllers other than the now defacto Xbox 360 controller setup.
I only had one friend who got a Dreamcast. I remember us playing some Power Stone, Seaman and Soul Caliber, but once PS2 and Xbox hit the scene, his Dreamcast pretty much disappeared. That's basically the entirety of my personal experience with the system...Power Stone and Soul Caliber were fun, though!
I'm very excited to start collecting for the Dreamcast once I get to it. I think it's one of the most unique consoles with a very unique library games, RIP
Dreamcast and F355 Challenge in late 2000 is my single best gaming moment and memory. I lived that, played the online races every day, learned the courses and how to be quick without assists by watching the jaoanese replays you could download from the website directly to the VMU. That was miles ahead of the driving experience Gran Turismo and its 1000s of cars could give me.
The Dreamcast was my first console ever & it was thanks to my Grandma who worked at Sega in the early 2000’s who got it for my brother before I was born. We had a lot of great games & accessories, including the fishing rod & the keyboard. The Dreamcast is something that’ll always hold a special place in my heart & I’ve been playing it more often with Sonic adventure 1 in recent weeks. I remember having to replace the whole GD rom assembly rather than the full laser because of bad storage we got our Dreamcast exposed to for almost 4 years which wasn’t great, but since then I cleaned the inside & even got a beautiful golden replacement shell. I also recently ordered some component cables for it & may order a scart cable for it, but $50 for cables is kinda silly, even compared to the $30 I spent on scart cables for my Genesis tower of power. Despite the hurtles I have to overcome, I’m still happy with it & hoping I can keep my Dreamcast alive for years to come.
Been gaming since 1989 and it was the only Sega system I ever owned. Of course I had a full time job in 1999/2000 while I was still in school during the Genesis and Saturn's heyday so I don't know if I ever would have bought those if I was a bit older.
I got my first Dreamcast in 2019 when my daughter was born, ironically she loves Sega as a whole now. I have a Japanese console with a few games. (I only own Sonic Adventure 2, Soul Calibur, and Marvel vs. Capcom 2) It's in great condition and I even have the Sonic Adventure 2 10th Anniversary boxset. Importing is great, but there are games more English-friendly that I'd like to play as time has gone on. Thinking about getting a second one, and then it's on like Altered Beast lol.
I remember back in the day I had marvel vs capcom 2 on Dreamcast and me and friends in my neighborhood would have tournaments because I had two arcade sticks and the rule was if you lost the fight pass your controller to the next person. Good console very ahead of it’s time
i remember when i brought my dreamcast in february of 2000 because it was the first console i payed for with my own money so was a very big thing for me at the time. the dreamcast was a party console when i got my second controller i brought power stone and marvel vs capcom i played those with my friends, my girlfriend, my older brother and one of his friends for like 8 or 9 hours on friday. it was just fucking fun dude definitely one best memories with dreamcast. i collect for it when and where i can original game and hardware only so no ports or emulation for me.
I've had two Dreamcasts. I never have owned too many games for it, though. I really want to get more games for it, though, because I've always loved the system. It's practically legendary.
The dreamcast has always had a big part of my hart happy I got the games I have when I did but wish I would have focused more on it super sweet video keep flying bird 🐦
Illbleed made me want a Dreamcast. I finally saved up enough to buy a PS5, and passed on it for a Dreamcast and Illbleed. Now I have 3 games for it, 5 months later. Illbleed, The Ring Terror's Realm and Rayman 2. It's VERY expensive to collect for, and the games aren't common to find at game stores or thrift shops. But it's a passion project for sure.
This was an enjoyable video. I uploaded a video tutorial yesterday on how to upscale Dreamcast internal resolution to 4k. Breathes new life into some of those classics.
I started collection for the dreamcast just this year and turns out its my favorite console. Cant stop buying games for it. Crazy Taxi 2, Jet Set Radio, Sonic Shuffle, Shenmue,Blue Stinger, Sega Rally 2, ChuChuRocket, MSC, Phantasy Star, Rayman 2, Soulcalibur. Got all of these and I love them all. I really missed out in these games for a long time But with the european DC Games you really have to look where you buy them They are much more sensitive. They have this really unusual case with Breaks pretty fast
The Dreamcast was the “one that got away” for me as a kid; my parents didn’t want to buy a system that was going to be discontinued so they bought me a slim PSOne instead. When I became an adult, the Dreamcast was the only “retro” console I was interested in collecting for because I wanted one so badly as a kid. I found a video game store going out of business during the recession that sold me a box of five Dreamcasts and their parts for like $50. I sold four of them for like $30 to my friends in college and have been collecting for it ever since. Sure, the prices are a bit steep and the console isn’t well known for my preferred game genre (RPGs), but I like collecting for it anyway because it feels like I’m correcting a mistake from my childhood when I do. By the way, I recently found the black sports model and it’s my current Dreamcast. I had a friend as a kid who had every Sega system from the 90s and he had a black Dreamcast, and I don’t think I’ve ever been more jealous so when I saw one in the wild I scooped it up.
