How I used to love that fishing rod 
DREAMCAST YAY!
- Thread starter Marshmule
- Start date
I have a two DC,S plus loads of games which i still play now .What a shame it went tooo early in its lifespan ... try ICARUGA out if you want a good arcady shoot em up it really is one of the best ever. no emulation talk please
Apparently they've still been making the occasional Dreamcast game for the Japanese market - another one is being released this year I heard
It is a shame the console didn't get the success it deserved. Its capabilities are closer to the PS2 than most people probably realise. Dreamcast games aren't as blocky as PS2 games - certainly the earlier PS2 games, some of which used 640x240. Games like Dead or Alive 2, Tokyo Extreme Racer 2 and F355 Challenge are actually superior to their PS2 counterparts.
You can pick up DC consoles for buttons nowadays.. but finding ones which aren't faulty in some way is getting harder. Some of the common faults are easy to fix yourself though. I'd recommend anyone who hasn't tried one to get one now.. even if you only find one great game you like, it'd be worth it

was a top console, i think ive got two with a decent collection of games.
The snes will always be my favourite console, excellent games and a quality machine.

Oooh another top game - Marvel Vs. Capcom 2
I have spent years playing that, a true 2d fighter classic. So over the top
It was rereleased on the X-box, but got so low scores because it was the same game. Same dog no new tricks.
And yes, I was one of those Akuma whores

Unfortunately the DC controller wasn't particularly great for fighters. To get the best out of games like Marvel vs. Capcom 2 you needed a couple of arcade controllers, though tbh I think X-Men Vs. Street Fighter on the Saturn is a tad better.

For the Dreamcast, its all about Samba De Amigo! Maraca action forever.
