    Does anywhere still sell Dreamcast stuff?

    Bought a dreamcast + lots of extras from ebay for my student house (could proove to be some drunken fun), anyway - does anybody know of online shops that still sell DC stuff?

    Looking in particular for Soul Calibur & House of the Dead 2 (with a recoil gun ) - looked on ebay but they are either ending ages off, or going for what I think is too much (when including postage)

    www.cex.co.uk ? Got plenty of Sega stuff from there in my time. Also, the other obvious place is boot fairs.

    Dreamcast = greatest console ever, IMHO. If you can find them I heartily recommend getting two of the arcade controller sticks, the quality of them is just amazing, and the conversions of the Capcom fighting games are pretty much arcade perfect. Nothing beats a two player game of the original Marvel Vs Capcom for frantically paced button bashing lunacy. Every time the splash sreen comes up in a massive burst of noise and colour I can't help grinning.

    I sat down six months after getting my Dreamcast and decided to work out how much I'd spent in total on the system, games and accessories. I decided to stop counting at £700. I still think that the £100 that Samba Di Amigo cost me was the best £100 I've ever spent. Jet Set Radio and Shenmue are two of the must have games too, both are incredible. I'm enough of a geek that I have the Jap, US and UK versions of JSR, the music is different for each and the UK + US versions have two extra levels.

    Try Street Fighter II Turbo, SNES, 2 player. *The* classic Beat 'em Up.

    We've been here before mate. Note the 'IMHO' this time. Still, what flaws? It's only flaw as far as I can see is that the controller wasn't universally liked- and the fact it was a Sega, and followed the Saturn.

    Nah, too hard. The fact that you can win at MvC purely by mashing the buttons quicker is a great advantage to a gameplaying numpty like myself.

    Well yes, the fact that it died before it was really alive, and therefore no-one brought one and its lifespan was very short. A bit like the N64.

    No point being a small scale success, with 7 satisfied owners and 4 good games - although I don't think it was a brilliant machine, you can hardly call the Dreamcast a success compared to the Playstation, can you?

    A lot of the games I played were interesting and very well done, but hardly classics. House of the Dead II, Sonic Adventure, Soul Caliber. All good games, but I'm pretty sure most gamers top 10 games wouldn't have many Dreamcast titles in.
