Here is a list of the current ten most expensive PAL Dreamcast games (in my opinion). Hopefully this proves useful to anyone going for a full set. Bear in mind that these prices fluctuate rapidly.
So glad I bought all my games during fire sales in 2002-2003. Most of these were only a few quid sealed back then. Sega Bass fishing was only sold with the fishing controller online in the UK (which is why it's so rare). The online store was only accessible via the Dreamcast browser. There was a few other things that were online exclusive for the UK, including the PAL Coloured controllers (orange, yellow, green and blue) and the Sonic Adventure 2 Anniversary edition. I remember trying to purchase that with the 33k modem and it sold out in about 2 minutes.
You need a full pal GameCube set now ! I have a complete dreamcast and gamecube ntsc set and I'm trying for a complete ps1 and ps2 ntsc set and since the are the number 1 and 2 largest console game sets its going to be tough !
Haha. No full sets for me, it's not something I really think is worth doing. Doing the Dreamcast set was fun, but I have no desire to do anymore. PS2 set is insanely big, dude!
As a man who doesn't have unlimited money, the video is much appreciated. The only games on your list that are still on my list of Dreamcast games are Evolution 2 and Cannon Spike... and I am not looking forward to the hunt for affordable copies of them either =/
Thanks Wayne, I was hoping that it would be useful to some people. Sadly the two you've mentioned don't pop up often, but frequent searches to yield results. Since doing this vid I've seen Evo 2 sell (bundled with Evolution) for £80, think it was from Germany.
Another great video Pete. It goes to show that although the dc is still the cheapest system to collect for, a lot of the prices have went up Apart from sambi (which hasn't really changed price) The most expensive game when I was collecting was rez at 35quid. A dc hidden gems vid would be cool too. I did one 3years ago(a very basic vid) but it would be cool to see what games have gotten more popular over the years.
+markhorsburgh Thanks Mark. Most expensive Rez at £35! Jesus. The Dreamcast is definitely a relatively cheap console to collect for, no really big prices. I'll have a think on a hidden gems vid.
About 5 -6 years ago a used DC with a controller and often VMU included sold at shops for $20(USD) in perfect working order. Now I cannot locate a used console (only) for under $100, typically $180! Some want even more! Thankfully I knew my original wouldn’t last forever and had the foresight to buy a couple more for $20-25 and blessed to be given my brother’s for free! If SEGA would by miracle release a “Dreamcast Classic Mini” as they did with the Mega Drive/Genesis and retain optical disc use my problems would be solved! But not expecting it to happen (though if they combined a SEGA CD, Saturn and Dreamcast into one Classic machine capable of playing virtually all games (a cart slot for for older machines would be cheap), they would sell 100 million by Noon and be the first vintage company to run their entire library (32xCD included, cuz why not?). It would be historic!
@@onaretrotip Marvel Vs Capcom 2 is the most expensive used game I know of, selling for $300 easily. The one used sSaturn Panzer Dragoon Saga I’ve seen for sale in a shop is $1,400.00(USD). It sold within a workday.
Cheers Stew! It's definitely got some good things going for it. The character design and graphics are fantastic, but it can get a bit repetitive gameplay wise. Considering the lack of RPGs on the system I'd say it's definitely worth picking up for serious RPG fans, but doesn't warrant the high price tag.
Awesome video. Really interesting + great tips! :-) I haven't built my Dreamcast collection beyond the games I originally had for it when it used to be the current generation of consoles. Sold a lot which sucks, but hope to build up my collection for it again one day in the future :-)
+MyGamerXP Thanks! I never had one myself back when it was current gen, but my flatmate had one and we loved it. Soul Calibur, Power Stone, Crazy Taxi... good times!
Great video. Really interesting. Would be good to do another video in a couple of years time looking at how the prices have gone up or down and if any game has managed to break into the top ten.
+Scott's Game Reviews SGR Haha, tell me about it. You can buy the game for a fiver, and the regular blue/white boxed rod isn't too expensive, so you're basically paying for the Bass Fishing sleeve.
Good guide, and we'll done on the full library mate. These are cheap prices compared to the rarest GX games, and they don't appear frequently either. Up to 500 quid in some sales.
+Novabug Cheers Chris. Yeah, the Dreamcast is cheap to collect for definitely. It's funny that the GX only has 26 games (is it 26?) but they're so much more expensive.