The Dreamcast games blew my mind back in the days. I really though Sega could take the lead in the console businesses or at least have the same success as Sony, but with the PS2 launch all my hope disappeared. Many Dreamcast games aged well for me and are still fun to play in 2023.
I had a Dreamcast and a dozen games back in 2000, sold it in 2019, and deeply regretted it back in the summer of 2021. Fast forward today, I have 80 games for it and fell in love with it all over again! It was indeed extremely pricey and after I discovered the incredible modding community, I got another DC with a optical disc drive emulator, a HDMI chip, new fan, new shell, etc. Now I emulate games on original hardware and if I like the game after beating it, I'll buy the physical copy for my collection. :)
I do have a decent amount of Dreamcast games, but with laser issues and the cost of some of the next one's I wanted I stopped and modded it with an ODE, so can't use the disks anymore, but I now have every game and no anxiety every time I play the thing. I'll keep the disk games I have though as I also spend time staring at boxes.
Picked a Dreamcast up in the early 2000's dirt cheap. Games were pretty low cost, too. Used it as a trade in to get a PS2; loved that console, but it is a regret to this day that I didn't keep Sega's last offering. I can emulate with the likes of Flycast and ReDream, but it is not the same as the real thing.
My collection was complete 20 years ago. I tried to mod my first dreamcast and bricked it. I then returned it to the store (sorry Fry's) and tried again. Still got it,still works, still the beatdowns are provided. If I'm ever in a situation where I can only grab one collection, it's my Dreamcast collection.
I'm so glad I still have my Dreamcast games from my childhood. Most of my old games were lost due to my mom throwing them out but thankfully the Dreamcast ones survived somehow. Skies of Arcadia and Grandia 2 are still some of my favorite RPGs of all time. I have a ton of nostalgia for Sonic Adventure. That game blew my mind the first time I played it at a Toys R Us. I remember staying up all night playing it during one Summer break and I loved every minute of it. And of course Jet Grind Radio is just amazing- the best game on the system in my opinion.
I never understood parents throwing out their kids' things. My dad's mom threw out his comics when he was a kid in the 60s. My parents never threw out any of my stuff iirc, except a Barney vhs that mysteriously disappeared when I was like 5.
Any time I'm considering picking up a Dreamcast and building a library for it, I'm reminded I already own the games I'd want for it on other systems 🤷♂️
True it would especially be insane if Capcom allows Sega to use their titles on the mini so more people can experience the fantastic fighting games they had on DC especially the obscure ones like project justice, Power stone 1 and 2, Plasma sword, tech romancer and heavy metal. Capcom has a great working relationship with Sega so it might be possible 🤞
I didn't know about the beeping sound that the memory card made. For Dream Cast the shooters look really awesome along with the fighting games. I don't like the controllers for this.
My 3rd favorite home console of all-time. I own a Japanese model I got for peanuts from a person downsizing. I only want the 60 or so games I want to really play. 40 of those games are arcade ports. Some of the Japanese region games are generally cheaper, save for my favorite genre (Shootemups) and some exceptions. No region is really "cheap". So my collection has mostly arcade ports, Sega originals and a fair chunk of Triple A quality reproductions. For an arcade guy like me, the Dreamcast is a pretty essential machine.
Man, I was halfway through and already wanted a follow up video! The DC aside from maybe the 2600, is maybe the most fascinating console. It was the arcade machine, but it wasn't afraid to get weird. Seaman alone puts it in a different category. It was just perfect for it's time. I just watched a retro review of Jonny Mnemonic, and the guy basically said it was limited by it's time, but forward thinking in many ways. That's how I feel about the DC. Plus, it's cheap as hell. I just tried Grandia 2, and I think I'm hooked. The DC is the platypus console.
The Dreamcast gave me my first seizure, seems like yesterday I was waking up on the floor of the Electronic Boutique in the old mall. Such a simpler time 😆
IIRC the VMU beeps when near a secret figure in Super Magnetic Neo. Basically, magnets meets Crash Bandicoot. Fun but VERY difficult especially towards the end. Stock up on lives!
The Dreamcast controller is serviceable. The analogue triggers are good and the analogue stick was an upgrade from the Sega Saturns analogue controller however the worst thing about it was removing 2 buttons when a lot of fighting games were designed with 6 buttons in mind having 4 face buttons without 2x shoulder or 6 face was a huge step back for games that used it like Street Fighter. It did open the market for 6 button alternative controllers but they also lacked 2 shoulder buttons that the Saturn had that could be used for special moves that required multiple button presses like low + med + hard Zangief spinning lariet as an example
Ehh, in terms of collecting for the Dreamcast, I have to say I'm content mostly playing off burned copies. I have enough of a collection from various other consoles, and prices are getting kind of ridiculous (though admittedly not as ridiculous as some other systems). Recently I'd been collecting original Xbox games, the prices there are quite reasonable (for the moment at least).
