A Few Questions About The Dreamcast...

Postby PirateMuffins » Fri Aug 13, 2004 8:05 am

I just bought one from my local Gamestation for £21 just to play Shenmue as i've never played it before, man was it dirty or what, all that dust covering the whole thing...anyways....where was i now...oh yes....i just want to know some good sites that sell Dreamcast games for cheap, and don't take weeks delivering the goods (U.K.)...and please don't mention Ebay, as i always get outbid on the last second thanks to my 56k connection :?

I used to have a Dreamcast back in 2001 but then it broke down (OK, i lied, i sold it, shame on me), but i never actually tried the online thing, is it any good? And does it still work?

Any help would be appreciated.

Amazons and half.com are cool, and that "buy it now" thing on ebay is pretty good too, thanks! :)

damn i'm a big ebayer, i would've told you to go there immediately...but as drporkchop said there are always "buy it now" auctions...

I tried searching google.co.uk...i believe there are small sites with non business sellers with dreamcast games...i couldn't find a link but i'm sure there's at least one out there

OK, now that the whole NTSC/PAL things sorted, can someone answer my question about the Online stuff :? Does it still work? Are there any good games for online play? (Other than PSO)