It's good that you get a little fluctuation with the value of dreamcast games, you stand a better chance of getting a deal, instead of the unbelievable price spikes on some other older systems.
+Mongoose On A Unicycle Definitely. Many Dreamcast game prices are still rising, but they won't reach the silly prices that some Mega Drive or SNES games have hit. I mean who has the cash lying around to spunk a grand on a game ffs?
+onaretrotip You can't really justify paying that kind of stupid money for a game I'll go 60 max unless it's in a bundle I feel the kind of collectors who throw money at everything can't value their collection as much as people who have spent hours searching or miles traveling on the hunt for sensible deals, ultimately it's these kind of collectors that get bored and move on to something else, simply because they have invested money, but not the time to source the games they own.
I love how every CZcamsr that has a complete set, or all the rare Dreamcast games managed to buy EVERY SINGLE GAME at a great price, and a lot less than what people tend to sell them for. Come on guy, you didn't get EVERY SINGLE GAME dirt cheap.
I can guarantee you that I paid under the going rate for every single game in the full Dreamcast set, thanks to some wheeling and dealing and patience. I didn't get them dirt cheap by any means. Many on this list I got for nothing or very very cheap (like Project Justice, Taxi 2, Samba de Amigo, Bass Fishing). But other games I paid a lot for. For example, I paid about £55 for MoHo, £70 for Cannon Spike, and £95 for Evolution 2. Way under the going rates, but not "dirt cheap" by any means. So, I absolutely did get every game at a great price, fact. But I did not get every game dirt cheap.
Cool video! Really wish we had got the actual DC releases of Rez and Shenmue 2 in the states. It's nice we got the chance to play them on other systems but it's not the same as experiencing them on the intended hardware.
I own them all, I have a complete PAL DC collection & another DC collection of about 3rd complete of only factory sealed titles..I am actually thinking about selling my collection (with lots of cool DC extras,) for the right price, I just don't have the room anymore,
Nice! Yeah the full set does take up a bit of space. Will you be selling as a set or in bits? You should head over to the Galaxy Sega Facebook page, there's always interest in DC there, and a few guys are going for full sets.
A French Dreamcast is PAL, so will play any PAL games (the whole of Europe, and Australia). So yes, any games from UK/Spain?Italy will work. You can also play import games from North America and Asia, but you'll need a boot disc.
Excellent vídeo Pete.... Evil Twin & Rival Schools 2 are on my want list. I have the PS2 version of Evil Twin but 1st played it on the Dreamcast & I actually prefer it on the DC... goes for a fair bit these days unlike the PS2 version which can be bought for under a tenner. :)
+1msx2go Thanks John! Rival Scholls 2 is such a fantastic game, I was really into Street Fighter EX + Alpha in my teens and it's very similar. Yes, I've seen the PS2 version of Evil Twin fairly often for about a fiver, which makes it even more painful. Luckily I got it free in a bundle.
Nice to see what the general prices are for the most expensive games on the system. At least there aren't any silly ones that cost an absolute bomb. Ace overview buddy :-)
Recently bought a Dreamcast on eBay. Currently playing Shadow Man, still awesome after all these year's. Yeah, i noticed Taxi 2 currently going for around £70. My reaction was to laught and say get the fuck out of here 😂
Bloody hell, lucky find! I can't complain as I got a lot of the big hitters for nothing (in bundles), but I did cringe paying so much for MoHo as it's shit.
onaretrotip Yeah man, looking back I'm so damn happy I picked it up for pennies. At the time I was just starting to add to my original Dreamcast collection from back in the day and didn't really know everything value wise. Had a choice of a few games and I only picked it up because I'd never heard of it.. glad I did, now knowing how expensive and shit it is!
@@onaretrotip I'll never sell them my GC collection because I'll get a couple of pounds for games they're selling at 15 to £20. The price gap is too large for me.
Top vid mate really good tips you shared there. Im hoping the prices will start to steady out about but can't see that happening for a while. Love the dreamcast , I don't have huge collection but when I started a while back now was so much easier and cheaper. Great vid buddy and have a good week.
+Gamer Geek World Thanks mate. I think that they'll rise for a while still as the people who had them as kids are now at the age where they have disposable income, and that's when console game prices rise, but will probably plateau. Have a great week too!