If you want some great underrated physical games that are affordable check out Blue stinger, Psychic force 2012, Silver, Quake 3, Vanishing point, 18 wheeler, Test drive le mans and V rally, Draconus, Sega marine fishing, Star lancer, Ooga booga, Shadow man, MDK 2, and Toy commander just to name a few. Dreamcast is my favorite console 😊 got it on 9/9/99 and 23 years later I almost have a complete NA library (currently missing 2 games) Honestly even the more pricy incredible games I find worth it like the fighting games, sonic titles, exclusives, skies of Arcadia, Illbleed, and sooooo many more I can go on for days about how incredible this system is. It truly was one of a kind.
I don't really go out of my way to collect DC games anymore. There's only a handful of games I liked playing on the system and I currently have one out of the 5 (Omikron). The ones I would hunt down are Silver, Record of Lodoss War, Jet Grind Radio and Space Channel 5. Almost 2 years ago I picked up a system with 13 DC games. It came with 2 regular controllers, 2 fishing controllers, the controller adapter that you showed first and a few VMUs. Picked all that up for $50. Also had to pick up a Genesis and PS1 game in the deal for an extra $5.
I only played the Dreamcast after it died. All the games feel similar and the controller blows chunks, doesn't even belong in the same generation as the Gamecube, PS2 or XBOX.
I really want to get a Dreamcast sadly I have never seen one in person which is the way I like to get consoles. Still it is a amazing looking system and it does like a very fun console
I love my little darling because of jet set radio, the weird games I got like super magnetic neo and pen pen tri icelon. Grandia 2 was amazing on there and time stalkers, Tokyo Extreme Racers was my first car game and Soul Calibur is what made me to collect all 6 of them. The capcom fighting games are awesome on the Dreamcast to
Super Magnetic Neo was neat. It's not perfect, but I feel like it never got much attention, and that most people would enjoy it if they took a crack at it.
the dreamcast controller is perfect imo for the NFL series, Soul Calibur, Ready 2 Rumble. And this is what I care for. So heck I love this controller! Nothing better than running with power quarterbacks... tackling the opponent's QB with your defenseman. Just perfect. Even Madden on Playstation 3 doesn't do it as good! Nothing compares, I tell ya!
The white regular Dreamcast you can easily get it at a retro game store for $125 which is not too bad for just the console the cords one controller and with one vmu included

I mean you can get new games for it so it's technically alive in weird zombie way 🧟
Hell yeah man👍🏻 still buying games for mine to this day😝
But it's kinda yellow right?
Picked up a Dreamcast this week and my goodness, it felt like I was Jason Bourne collecting a memory I always wish I had, definitely one of the highlights of retro gaming and collecting.
The beeping upon startup has become an iconic part of the system...along with the loud fan.....and the grinding everytime the laser moves. Some would say it gives the system character. Wish I started collecting earlier with the DC because the prices are climbing fast.
Haha. Yeah, some would say it's not the Dreamcast experience without it.
@@RetroBirdGaming Heck even once you switch to GDMU tech with the dreamcast the haunting pacemaker beep continues. It's the gift that keeps on giving
A retro game store near me was selling a Dreamcast with two controllers and two vmus and a free game of your choice for $150. Sounded like a cool deal, until they told me that they haven't/won't test it and wouldn't allow returns. I told them about the lasers all dying out and still wouldn't budge.

I have a theory on those lasers.
I found a Dreamcast in a storage shed, all yellowed and beat up. Wouldn’t load games.
What I had noticed is that the cables used for the laser disk are very brittle and the coating they use is very weak.
What I did was I swapped all the gdu driver board caps with new capacitors (using ceramics instead of electrolytics this time.) I used a new laser flex cable and I set the potentiometer to the standard .6 volts (if I recall correctly)
I think that the lasers are perfectly strong and lasting, but perhaps the other components on these “legacy” units, are more prone to failure.
My DC works like a charm, in the meantime, the gears for the laser are made of a weak material, replacing them with brass just about eliminates noise. There’s a specific gear that cracks, and I think this is the failure of the disk reader.
In the near future I may make a guide to this and or sell them restored to last.
@NathanialLackey Wow, nice find and good work. Definitely post a guide at the very least. Maybe contribute on a site like retroRGB if you don't have a blog to post on? Let's keep our Dreamcasts alive!
I just got a dreamcast, so im pretty excited to start collecting for it
Collecting peripherals is a whole other fun aspect of the Dreamcast. Arcade sticks, wheels, twin Stick controllers, train controllers, dance mats, fishing rods... It never ends!
I think it is a very unique console to collect for. I have the entire US Dreamcast library, as well as 40 other libraries.
oh wow, 40? 😐
I find your videos very funny and informative. Thanks for all the effort you put into your channel
Thank you for watching :)
I had one as a child, im 29 now and im buying a dreamcast next week to revive this experience, great video to watch Just before buying It
The Dreamcast supports high res graphics via VGA with an adapter, which you can use with a computer monitor (probably available cheap at your local thrift store) or sometimes an HDTV. If you want something really unique to play, there's Seaman and Typing of the Dead.
*You lost ALL credibility when you said Seaman.*
Typing of the Dead is a blast to play!
