Dreamcast-Talk.com

Hey all,

I recently landed a "revision 1" PAL Dreamcast in full working order with controllers and a few games for the princely sum of gratis. It had been dumped in a box in my neighbourhood and I would've been insane not to grab it.

Right now I'm waiting for an RGB Scart cable to arrive because it only had an RF lead - which was a surprise that any gamer would have been using that in the late 90s for a new machine but if you have any recommendations for games and homebrew that I should check out as a newbie, please share them. I like all genres and I'm always prepared to step out of my comfort zone and give the unusual a try.

Cheers!

Wow, that's a lucky find! And what's also lucky is that the Dreamcast has a fantastic homebrew scene, if I do say so myself.

And since you're asking... I totally recommend Intrepid Izzy.

Someone tossed all of that. That's a damn shame. smh

Well you know the saying. One mans trash is another mans treasure.

Noted and thanks.

That was from just one box containing the Dreamcast stuff. There was another box with a working Mega Drive II, games, the PSU, controllers - plus PS2 controllers, a PC gamepad (sealed box), spindles of DVD+RW's, dozens of DVD/CD cases and DVD/CD sleeves - both of which will come in handy for burning my own DC discs.

This haul is definitely my treasure.

Wow thats a lot of stuff. Damn good find!

I almost feel bad for whoever threw that stuff out. They must be doing bad to do that.

Metropolis Street Racer and Crazy Taxi were dumped?
Lol!