What’s a “quid” and do they swim? (Icebreaker). I’m very new to PAL, as I live in the States. One question I’ve had for a long time is why did the region choose PAL? That’s 10HZ/FPS lower than the 60 I’m used to. Did PAL simply come out sooner and became the default, or are there other reasons or advantages to it VS NTSC/60HZ? Saving a sliver of power, perhaps? Great video! Dreamcast is my all time favorite system! I’m currently building one and a 17” flatscreen PC monitor into a suitcase (using the VGA-Cable) for rainy days on vacation, and just to originate, design and successfully complete a project born solely of my own mind and design (we all need accomplishments to be proud of, and once assembled I’ll know I conceived and completed it on my own as well as having a portable that beats the living snot out of anything else on the market, full of surprises I’m not ready to reveal! :) My only concern is that partially due to my being silly and partially due to my 4 Dreamcasts being 22 years old, 3 of the 4 Dreamcasts are now finicky when it comes to reading discs. This is due to the tiny laser-calibration screw being nudged or bumped 1/16th” in either direction being able to prevent discs from being read and played at all, OR, when set said 1/16th” in the right direction, having an absolutely pristine image and flawless gameplay. I have no interest in replacing my optical drives with a GD-EMU. My games are on disc and I’m not going to convert them all to SD Card format nor download images illegally. I also love the loud sound of a proper DC spinning. Have you any tips on setting the calibration screws just right and locking them into place? Or am I better off trying to find a real repair shop with guaranteed work or buying replacement GD-ROM drives? Any help would be massively appreciated! Thank you and take care!
I think PAL vs NTSC was for several reasons, one being differences in power, and PAL was supposed to be newer (improved) technology. You'd have to research it as I'm no expert. I don't really know much about hardware mods either I'm afraid, I always get other people to do them for me. I have a GDEMU Dreamcast which is awesome, but I kept a standard unmodded one too for my disc games.
In the 1950s, the Western European countries began plans to introduce colour television, and were faced with the problem that the NTSC standard demonstrated several weaknesses, including colour tone shifting under poor transmission conditions, which became a major issue considering Europe's geographical and weather-related particularities. To overcome NTSC's shortcomings, alternative standards were devised, resulting in the development of the PAL and SECAM standards. The goal was to provide a colour TV standard for the European picture frequency of 50 fields per second (50 hertz), and finding a way to eliminate the problems with NTSC. Just to add as well pal does run at a higher resolution than NTSC but unfortunately due to poor conversions our games were squished due to the resolution not being used.. Thank god 70% of pal dreamcast games support pal 60hz :D Now days it's a moot point thanks to hdmi and modern displays But back then Jesus did we get screwed in the Pal region up until the Xbox 360 and PS3 And a "quid" Is UK slang for a £1 coin
@@HollowRick PAL is better in everyway imo, Only downside is the 50hz for gaming as 50hz for tv shows and movies didn't effect it they were filmed for 24fps while NTSC had lot of ghosting since it forced shows and movies to 30fps. Anyway PAL has higher resolution and better colours over NTSC and the 50hz problem got solved in the 90s with 60hz PAL tvs it's just not any of the consoles support it until the Dreamcast and even then like you said there was still a lot of games that were just 50hz.
Thanks, Glen! I don't really know much about the sealed games, and they're quite hard to price as there one of those 'worth what someone is willing to pay' things I think.
I was going to get Shenmue II for my Dreamcast two years ago but because of how expensive it is for the Dreamcast, I decided to buy the Xbox version since that version is cheaper, I'd love to have the Dreamcast version as well though, since that is the original version. Nice big collection of Dreamcast games by the way, I spotted a few games that I have for my Dreamcast.
+Initial Dale Thanks mate! Yeah, the Dreamcast version of Shenmue II is very nice but it makes sense to play the XBOX version financially. I've never actually played the XBOX version, it is more or less the same?
glad i still have my original shenmue 2 copy, random question but other than Seaman are there any other Virtual pet type games for Dreamcast. I think i have evolution 1 or 2 but without case. great video :)
Great vid mate, don't know to much about dreamcast so always nice to get some info! Rival schools is quality and never heard of cannon spike going to check that out now,
Floored to see Evolution 2 go for so much. It's a pretty fun game -- average but decent humor -- but that price is nuts! I can't think of any North American release that fetches that amount, taking the exchange rate into account. Cannon Spike, GigaWing 2, and Mars Matrix go for a bit.
