Yeah, I'm sure you can download Suikoden easily enough but my hardcopy's still worth £80 according to eBay.
I'm guessing that'll dip with the recent release of the PSN copy. Love my hardcopy anyway though.

I wouldn't have thought so, it's only sad collectors that would've been paying that much for it anyway, if anyone just wanted to play it they'd have downloaded it and played it on an emulator.

No, yesterday's shirt was a Venture Bros shirt. That is a pirate skull hat.

Posting mah DC collection:

First of all, the games. I don't have everything I wanted to get. I'm certainly missing some of the more expensive fighting games for DC, such as Marvel vs. Capcom and the sequel. Rez seems to be worth at least an arm and a leg, too. I got most of the ones I really wanted to play though, and I'm still occasionally adding to the pile via eBay.

In amongst all that are two copies of Skies of Arcadia (I don't remember why...) Grandia 2, both Shenmue games, both Evolution games, and an assortment of other good (and occasionally not so good) stuff.

I also have (not pictured) a few promo copies from my brief stint reviewing games in a university magazine. The prize of that collection is probably Shenmue 2, the rest of the games we were sent to review were mostly mediocre to rubbish.



Now here's the hardware. One well-used PAL Dreamcast, one well-preserved NTSC-U/C Dreamcast. Both in great condition, with the original boxes, four controllers (two new and boxed) four VMUs, an official keyboard and least but not least, an arcade stick.


I'm pleased with it. I've got more games for most of my other systems, but I really love some of the ones I've got for the Dreamcast. It was a great gaming era.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Why did you keep two controllers in their boxes? Do you only have one friend?

They are just spares. Play-Asia.com had a special on the controllers a while back so that they were like... four quid each, or something? As for friends, if we play Dreamcast together, it's usually not at my house since I'm far from being in a central location. It's usually just me and the girlfriend here, so the other two aren't necessary. There's another stash of Dreamcast stuff in possession of the owner of the largest and most convenient gaming location for us all. To be honest, neither of these controllers has shown any sign of wearing out, so it's kinda pointless for me to own them, but hey... I'm not gonna miss the eight quid.

Power Stone is great for multiplayer. If you haven't played that with four people, you've missed out. It's funny how the Dreamcast was pretty much the last console where we all got around one big TV. With the PS2 there weren't honestly a lot of multiplayer games that we liked, and with everything since then... online play really is the only way to go.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

God damn right it is. Shame the PS Collection for the PSP didn't have online built in. Just another example of DC ports done injustice.

Powerstone was awesome multiplayer, agreed. We were always all about the Micromachines V3 and Tekken though.

Micromachines V3 was a fucking riot, but wasn't that like... a Playstation and Nintendo 64 title?

I believe it was called Micro Machines Turbo 64 over here.

PS1 yeah, but still got regular play in my circle of friends up to a couple of years ago. Playing eight player on the level with the moving lily-pad never grew old.

Yeah, Micro Machines 64, just the same game. Was pretty awesome.

But the reason that Sega Saturn was awesome is mostly because of Virtua Fighter and SATURN fucking BOMBERMAN. And six-button controller <3 <3

I like how the Dreamcast did keyboards. It was all YO HEY THIS IS A KEYBOARD. And it really was a keyboard.

Yeah, none of that miniature controller keyboard shit we got today. Shame it wasn't much use, outside of uh, the web browser (ahahah) and Quake 3: Arena. At least that's all I used mine for.

Yeah, the keyboard and mouse were bought for playing Quake 3: Arena, though they also got use in PSO and using the web browser to get me a free copy of ChuChuRocket (<3).

Speaking of Handhelds, anyone remember the Game Gear? Years ago, my dad got one of them for me and I remember playing Sonic a couple times (From my perspective, he seemed to enjoy technology, but also seemed to end up getting the bad stuff, like Laserdiscs or the 32X Add-on for the SegaCD ). Of course the thing raped batteries and holy fuck that Sonic game was hard.

Didn't help that the thing finally just broke one time later on, so yeah didn't have it for too long.

How ya doing, buddy?

I owned one for a time. To whit, I owned NBA Jam, Sonic the Hedgehog, NHL Hockey and Columns. Columns was a blast once I discovered how, on easy, stacking shit on the sides then going straight down the middle was the key to infinite points.

Speaking of battery drainers, I bought a Sega Nomad in college, more for the novelty than anything else. Too bad Nintendo didn't have a similar gadget during the SNES lifespan.