I learned it but don't train it. Now I am very fast at 4 finger typing 😂
@@Dadee3 🤣
@@Dadee3 Would you argue Seaman is NOT a unique game?
Love the video!! I remember seeing Power Stone on the Dreamcast for the first time in a Software Etc. store and being jaw dropped by the beautiful visuals. I thought it was a huge leap beyond anything that was currently available (playing my N64 at the time). Maybe still the biggest console advancement ever!
Power Stone is still such a great game all these years later too :)
I had ONE friend in high school who owned a Dreamcast, he got it at launch and I do remember it being extremely impressive at the time
I'm over 40 and I absolutely love the Dreamcast😍. I love the controller and the VMU. I also love all the games! 1999 was the best time for gamers IMO.
I owned 3 Dreamcasts and had a ton of great games. Loved the heck out of virtual tennis. We used to host tournaments with friends over.
Best console ever, it's a shame DC lifespan was so short, but in a way, that's what makes it so special. Great video.
your glasses are rose coloured,.. the dreamcast killed sega, it is and was a turd.

@@dr.decker3623 Buddy, Sega was dead long before the Dreamcast dropped. The DreamCast initially sold extremely well. But Sega had already did with the Saturn. The Saturn was such a massive financial blow they never recovered.
I walked into a Housing Works a few weeks ago and scored a huge collection of N64 and Dreamcast games. The Dreamcast stuff was fire. Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, Seaman, GTA2, Crazy Taxi, Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver, Soul Calibur, Hydro Thunder, Jet Grind Radio and Skies of Arcadia. I'm ecstatic!
I've just recently purchased my first dreamcast, and each time I fire it up in can't help being impressed with the graphics and textures, I love the controller, I think it's great (also love the n64 too!) the vmu's are cool and I'm just discovering the games.
I'm a big sega and Nintendo fan (retro consoles) and can't believe I've ignored the dreamcast up to this point - the upside is, I now get to experience it's greatness for the first time, and I'm loving it! 👍
Awesome vid, collecting for the Dreamcast has always been a good time. I picked up my system on 9.9.99 so I've been building a collection from the jump. I think out of the Sega consoles it's the easiest to collect for. Other than a few missed games here and there I generally think my DC library is solid. I have started looking into some imports though but haven't decided on the best way to play them yet. I do try to pick up games I missed if the price isn't too high in addition to the independent DC releases that seem to be everywhere now, games like Bang Bang Busters and Captain Tomaday. It is cool to see the Dreamcast getting the attention it always deserved.
I never owned a Dreamcast (although I am going to be getting one next week for $20 from a former colleague), but I have played it a bunch at my buddies house and in my college dorm. The system was a blast. Loved playing Chu-Chu Rocket and Power Stone alone with the 2K sports games which just blew me away. Can’t wait till I get mine as I’ve already started purchasing some games for it.
There's a lot to like about the Dreamcast, but I think it tends to lean into short, punchy arcade games a little too often for it to feel as substantial as something like the PS2 or Gamecube. I'm a big fan of House of the Dead 2, Space Channel 5, SoulCalibur, Rez, Sega Bass Fishing and Crazy Taxi, but they're quick little games that I'm unlikely to play for more than an hour at a time. Shenmue I & II are the big ones for me though. Even after the HD remaster, I feel like it's the Dreamcast versions that I have to come back to every few years. The increasingly archaic system functionality and brutal QTE failures (the tower in the second game, especially) are really valuable parts of getting myself into the modest, slow living of its setting.
One of the coolest things about owning a DC is there are still home brew games being made for it every year.
I got a dreamcast late in its life span. but man. it was great at the time . a good solid library of games
I got my console in 2017 and bought games, then learned about burning games. This year I was finally able to mod my spare console with a GDEMU so now I have access to the whole library via SD card. Great console and fantastic games.
never been this early in my life. though, i never played the SDC, i can imagine myself having a blast if i were born during that era. hell, thank GOD i experienced Sonic Adventure on DreamCast because of my cousin! the Mystic Ruines temple is engraved in my memory.
I always wait until you say something hilarious and then I hit the like button. This video it was the maracas haha
You uploaded this just a few hours after I ordered a second light gun for my Dreamcast! Seems like I picked a good week to hook mine back up.
Gotta love those light gun games! House of the Dead 2 and Confidential Mission are my favorites.
I had a Dreamcast back when it came out. There are a few games I loved and still play even today, like Power Stone and Dynamite Cop.
Skip ahead to 2018 time frame and I am deployed. When people left they would leave behind stuff in a common area. I found a sports edition Dreamcast one day and it got me into collecting for the Dreamcast. Getting to the question I like to have real versions of the games, thought I would get some one having a library of burnt games.
This one has a special place in my heart, as it was the first one that brought the arcade home, completely intact. It is also the first console I ever got a full set for (completed it little over a decade ago now). By now I have sold off most of it aigain and kept only what I like, due to space issues but I’ve done this with every console I own so…it has an insane library of games: small but insane and all over the place. I feel the same as you: when I don’t know what to play, I pop in a Dreamcast game and have that instant smile on my face, there’s spmething very special about its colours and feel of the games.
