Post everytime you get ANYTHING retro. We want to know (^v^)

Hmm. Sea (boat) shipping from Japan to the UK is very reasonable.

Yes but takes about 4 weeks & is also a right royal pain in the arse, if your not shipping lots of stuff...I know I work in the industry, better off paying for air shipping...quikcer & less chance of damage.

Another nice bundle of Sega 8-bit goodness arrived yesterday:

[MyDogSkip]

Just picked up a Dreamcast AND a Saturn (both PAL) with Clockwork Knights for the saturn and Sonic adventure and Toy Commander for the Dreamcast.

What are the best games to get on these two systems would everyone recommend?

Just picked up a Dreamcast AND a Saturn (both PAL) with Clockwork Knights for the saturn and Sonic adventure and Toy Commander for the Dreamcast.

What are the best games to get on these two systems would everyone recommend?

I'd Consider These All Essentials For The Dreamcast:

Chu Chu Rocket
Crazy Taxi 1 & 2
Jet Set Radio
Resident Evil CODE: Veronica
Rez
Sega Rally 2
Shenmue 1 & 2
Soul Calibur
Virtua Tennis 1 & 2

You may also want to try:

Cosmic Smash (the bastard love-child of Virtua Tennis and Rez, Japan only release though so a bit pricey)
Dead or Alive 2 (like Tekken, but not as good. It does have girls with big bouncy boobs though)
House of the Dead 2 or Confidential Mission (2 great light-gun games)
Samba De Amigo (crazy maracas game)
Sega Marine Fishing (great fishing game that is much better than the bass ones)
Sports Jam (great party game based on various american sports, not sure it was released here though, mines Japanese)
Tokyo Highway Challenge 2 (great street racing game)

The Dreamcast Also Has Some Of The Best 2D-Fighters Too, If You Like Those I Recommend:

Capcom vs. SNK 1 & 2
Garou - Mark of the Wolves
King of Fighters '99 Evolution, 2000, 2001, 2002
Marvel vs. Capcom 1 & 2

Most those are Jap only though, same for the great posthumous shoot-em-ups like:

Ikaruga
Border Down
Radilgy
Under Defeat
Trigger Heart Exelica

That should keep you going but without knowing what you're into I can't really recommend anything...

The text looks Korean from that photo. I'd also like to know what it is.

Yeah, it's the Korean Samsung version of Hang On/Safari Hunt, which wasn't released in Japan.
The loose copy of The Circuit next to it is also the Samsung version.

12-51-00, Thanks man, ill keep a look out for all those titles!!

This is kinda my first dip into retro gaming! Im into anything really, i mainly got the dreamcast because i love Sonic Adventure and Toy Commander from when i had one before!

Im into any sort of game, but im not mad on driving sims or sports games. Im really looking for unique games, like REZ or Samba di Amigo.

Thanks so much for the list though mate!!!

In that case, get Cosmic Smash. Genius, original gameplay - surreal and compulsive. And smooth as silk.

What's that 'Yamato' game like?

Always keen to see games based on actual WW2 warships!

Well I'd say Jet Set Radio is where you need to be starting. Chu Chu Rocket is also a must as it's so plentiful and cheap. Crazy Taxi is much more than a driving sim so don't dismiss that if you haven't tried it. I could even give you a PAL copy of Sonic Adventure 2 I have laying around as I already have a Jap one and don't want it.

EDIT: Looking for Sonic Adventure 2 I also found a PAL copy of Super Magnetic Neo I was given ages ago but don't really want. That looks unique, look it up and if you're interested you can have that too, I'm feeling generous lol

Mint condition with all baggies, shame Space Harrier (just like OutRun) doesn't like my skeleton Saturn... I so need a grey Saturn.All mint with spine cards, expect for Metal Slug which doesn't have a spine.

Slow week for me!

it doesnt come with a spine or yours didnt come with a spine

i know the ram cart box version doesnt have a spine (or a back inlay) but the standalone slug does indeed come with a spine

You could always get the US version of Sega Ages if you have a converter cartridge for your Saturn. It shouldn't cost you too much if you wait for a cheap copy to appear and if you have to go to the trouble of setting up a second console just for those two games I guarantee you'll end up never playing them

Didn't even realise that stick could be used with Space Harrier - they've got one in my local Recycle shop for about 100 yen, might have to pick it up then.

I'm presumign it will work with the PAL Sega ages?? Think I've got a copy knocking around back in the U.K somewhere
