If there was already a thread today, please tell me...

Dremacast. Seven years now.

Where is yours? Has it doubled its weight in dust, or stayed fit by playing PSO v2 and Chu Chu Rocket all the time?

My Dreamcast was a slut. It popped out little baby VMUs left and right...

Mine has been collecting dust for a good three years now.

Mine is still sitting on top of my Xbox, and still gets used frequently.

I just got one for free from a friend of mine... it had Street Fighter III: Third Strike, two controllers and two VMUs with it. I have a feeling that it will see a fair amount of usage.

So my DC will be 7 on Christmas? Nice to know XD

Yes, the same DC for 7 years. Lately hasn't had much use, but that's due to being busy.

Marvel vs Capcom 2 forever <3

Sadly, mine's dead and buried in the attic now.

I hadn't played it for quite some time, and decided I wanted to play some Dreamcast a while back. I played a few rounds of Crazy Taxi, and the Dreamcast just died. I could always mail it to Sega and have it repaired for some $40.00, or buy a used one for half the price, but I haven't gotten around to it.

Regardless Dreamcast was an awesome system! Hard to believe it's been 7 years since I got it.

My Dreamcast still sits next to the GameCube, occasionally getting some game time with Jet Grind Radio and Grandia II.

Oh! Jet Grind Radio! Another awesome game i should play. I think I'll also restart Skies of Arcadia. Anyone else remember awesome DC games?

Mine's packed up neatly away...sorta. I don't think I'll ever get rid of any of my systems. I have some you'd be shocked at...perhaps. I mostly keep it because I can't part with my original copies of PSO. Phantasy Star is just too important to me. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Yeah..

Quake III w/ Keyboard & Mouse
Alien Front Online (Voice Chat on 56k!)
Soul Calibur (still the best in the series, and still DC exclusive)
Shenmue II import
Seaman (Not really a "game", but fun - and a nice Monty Python reference)
ect..

My Dreamcast has been packed away for a good 18 months now. I simply don't have room for it to be set up anymore.

I tried to play Starlancer a couple months ago, but somehow managed to lose the video connector for my DC... doh! I will find it one day http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Hm.. 7 years already?
Mine is still sitting near the TV. I still have some (unfinished) games to play on it, but never have the time.

I've had about 3 Dreamcasts, all used. First time I got it, the TV aerial wouldn't work. Gamestation changed it for free, and checked it on their TV while I was in the shop http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif That sorted, I cleared Shenmue 1, bought Shenmue 2, but couldn't be arsed finishing it, so I sold it with the Dreamcast to get a game I wanted for the Cube. Then I bought it again from a car boot sale, but the lid was defected as the disc spun but then it stopped and went to the main menu for the dreamcast. So I stored it in a cupboard next to my dead PS1 (got another 1 http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif ). Found another Dreamcast from a second hand shop. Guy had no idea about games or consoles, just knew how to sell them http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif Tested it with Rayman in the shop, but didn't know what the buttons did http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif The dreamcast was yellow 'cause it had been in the back of the shop in the sun for years http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif The controller port had to have dust blown out of it.
I currently still play on my 'Cast, on Shadow Man, or Vigilante 8 2nd Offense. I had Skies of Arcadia but got bored of it. I have Sword of the Berserk, Virtua Fighter 3tb, and Evolution Land of Sacred Fist but have stopped playing them.