No it wasn't,.. there are no arcade titles for it really,.. The NeoGeo brought the arcade home,.. and there are more arcade titles on the Saturn than there are on the Dreamcast,.. i think you are casting a dream lol.
@@dr.decker3623 did you read the word “intact”? I own a ton of Saturn shit and while most of the arcade ports are amazing they are far from intact, as where the NG is concerned: how many folks do you know who actually owned one when it was current gen? So while it may be intact, nobody could afford it and it is basically only interesting for fighting fans, it always was a kinda niche thing, the DC on the other hand has stuff like Musapey’s Choco Marker, Cosmic Smash and even Crazy Taxi for arcade ports…It’s in a totally different league as the NG: affordable for everyone when it came out, and also affordable games for everyone.
Love it, keep up the good work!
Just got my dreamcast and made my list of games to collect for. One thing I can say is its going to be expensive to get moat of the games I want. But with enough patience and time, I hope to check each game off.
GDEMU.🤘
Dreamcast is the reason I opened an ebay account back in 06' I'll never forget that, my first games were Power Stone, Rival Schools, and Shenmue.
Even though the Dreamcast had a short lifespan for an average video game console, it still was such a great system with a host of really fun games! Many years after the Dreamcast had been off the market, I was living with some college friends in an apartment. One of our favorite consoles of choice? The Dreamcast oddly enough!
We actually shared the Dreamcast in our living room, so each of us would sometimes pick up Dreamcast games cheap and share them. There was a local game store that would sell preowned Dreamcast games dirt cheap as they were trying to make more inventory room for the more popular PS2, GameCube and XBox. We built up quite the collection of around 40+ Dreamcast games! Soul Calibur and Power Stone were two of our favorites!
Yes it was cheap but you got that you paid for.. This console can't touch ps2 or GameCube in any way except 2d fighting games....
@@kenmastersmaster Well, yeah, it was a less powerful console and Sega pulled the plug on it in the early 2000's. I wasn't really comparing it to the PS2 GameCube as that wouldn't be fair. I was merely sharing my thoughts on its own merits.
@@mattb6522 it didn't have any merits objectively speaking. It was the same gen as ps2 but it had ps1 power and glitchy games. The few good games it did have all got ported to GameCube and ps2, making it totally redundant console
We had a Scavenger Hunt a few years back & on the list was a DreamCast & one of my buddies had it. After the game was over & I was trying to return it he just let me have it.
I opened it up and inside was Crazy Taxi!! One of my best days ever!
glad to see the dramcast some love. I recently got a transparent case for the dc and although i love it, i sometimes miss the all white one
My father's FD had a dreamcast and I always loved the unique nature of it as a kid. Definitely wanna get one!
My best friend and I at the time were both PS1'ers. I loved the Genesis back in the day but was soured by Sega with the CD, 32x, Saturn... so i was very skeptical with the Dreamcast. My friend was more kind and got one on release. He sold it to me 8 months later with a stack of games for like $100 or 150 or something. I played it for another 8 months before putting it in the closet wherein it still remains 22 years later. So yeah, that's how I "like" and "collect" the Dreamcast, haha. I will say though that sometime in 2006-7 I picked up the black Sega Sports console for $15 at a church sale. So I have that too. I will say though that it did have some neat games. Sonic Adventure is the Mario 64 of Sonic games and is simply brilliant. Of course Crazy Taxi, Power Stone and the load of arcade games (some of the last arcade games, a swan song at the end of an era). I'm glad it's easy to play games on it without buying them, it's a fun console even if I dont want to ever commit to it. There's a cheap adapter that lets you play games off an SD card without modification
Emulators on the Dreamcast are what brought me back to it a few years after it died. Being able to play lots of games from prior formats on a TV was far more appealing than using a PC. I hadn't really bothered with emulators before that.
As for the Dreamcast game library, it's brilliant and full of high quality games that are still fun now. Soul Calibur, Crazy Taxi and MSR are still favourites to go back to.
My console’s GDROM drive died so I replaced it with the GDEMU. Since I can no longer play disc games, I only purchase games If they are significantly below the market price because I appreciate a good deal. For the most part, I’m more focused on perfecting the hardware and accessory setup for the Dreamcast rather than getting more games. I’m always on the lookout for official 4x memory cards or the keyboard and mouse. I recently got a cable that will do 480p over SCART (and I use a scart to component transcoder) so I can play games in 480p on my hdcrt tv. That was a huge game changer.
You should do a video about all the games that got ports and sequels on the original XBOX, causing some people to view it as a spiritual successor to the Dreamcast.
Like I said, right now I’m focusing more on building up my library of games for the consoles that I already own, especially RPGs, action RPGs, platformers, and action platformers.
Typing of the dead, Ecco the dolphin, and MDK 2 were some of my favorites. Dreamcast was my first Sega console and the one I loved the most. The controller is really not that weird, especially if you remember what it was like to TRY controllers other than the now defacto Xbox 360 controller setup.
Every controller is weird when you first try it, but if the software is good enough you can come to think that controller is ideally suited.
