Dreamcast games are so nostalgic for me, but.... they're so expensive these days. Is it worth it to pick some of these games up these days? It can be frustrating, but it can also be a ton of fun. What do you guys think?

What's your favorite part of your Dreamcast collection?
Got the Dreamcast with the GDEMU and SD cards. I also got the green goblin arcade stick microphone for seaman the steering wheel the fishing rod and 11 vmu's plus the maracas for Samba de amigo
The dreamcast was the first console i completed the full set for back in 2013. I love this console. Top 5 for sure.
ARKANSAS?! HOT DANG MY MAN. I don't live in the area anymore but I was up in Conway for years. Just moved to Birmingham, AL in 2023. One thing I miss is how good AR's used gaming market was with GameXchange, GamePoint, and other smaller shops around. Very weird how Central AR developed a strong used gaming market. I mean it was popping even when we were kids in the 90s. I bought many a fairly rare game at GameXchange off Rodney Parham. Plus Hasting always had stock of low print games that you couldn't find in Wal-Mart or even a GameStop.
My old house in Conway was right on the corner of Donaghey and Meadowlake. I could see GamePoint from my front door! I miss having such a good store so close.
I bought a new and sealed Tomb Raider Chronicles and I played it on my Dreamcast but about 20 mins into the game it kept freezing, looked at the disc and I read that it could be disc rot, even when it's been sealed and looks/is completely new the discs are literally rotting away slowly. Another thing I want a GDEMU is for the noise, wow is the GD-Drive LOUD! 😂
I'm going for a complete dreamcast collection. I am not buying anything online only from game stores , flea markets and garage sales. It is very tough to find any dreamcast in the wild these days. But I'm having fun with the hunt
you did hold your zombie revenge disc up to a light correct? cause it sounds more like disc rot, i can't imagine a disc not playing for such a small scratch
I had a Dreamcast when I was a teenager. We lost it all in a move. I'm now 40years old and want to start collecting it.
I totally agree with valuing something more when you paid out.
What RPGs would you recommend?
Love the video keep making more like this!
Shenmue is a must play, Grandia II is also good. Those are around $50 each. Record of Lodoss War is getting up there, but it's a Dreamcast exclusive and one of my favorites. If you dig Diablo or any dungeon crawler, you'll see value in that game.
I'm 40 too, I started re-collecting having been forced to sell up in 2012. I won't lie in 2024 I'd say not to bother with original discs, had GDEmu been a thing when I first started rebuying I wouldn't have bothered going for the full set again. My honest opinion in 2024 is forget the og discs, put that money into a DC Digital modded console with GDEmu instead. All the games with the best video output you can get.
Nice Video ! Sub & Big Like ! And Love Retro Dreamcast Games !
I collected for the Dreamcast for a short time and just couldn’t find any games I enjoyed that I could justify buying I got rid of it but my fav games to play were crazy taxi and virtua tennis
It's really one of the best consoles of all time IMHO. Both of those games are great.
Most of the games are really boring if you don't have a friend or two to play with
I would have one with new capacitors and reading discs and one with the sd card emulation, dreamcast had the best versions of a lot of ps1 classics like resident evil 2 and Spiderman, and marvel vs capcom 1... I would suggest getting the retrofighters controller, the OG controller seemed too uncomfortable for me cause I have big hands, hehe... the sega DC its still awesome but I would suggest if anyone wants to start now, really think about how much money are you willing to put out with... I started collecting for DC in 2002 so I got most of the games I wanted for really cheap but I see it daunting to start today
Dreamcast!!!🔥
you could use google lense( think thats what its called) to translate the manual in real time(text will show up in english on screen as you look at the manual)
I had one and I played KOF (King of Fighters on it. I remember the cut scene and being blow away by it! 💜 I played that and some affordable game game I bought at Walmart, and I remember beating that game, and the only scene I remember was a fight scene in a restaurant kitchen! 😅 What GDMU route? I know I could google it, but whats the fun in that?
The GDEMU is a replacement for the disc drive. Instead of using discs, you can play all of your games off of an SD card. czcams.com/video/_SQrLvKJ2_E/video.html
@@travisbowmanmusic ohhh! Thank you
it doesn't feel wrong to emulate games lol
can you adjust the laser
You can, but it's highly recommended that you don't unless you know what you're doing. There is so much risk of damaging the laser even further, and then you'll have a dead disc drive.
After getting the marvel Vs capcom 2 arcade 1 up I found out the Dreamcast PlayStation 2 original Xbox didn’t get the arcade version go buy the arcade 1 up and enjoy the arcade version
Its not your games. Its your dreamcast. The dreamcast lens is one if the worst. I have certain games that play on my OG dreamcast and others on my sports Edition.
This is it exactly! I have a full N/a set and I need 3 dreamcasts in order to play them all
@@arstedus Yeah it weird. I even have some unreleased repros and they work on different consoles. At first all of them worked on my sports edition but then some started to not work and only worked on my OG console.
Like I stated in the video, I highly recommend getting your GD-ROM capacitors replaced. I had similar issues with a few Dreamcasts not reading games, and now I have zero issues at all with games that are in good condition.
