YES, I have! Oh man they kicked ass.
I had one a couple weeks ago during my Shenmue 2 play-through.
I remember it pretty well. First I was walking to a game store (hopefully not Game$top) and went inside and found Shenmue 3 for Dreamcast. I flipped out, stole it and ran home (haha i dont know, in real life I would have payed for it), booted it in my HKT-01 and hacked the GD-Rom files (I specifically remember looking at the 1st_Read.bin in some hex editor probably HxD since I use it alot) and then I got pulled into my HKT-01 and got transported to Guilin 1986. I became Ryo and went on an adventure in that cave and went to Languishan. For some reason, I would meet Shenhua's father and he would always be a dark shadow ( goddamn shenmue secrets) but he would always feel like some type of powerful figure. The dreams would end the same way too, with me as Ryo defeating some ultimate enemy, who was also a shadow.
Its amazing what physics can do in your mind.
It was soo real it almost felt like I was living Shenmue in some alternate reality after pondering the series for over a decade.
You know, in theoretical physics, which I do work on in Princeton NJ, we have a theory that all things thought up actually create different worlds that exist outside of our plane of reality.
Maybe shenmue is out there somewhere.
You could rationalize the idea when you think about hyper-physics involving quantum entanglement.
Its very complex but fascinating.