I only had one friend who got a Dreamcast. I remember us playing some Power Stone, Seaman and Soul Caliber, but once PS2 and Xbox hit the scene, his Dreamcast pretty much disappeared. That's basically the entirety of my personal experience with the system...Power Stone and Soul Caliber were fun, though!
Soul Calibre was WAY better for Gamecube.
I'm very excited to start collecting for the Dreamcast once I get to it. I think it's one of the most unique consoles with a very unique library games, RIP
Dreamcast and F355 Challenge in late 2000 is my single best gaming moment and memory. I lived that, played the online races every day, learned the courses and how to be quick without assists by watching the jaoanese replays you could download from the website directly to the VMU. That was miles ahead of the driving experience Gran Turismo and its 1000s of cars could give me.
The Dreamcast was my first console ever & it was thanks to my Grandma who worked at Sega in the early 2000’s who got it for my brother before I was born. We had a lot of great games & accessories, including the fishing rod & the keyboard. The Dreamcast is something that’ll always hold a special place in my heart & I’ve been playing it more often with Sonic adventure 1 in recent weeks. I remember having to replace the whole GD rom assembly rather than the full laser because of bad storage we got our Dreamcast exposed to for almost 4 years which wasn’t great, but since then I cleaned the inside & even got a beautiful golden replacement shell. I also recently ordered some component cables for it & may order a scart cable for it, but $50 for cables is kinda silly, even compared to the $30 I spent on scart cables for my Genesis tower of power. Despite the hurtles I have to overcome, I’m still happy with it & hoping I can keep my Dreamcast alive for years to come.
Been gaming since 1989 and it was the only Sega system I ever owned. Of course I had a full time job in 1999/2000 while I was still in school during the Genesis and Saturn's heyday so I don't know if I ever would have bought those if I was a bit older.
I got my first Dreamcast in 2019 when my daughter was born, ironically she loves Sega as a whole now. I have a Japanese console with a few games. (I only own Sonic Adventure 2, Soul Calibur, and Marvel vs. Capcom 2) It's in great condition and I even have the Sonic Adventure 2 10th Anniversary boxset. Importing is great, but there are games more English-friendly that I'd like to play as time has gone on. Thinking about getting a second one, and then it's on like Altered Beast lol.
I remember back in the day I had marvel vs capcom 2 on Dreamcast and me and friends in my neighborhood would have tournaments because I had two arcade sticks and the rule was if you lost the fight pass your controller to the next person. Good console very ahead of it’s time
i remember when i brought my dreamcast in february of 2000 because it was the first console i payed for with my own money so was a very big thing for me at the time. the dreamcast was a party console when i got my second controller i brought power stone and marvel vs capcom i played those with my friends, my girlfriend, my older brother and one of his friends for like 8 or 9 hours on friday. it was just fucking fun dude definitely one best memories with dreamcast. i collect for it when and where i can original game and hardware only so no ports or emulation for me.
I've had two Dreamcasts.
I never have owned too many games for it, though.
I really want to get more games for it, though, because I've always loved the system. It's practically legendary.
The dreamcast has always had a big part of my hart happy I got the games I have when I did but wish I would have focused more on it super sweet video keep flying bird 🐦
Illbleed made me want a Dreamcast. I finally saved up enough to buy a PS5, and passed on it for a Dreamcast and Illbleed. Now I have 3 games for it, 5 months later. Illbleed, The Ring Terror's Realm and Rayman 2. It's VERY expensive to collect for, and the games aren't common to find at game stores or thrift shops. But it's a passion project for sure.
This was an enjoyable video. I uploaded a video tutorial yesterday on how to upscale Dreamcast internal resolution to 4k. Breathes new life into some of those classics.
I still have a stack of blank Dreamcast BIOS chips for performing the region free mod from when I had my shop. Good times and good memories!
I started collection for the dreamcast just this year and turns out its my favorite console. Cant stop buying games for it.
Crazy Taxi 2, Jet Set Radio, Sonic Shuffle, Shenmue,Blue Stinger, Sega Rally 2, ChuChuRocket, MSC, Phantasy Star, Rayman 2, Soulcalibur.
Got all of these and I love them all. I really missed out in these games for a long time
But with the european DC Games you really have to look where you buy them
They are much more sensitive. They have this really unusual case with Breaks pretty fast
The Dreamcast was the “one that got away” for me as a kid; my parents didn’t want to buy a system that was going to be discontinued so they bought me a slim PSOne instead. When I became an adult, the Dreamcast was the only “retro” console I was interested in collecting for because I wanted one so badly as a kid. I found a video game store going out of business during the recession that sold me a box of five Dreamcasts and their parts for like $50. I sold four of them for like $30 to my friends in college and have been collecting for it ever since. Sure, the prices are a bit steep and the console isn’t well known for my preferred game genre (RPGs), but I like collecting for it anyway because it feels like I’m correcting a mistake from my childhood when I do.
By the way, I recently found the black sports model and it’s my current Dreamcast. I had a friend as a kid who had every Sega system from the 90s and he had a black Dreamcast, and I don’t think I’ve ever been more jealous so when I saw one in the wild I scooped it up.