+TGApuleius Yeah, Evolution 2 is a crazy price compared to the North American version, that's $140-170 at the current exchange rate (which is actually really low, usually it's $1.70 to a pound and currentl;y it's only $1.40). GigaWing 2 and Mars Matrix are two great shooters that we sadly didn't get in Europe, so I need to pick those up at some point.
I agree that with any game (bar maybe a few) if tou can wait and bide your time you can find an affordable copy. I've found games (not Dreamcast) in countries like Greece and Germany.
+The Highlander Definitely Wouter. It's always worth investing some time and searching around. I had a ton of saved searches and checked them daily, it's amazing what you can save.
Darn it, I only have two of these, ha ha! Good to know about this stuff sir, very interesting - I knew I should have bought some of these back at the time, my list of gaming regrets has just grown. Great vid though dude!
+Dibbs of the Grig Gaming Thanks mate. Which two do you have out of interest? I know right, I wish I'd cleared out all the gaming stores when they were selling off Dreamcast games for next to nothing. I hear stories of bargain bins in Gamestation selling titles like MoHo for a fiver.
+onaretrotip yeah, I remember something similar with the Saturn. I went into Dixons once and they just seemed to want shot of their Saturn games and they were all about £5. I got a bunch but the one that stands out most now is Burning Rangers as I've seen that at some pretty steep prices. The two DC games I have are Project Justice and Shenmue 2. I got them both new and they're in perfect condition so that's nice - in fact, when I open Shenmue 2 it still has that new game smell about it for some reason! Really wanted Cannon Spike, Rez and Samba De Amigo back at the time. I can't even remember why I didn't get them now, but it was an error, ha ha!
+Dibbs of the Grig Gaming Damn, what a shame. Yeah, Burning Rangers def goes for a few quid these days. A fiver - blimey! At least you have Project Justice and Shenmue II from new, I'm getting well into Project Justice, that's a cracking game.
The prices tend to fluctuate on a lot of the Dreamcast games. I found Street Fighter Double Impact to be the worst culprit, I grabbed mine for about £25 but there's disc only copies on Ebay for nearly £40??!!??. The PAL Samba definitely commands a larger price than the other 2 regions but I'd still like an american version to complete the set :)
+HoratioVanBasten Yeah the prices are up and down on a few games, it's quite odd sometimes. A few went up during the months that I was collecting them, so I wish I'd done them sooner, MoHo being one example.
Just wish more of the game's were VGA compatible. Just a pain to collect for, recently bought Dino Crisis only to find out it isn't VGA compatible 😞 Also just wondering, is Buggy Heat VGA compatible ? On lists, some say it is and others say it isn't ? Thank you.
Yeah, that can be really inconvenient having to swap the cables. Sadly a few of Capcom's games don't support it. I'm not sure, I'd have to check my copy of Buggy Heat. If you ask over at Galaxy Sega on Facebook someone will know (or I can ask for you).
Dabbled with getting the full Pal DC collection, years ago, when I had a far greater disposable income, lasted 6 months before I thought sod this and ended up getting shot of an awful lot of dross, was never going to play it.
Yeah, it's pointless really. I managed to get them all very cheap, so when I did sell off a lot of the collection it had all appreciated in value by several thousand. I was the same though; ended up having loads of games sat on the shelf not being played so I decided to move them on.
Heya onaretrotip! I'm a diehard Heroes of Might and Magic fan, mostly parts II and III.. I've noticed there was supposedly gonna be a port of Heroes of Might and Magic III to the dreamcast. Most stuff points towards it being cancelled. Can you confirm this? :) Anyway interesting list :)
Hi Daniel! All I know about Heroes of Might and Magic on Dreamcast is that it supposedly got a pre-release (same as games like Half-Life) but was cancelled, but I've never come across a copy or repro of it. Not much info, I know, but I can confirm that it was cancelled. Thanks for watching!
Thanks! So pre-releases, like a trial version of the game that could be given away for promotion? If there were pre-releases for it, it would have been really cool to find one. I guess it should be expensive though, kinda like a test press from a band :)
TheDanielradio Pretty much, yes. I'm sure someone somewhere owns one, but I guess it's up to the owner whether or not they want to release the ISO for people to play.
So I have been looking for a color of taxi 2 and all that comes up on eBay is crazy taxi? Do you know how much a pal version is? Also is it fun? Look cool to me.
Taxi 2 is a funny one as it's super expensive (£70-80 which is roughly $90-100) but I have seen them go for as little as £25. I paid £40. And no, it's shit hahaha!
