I remember first buying a VGA adapter and being blown away with the image quality. Luckily, my big screen LCD has VGA input, so I can still use the Dreamcast through that. I was playing some games through VGA last week and the image is still really impressive.
A game I like a lot, but doesn't have a positive reputation, is Rainbow Cotton. The gameplay mechanics should have been better designed, but the graphics and sound really put a smile on my face. It's a game I always enjoy coming back to. And through VGA, it's one of the best looking DC games.Last edited by Leon Retro; 01-12-2015, 00:51.

Owned and sold several Dreamcast over the years, many bargains either side of those deals too
Most memorable bargain was from some bizarre EU gaming channel thing on SKY where I got 10 sealed DC games for ?50 or something? IIRC I bagged all the StreetFighter games, MVC, Project Justice, and Grandia 2 or SKOA amongst others.
Last Blade & Garou Wasn?t getting the NeoGeo versions anytime soon so these helped satisfy my hunger!
Soul Calibur THE reason I had to buy a DC, PAL!
Dynamite Deka 2 This was so much fun, I loved the Saturn version too, graet crazy fun! Pretty sure there was some odd dlc type thing for this, can?t remember for the life of me though?
Pen Pen Trilcelon Quite possibly the most wrong game ever racer ever but a good laugh if you?re all extremely drunk.
Ikaruga Sitting and playing this was so rewarding. Edging that little further forward each time, such a pretty title.
Never got the whole chaining thing mind? Witnessing first hand someone who excelled at this, was one the most surreal things ever! He just popped up quietly at an event and was like is it okay if I have a go? I was like OFC that?s what it?s here for chap.. he then totally obliterated the game then drifted off into the crowd.
Tokyo Highway Challenge 1&2 Wasted a lot of time on these back in the day, I only say wasted as I never came back to them and I?m pretty sure the VMU?s are long gone. Felt like a real dark, shady racer, relaxed, yet pretty intense when that time comes.
Capcom Vs SNK Everything (almost) in the one place, best of both worlds. Terrible RPG
Virtua Cop 2, Confidential Mission, & HOTD Cracking Gun games
Crazy Taxi Taking people to KFC was good for a while
DOA2 Taking out Tengu!
StarWars Episode One Pod Racer Enjoyed this for a short while.
Guily Gear X My first introduction to the Guilty Gear series and it?s zany charactters.
Marvel Vs Capcom 1 & 2 Prefer these over MVC3. Some colorful memories of the initial encounters with the BOSS characters. Unlocking all the extra characters on the UK version, that bloody music on MVC2
GigaWing Cheap and cheerful SHMUP always good for a swift blast.
Bangai-0 Love the insanity in this game, so much going on all over the place! Intense.
Project JusticeReally enjoyed this at the time.
Bomberman Online A dream come true!
Trizeal Free Bandana
Border Down Was so hyped for this at the time, but just found it seriously confusing, frustrating, followed by disappointing. Never really gave it the time it deserved to be fair? Not going to be doing so in the future either as its price tag is somewhat a no go for me!
Sonic Adventure BIG POO. Hated it, played it through just did not gel with me.
Virtua Fighter 3TB Whilst I loosely enjoyed the Saturn games, I did not enjoy this at all at the time. I will go bck & try it again soon.
Radirgy I just did not get the appeal, so sold up pretty much straight away? Have the Wii versions now, and warmed slightly.
Sonic Shuffle What a pile of stinky. Not for me, hoped it would?ve been.
*My crazy Japanese Dreamcast that would refuse to play random Japanese games? Regardless of video output, but would play PAL games via a DCX perfectly?
*When I was looking for MVC2 Japan VMU saves and contacted the DCJY about back in 2009 & then got a reply in 2014 (after inviting him to join me & my RC buddies on our podcast, then realizing he was from DCJY!).
*The Blaze VGA box that I couldn?t get to work?
*The DC Mini Twin joystick thing I got for ?5.
*The Official DC Sticks I got ?10 each!
*Buying Sonic Adventure 2 Anniversary for ?5, and ridiculously cheap Shenmue 2?s
*Total Control Saturn adapter for great justice!
*Stupid DC reset issue.
*The pads I thought were horrible. Exccept for when playing Crazy Taxi then they made sense. I liked the idea of the VMU?s being slot in etc. But the D-Pad was absolutely awful!
*Ridiculous battery life of VMU?s
*Taking a DC into work for the team to play Soul Calibur on at lunch when I was working for that internet research company.
*Being able to browse online on a console, ev e n if I t w a s s l o w .
*Those ridiculously fragile PAL cases! What on earth was the point in these ever being used EVAR.
*Passing up some reasonably priced Hello Kitty & R7 Consoles
*The fact that is embodies the death of Sega in the console market.

I STILL have yet to mod the PAL DC that I purchased from [MENTION=9865]Colin[/MENTION] a few years ago! Gotta get around to that. Maybe in the new year...

Pen Pen Trilcelon Quite possibly the most wrong game ever racer ever but a good laugh if you?re all extremely drunk.
For me though my favourite memory of the DC is the day I got PSO . It was just a pure magical experience to play the game online, make friends/chat too and play co-op with various DC owners around the world . Where each player tried to help and look out for each other (sadly that friendly sprit has seemed to died with Online gaming these days) . One of those rare games where hours seemed like minitues and where I would rather stay in and play the game, than go out .
PSO was just such a magical game to play and take part in back inthe day.Last edited by Team Andromeda; 01-12-2015, 13:05.

My word I do love the Tokyo Battle games though. Also Power Stone was immense fun.