The Dreamcast games blew my mind back in the days. I really though Sega could take the lead in the console businesses or at least have the same success as Sony, but with the PS2 launch all my hope disappeared. Many Dreamcast games aged well for me and are still fun to play in 2023.
Still got and still love my Dreamcast. So many great games. Resi evil Code veronica is one of my all time greatest games.
They are all played better on PS2 and / or Gamecube... the Dreamcast is trash. and killed Sega.
@@dr.decker3623 who let the child out
I had a Dreamcast and a dozen games back in 2000, sold it in 2019, and deeply regretted it back in the summer of 2021. Fast forward today, I have 80 games for it and fell in love with it all over again! It was indeed extremely pricey and after I discovered the incredible modding community, I got another DC with a optical disc drive emulator, a HDMI chip, new fan, new shell, etc. Now I emulate games on original hardware and if I like the game after beating it, I'll buy the physical copy for my collection. :)
Dreamcast is in my top 10 consoles of all time. I love that thing.
I do have a decent amount of Dreamcast games, but with laser issues and the cost of some of the next one's I wanted I stopped and modded it with an ODE, so can't use the disks anymore, but I now have every game and no anxiety every time I play the thing. I'll keep the disk games I have though as I also spend time staring at boxes.
Picked a Dreamcast up in the early 2000's dirt cheap. Games were pretty low cost, too. Used it as a trade in to get a PS2; loved that console, but it is a regret to this day that I didn't keep Sega's last offering. I can emulate with the likes of Flycast and ReDream, but it is not the same as the real thing.
collect them all that's how! best console ever
Triggerheart Excelica and Guilty Gear X are my favs
oooh and Cool Toon
My collection was complete 20 years ago. I tried to mod my first dreamcast and bricked it. I then returned it to the store (sorry Fry's) and tried again. Still got it,still works, still the beatdowns are provided. If I'm ever in a situation where I can only grab one collection, it's my Dreamcast collection.
I'm so glad I still have my Dreamcast games from my childhood. Most of my old games were lost due to my mom throwing them out but thankfully the Dreamcast ones survived somehow. Skies of Arcadia and Grandia 2 are still some of my favorite RPGs of all time. I have a ton of nostalgia for Sonic Adventure. That game blew my mind the first time I played it at a Toys R Us. I remember staying up all night playing it during one Summer break and I loved every minute of it. And of course Jet Grind Radio is just amazing- the best game on the system in my opinion.
@Bingo The original Grandia is excellent too. I highly recommend it if you haven't played it already. Stay away from the 3rd one though.
I never understood parents throwing out their kids' things. My dad's mom threw out his comics when he was a kid in the 60s. My parents never threw out any of my stuff iirc, except a Barney vhs that mysteriously disappeared when I was like 5.
Any time I'm considering picking up a Dreamcast and building a library for it, I'm reminded I already own the games I'd want for it on other systems 🤷♂️
Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 ports are majorly bad ports of a bad port of another bad port. The Game cube ports are pretty bad.
We need a Dreamcast Mini enough Sega with the Genesis Re-Issues.
True it would especially be insane if Capcom allows Sega to use their titles on the mini so more people can experience the fantastic fighting games they had on DC especially the obscure ones like project justice, Power stone 1 and 2, Plasma sword, tech romancer and heavy metal.
Capcom has a great working relationship with Sega so it might be possible 🤞
Hopefully at some point it will happen.
I didn't know about the beeping sound that the memory card made. For Dream Cast the shooters look really awesome along with the fighting games. I don't like the controllers for this.
My 3rd favorite home console of all-time. I own a Japanese model I got for peanuts from a person downsizing. I only want the 60 or so games I want to really play. 40 of those games are arcade ports. Some of the Japanese region games are generally cheaper, save for my favorite genre (Shootemups) and some exceptions. No region is really "cheap". So my collection has mostly arcade ports, Sega originals and a fair chunk of Triple A quality reproductions. For an arcade guy like me, the Dreamcast is a pretty essential machine.
I was holding out for the ps2 and luckily my younger brother got a Dreamcast on launch day. So many great games in such a short time
Man, I was halfway through and already wanted a follow up video! The DC aside from maybe the 2600, is maybe the most fascinating console. It was the arcade machine, but it wasn't afraid to get weird. Seaman alone puts it in a different category. It was just perfect for it's time. I just watched a retro review of Jonny Mnemonic, and the guy basically said it was limited by it's time, but forward thinking in many ways.
That's how I feel about the DC. Plus, it's cheap as hell. I just tried Grandia 2, and I think I'm hooked. The DC is the platypus console.
The Dreamcast gave me my first seizure, seems like yesterday I was waking up on the floor of the Electronic Boutique in the old mall. Such a simpler time 😆
I grew up with a Dreamcast. Still one of my fav consoles to date.
The first Dreamcast game I ever owned was Power Stone. I really regret getting rid of my Dreamcast.
That was the game I took home with me when I imported mine before the US launch. It felt so unique!
