Happy Birthday Dreamcast 9.9.99

interesting that NA is the only region where VF3tb was not available at launch, including Japan which launched nearly a full year earlier. the NA release is the best version of the game due to better shadows and the inclusion of an isolated versus mode, though.

Celebrate it's birthday this week.
Mourn it's death next week.
I got one by trading one N64 NFL game for a Dreamcast, 2 controllers and 3 games (NWO, Powerstone and Soul Calibur). We were supposed to trade back but never did. Years later I found out the guy gloated about ripping me off and I'm not sure how he worked that out.

It's crazy how important Sonic Adventure ended up being for me. I was pretty much a Nintendo kid and wasn't that into anything SEGA did aside from dropping a quarter here and there in some of their arcade machines.
Then one day I went into my local anime/import game shop and they were playing Sonic Adventure. I was completely floored at that point and made the Dreamcast launch my highest priority and it went on to be my favorite console of all time. I probably would have gotten one eventually for all the arcade ports but still Sonic Adventure is probably one of the few games that single-handedly sold on me on an entire system.
To this day it's still my second favorite Sonic game after Secret Rings.
I think that might be true. Definitely the first game I encountered with dynamic music. The battles would really feel tense when your HP was low, and when you were winning you feel like the shit!
Oh...yeah you definitely got the short end of that stick alright! ^_~
My Tiny Collection
I've been playing Dreamcast all week. Here's some VF3 thing I recorded last night.
I absolutely LOVE this monitor for Dreamcast play.
NEC 71V.
Got my Dreamcast 11/22/1999. Not my favorite SEGA console, but lots of good memories with it and I still play it pretty regularly.
Love that VF combo. You are the man!
Been playing SEGA Rally and Virtua Fighter in celebration of 9.9.99. I love my Dreamcast.
One day too late. Happy birthday Dreamcast :'(
My humble collection
Excellent solid collection! Such a shame that you don't have the godly Metropolis Street Racer (M:SR) in there though. I love that game - the most real city feeling you could ever get and that's largely thanks to the radio and real-time scheduled day & night let alone the replication of the cities such as Tokyo. Miss those music...

Thanks for the compliment, appreciate it!
I used to play MSR over at the game store where I used to work at. I'm not that much of a racing fan though, although I love playing racing games like Outrun or F-Zero.
I have to wholeheartedly agree with you that MSR was far ahead of it's time when compared to other racing titels. And it looked gorgeous to boot. I'd probably snag me a copy if I would ever cross paths with one again.

It says so much about the Dreamcast (or maybe a little about me, heh) that I still occasionally discover cool games for it that I never knew existed.
Just recently it was:
Roommania #203

still can't get over the fact that DC has a CARNAGE HEART CLONE and I didn't know about it until like a month ago

Here's a review of one of my favourite Dreamcast games
Vanishing Point (2001)

I completed it 100% playing it now and again over some 14 years!

I still can't believe I never played a Dreamcast before, let alone even held a Dreamcast controller. That console just blew right past me and none of my friends picked one up. I really feel like I need to pick one up to check out a few of the games that never got ported to other consoles.

I got super confused how all this was posted 3 days in the future, till i saw the year.
Do it! The Dreamcast is still my favorite video game console of all time!
I also think about getting one. I'd love to see the Half-Life Dreamcast version running on it. That would probably give me the chills, since that's the only Half-Life version I've never played.
