Saw a Genesis with the 32x at the pawn shop today and they want $100 all together.

have to scour the local pawnshops. haven't seen pawnshops post that much on craigslist anymore.

Was looking thru FB marketplace and there's a couple for sale.

Nice. Hope they’re asking for a reasonable price.

My hunting ground has been the thrift store and OfferUp. They all want $100 for it with no games included.

Edit: Found this one a few hours ago. I YouTube’d the game and it looks a little slow but nothing too boring.

Dreamcast

I have a Bmx racing team shirt with Sega as one of the sponsors. Can’t figure what box I tossed it in.

Do you remember the game you played for your first time on the Dreamcast? For me, it happened to be Hydro Thunder. Back around release date.

Power stone was the first game I played. I bought a Japanese one.

System was dope. Sad it never got to develop the library the Saturn did.

I’m pretty sure it was Sonic Adventure at a kiosk in the mall or your store like Toys R Us. I liked it but had an PS1 at the time. I will be buying a Dreamcast from the thrift or flea market when it pops up. That Hydro Thunder game was fun too, I’m assuming it’s the same as PS1 version I have.

Edit: Whatever happened to your original console?

I believe it was NBA2k, only because my brother loves playing NBA basketball games. the other game I remember playing on his Dreamcast was DOA 2.

B Bronson what ever happened to your og Dreamcast console over time? Sell it? Gave it away? Parents have it saved away for you maybe?

Soul Calibur was the reason I got a Dreamcast. It was a pretty big deal back then. Hate what's happened to some of these franchises.

 

[spiderjericho]

Soul Calibur was a great upgrade from the arcade version (on System 12).

Graphically, it was probably the highlight of the Dreamcast.

Such wasted potential. Sega made a lot of bone head moves that caused them to exit the console market (32X, Saturn).

 

[slaughterx]

Soul Calibur was one of the first DC games I owned, probably one of the most solid and playable games to this day. Love making intros

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Damn sure used to do this.

That’s a great question. To be honest, I don’t completely remember. But I have the most confidence in believing that we decided to give it away. We definitely wouldn’t just dispose of it. So I probably gave it away to someone down the line.

IIRC, I think the PS2 was released the following year. So I was focused on that, as well as other systems released prior. (Super NES, N64)

That’s nice. I did the same with my og NES in giving it to my cousin in Mexico. He’s here in the US now but my console is still with his pops safely tucked away.

My man

It really does feel better to give than receive.

Receiving is good, giving is better.