I have 24 consoles and the Dreamcast is still my favorite. I pre-ordered it when it came out. It will always be the gold standard.
great video. id have 2 go the ode route with the dreamcast esp. with the laser issue, one of the best consoles of all time imo 🙂
Your a little late to the party if your just now looking at Dreamcast. I used to have a huge lot I got for free from funcoland in 2003
IIRC the VMU beeps when near a secret figure in Super Magnetic Neo. Basically, magnets meets Crash Bandicoot. Fun but VERY difficult especially towards the end. Stock up on lives!
The Dreamcast controller is serviceable. The analogue triggers are good and the analogue stick was an upgrade from the Sega Saturns analogue controller however the worst thing about it was removing 2 buttons when a lot of fighting games were designed with 6 buttons in mind having 4 face buttons without 2x shoulder or 6 face was a huge step back for games that used it like Street Fighter.
It did open the market for 6 button alternative controllers but they also lacked 2 shoulder buttons that the Saturn had that could be used for special moves that required multiple button presses like low + med + hard Zangief spinning lariet as an example
Is it possible to replace the lasers? LOVE THE CONTENT DODO
Yes, you can replace the laser assembly :)
Ehh, in terms of collecting for the Dreamcast, I have to say I'm content mostly playing off burned copies. I have enough of a collection from various other consoles, and prices are getting kind of ridiculous (though admittedly not as ridiculous as some other systems). Recently I'd been collecting original Xbox games, the prices there are quite reasonable (for the moment at least).
9:00 where do you get swap discs
If you want some great underrated physical games that are affordable check out Blue stinger, Psychic force 2012, Silver, Quake 3, Vanishing point, 18 wheeler, Test drive le mans and V rally, Draconus, Sega marine fishing, Star lancer, Ooga booga, Shadow man, MDK 2, and Toy commander just to name a few.
Dreamcast is my favorite console 😊 got it on 9/9/99 and 23 years later I almost have a complete NA library (currently missing 2 games)
Honestly even the more pricy incredible games I find worth it like the fighting games, sonic titles, exclusives, skies of Arcadia, Illbleed, and sooooo many more I can go on for days about how incredible this system is. It truly was one of a kind.
I would highly recommend a gdemu for not expending ridiculous amounts of money just to play Crazy Taxi. They are a really good alternative.
I wanted the DreamPi VMU but ended up ordering the Funkey S. Still want a custom VMU one day!
I love my dreamcast but finding games for it at my normal go to shops is like finding a unicorn
I don't really go out of my way to collect DC games anymore. There's only a handful of games I liked playing on the system and I currently have one out of the 5 (Omikron). The ones I would hunt down are Silver, Record of Lodoss War, Jet Grind Radio and Space Channel 5.
Almost 2 years ago I picked up a system with 13 DC games. It came with 2 regular controllers, 2 fishing controllers, the controller adapter that you showed first and a few VMUs. Picked all that up for $50. Also had to pick up a Genesis and PS1 game in the deal for an extra $5.
This Guy is comedy gold he gets me every time 🤣
I only played the Dreamcast after it died. All the games feel similar and the controller blows chunks, doesn't even belong in the same generation as the Gamecube, PS2 or XBOX.
I had my back turned as I watched this video and at 9;45 in like “RIVAL SCHOOLS” and I look and see “PROJECT JUSTICE”
I really want to get a Dreamcast sadly I have never seen one in person which is the way I like to get consoles. Still it is a amazing looking system and it does like a very fun console
Save up, and get an ODE :) honestly so nice to have
Yeah, a great option. Don't have to worry about the laser burning out that way either.
@@RetroBirdGaming for sure, that being said there really is no replacement for having everything physically. It's a pretty even game of "pros v cons"
I love my DC, but the Striker DC controller has a MAJOR issue with the right trigger breaking on me. I had two controllers break on me that way.
The Dreamcast Segas Last Ride I Miss Them 80s And 90s Was All Sega And Nintendo
I love my little darling because of jet set radio, the weird games I got like super magnetic neo and pen pen tri icelon. Grandia 2 was amazing on there and time stalkers, Tokyo Extreme Racers was my first car game and Soul Calibur is what made me to collect all 6 of them. The capcom fighting games are awesome on the Dreamcast to
Super Magnetic Neo was neat. It's not perfect, but I feel like it never got much attention, and that most people would enjoy it if they took a crack at it.
@@bananonymouslastname5693 I know right I like the game because of the challenge
the dreamcast controller is perfect imo for the NFL series, Soul Calibur, Ready 2 Rumble.
And this is what I care for. So heck I love this controller! Nothing better than running with power quarterbacks... tackling the opponent's QB with your defenseman. Just perfect. Even Madden on Playstation 3 doesn't do it as good! Nothing compares, I tell ya!
Anyone sings the theme song at the end of each video like me?
I've never heard of you before this video. You're hilarious lol
Thanks :) Also, welcome to the channel!
The white regular Dreamcast you can easily get it at a retro game store for $125 which is not too bad for just the console the cords one controller and with one vmu included
