They are the origional grey ones(the same as I got back in 1999)

I got 3 off eBay and there was one in the controller that came with the console.

The 2 rumble packs I ordered have now arrived.

My collection is now at a nice stage as i have re acquired all my old classics(i will upload some pics soon).

On a side note i have just purchased one game i never had in my original collection which is a game called Coaster Works.What a fantastic game(for me anyway)
All i will say is "how did i miss that game the last time round"

Ive also managed to bag a fully working and in top condition 28 inch Phillips 4:3 CRT TV off Ebay for just £1(but i had to drive to east London to pick it up(480 mile round trip).
So once the CRT tv was added it was time to get HOTD2 and Confidential Mission along with 2 guns and 3 more VMUs.

My GDrom was having trouble reading the odd game now and again so i picked up a fully working on off Ebay for £20 and i will adjust the laser on my old one in due course.

I still use the DC on my HDTV with the VGA-HDMI 99% of the time for the none gun games.




:lol: Happy days

coaster works is to me one of the funniest game ever, ok it's not theme park but it's awesome and real fun. Shame is not vga compatible, not even with the trick...

Ah man, Coaster Works. I did an entire video (while drunk) moaning about the game on a first ever play through. XD It's actually not that bad a game, I did exaggerate for comic effect, but in my video you can see the terrible lack of physics - the rollercoaster ran out of momentum so it went backwards UP a drop to return me to the start position. It was kinda hilarious - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGVN2c4OUlE

Interestingly, Coaster Works had a Japan only sequel (Jet Coaster Dream 2) that included increased theme park development ala Rollercoaster Tycoon. I don't own it, but it's on my must-buy list. AND it includes online features (so does the first title in Japan - Jet Coaster Dream) which include at least a website link but I think the second one also had DLC. We won't know too much about that until the site's are revived though.

I'm currently in the same boat! I've been buying lots mainly for the games and currently have 3 consoles including one boxed! I want to play online BAD I just need to build a dreampi set-up. I'll probably suck but I love online gaming for current gen consoles (xbox one) but the nostalgia of the dreamcast combined with online gaming will top all haha.
