So Shenmue is a series I have always had interest in, and now seems like the time to dive in.
I understand they were made for the Dreamcast, which I don't have. Is my only choice tracking a Dreamcast system down along with the games or are there ports/emulation options that I'm not aware of?
And some more questions about the series in particular:
1.) What other games would you compare them to? I've watched some trailers and gameplay but have a tough time getting a read on the style
2.) Do they still hold up well today?
Edit: I have an Xbox One, but no 360 or Xbox 1. I do have a PS3, PS4, and pretty powerful gaming PC
UPDATE 1:
In the end, I decided I want the authentic dreamcast and Shenmue experience, for better or worse I have ordered a PAL Dreamcast system and a VGA adapter. I am paying a lot for it but will probably end up flipping everything once I'm finished and hopefully get back most of what I paid.
As for the games themselves - I'm still scoping them out and looking for a reasonable price, but I'll be playing PAL versions of both Shenmue 1 and 2 on my Dreamcast.