Very cool collection mate. I started collecting for it close to two years now. I'm past the halfway point. Loved the console as a kid. Starting collecting it late 2014 and that's when i found out doing my research there was a whole retro gaming collector community out there. I never knew. Just thought it was me. I hope to get a full set someday. Keep dreaming bro!
Thanks Adam! Funny isn't it, I was the same as I was really into collecting retro games and never realised that there was this huge community out there. I started watching CZcams videos of collectors and just wanted to get involved, and so glad I did. I've met so many great people since starting my channel, it's been beyond all expectations. Good luck with your full set mate, you'll get there eventually. Is it a PAL set you're going for?
Yeh it's PAL. I'm from the UK. I started first collecting the games i used to have like shen mue , powerstone etc. It's great discovering other little gems like pen pen and headhunter. I never tried back in the day.
adam parker Yeah, it's awesome. Games like Project Justice and Cannon Spike are a treat to pla,y as I never even saw them back in the day. The shooters too. You should pop over to the Galaxy Sega Facebook page (if you're not already on there), as people are often selling Dreamcast games at good prices.
I am new to Dreamcast, but just recently brought a mint boxed was sealed DC for £100 with two VDU and controllers from a independent game shop closing down, I got it cheap because I dam near lived their after school, now on the look out for good game's and unusual one's too since Dreamcast had a load of interesting titles. any heads up is a help since I was sega till PlayStation 1, I think I missed out.
Awesome, the Dreamcast has a great library that I hope you'll enjoy. Games I'd really recommend are Marvel vs Capcom and MvC 2, Soul Calibur, Crazy Taxi, Power Stone and Power Stone 2, Capcom vs SNK. All great games for not too much money. Project Justice and Cannon Spike are awesome too, but quite pricey, and there are some fantastic import only titles.
+Anthony Anthony Hahaha, fair enough. "All day long" is more of a phrase that means very often. There are 4 that have sold on eBay in the last two months under £70, so what I'm saying is that they're not as rare as people like to think.
Awesome video and helpful! Ive been looking for a list of pal games that did not come out in america! Thank you! Also How much is 70 quid in us bucks? I have been trying to track down cannon spike forever but always so expensive.
Thanks very much! £70 is about $90 at the moment (the exchange rate is very low right now, so usually it would be over $100). Cannon Spike is awesome, one of the pricier games that's actually worth playing.
5:06 you can get sega bass fishing on it's own though so why do you need the boxed version with the fishing rod? i tend to stay away from versions with accessoriesas ts looks untidy next to a perfect . however if sega bass fishing and samba amigo were only released in the boxsets i have to get them
For the sake of completion. If someone wants a full set, then they need the Bass Fishing boxset. There are four boxsets altogether (Bass Fishing, Samba, House of the Dead, and Planet Ring), but only Samba wasn't released separately.
@@onaretrotip I thought about it and decided to get them currently trying to get 2 of them, used my cex voucher on bass fishing and rod boxed hopefully it comes near mint and Selling things on eBay to go for the £150 samba and maracas currently on eBay. Is the big box planet ring hard to find?
Oh, nice one! Bass Fishing is a dog to find these days, but keep trying Cex and you might get lucky with the correct one. No, the Planet Ring box is pretty common actually. It comes with a microphone. There are a few on eBay right now. One is £20 without the mic, so it might be an idea to grab that and buy the mic separately? If you're on Facebook, join our group Galaxy Sega, as people always sell Dreamcast stuff on there. facebook.com/groups/973870729291302/
@@onaretrotip the cex bass fishing didn't come with any box the game was classed as boxed with a unboxed rod, it went back. I'm on galaxy sega on Facebook it's a great group you may of seen my post on there last week getting Moho, house of the dead 2 big box and planet ring big box in the post. I just need bass fishing as far as big box games go, your right it's a pain to get only 1 on eBay currently is a very beat up 1 in Australia
Shenmue 2 sealed is where the money is at. That will stand as the most sought after Dreamcast game and collectors of all sorts are trying hard to get their hands on a sealed pal copy of Shenmue 2, some titles are rarer but Shenmue 2 sealed is the showpiece for any collection.
onaretrotip People who care for sealed product are not interested on the gaming side or game and collect. A sealed game will still sell for me because it is proof that it has been unplayed in addition to that was how it came out of the factory.
Robert Comelli I had probably 30 sealed games, but then when I decided to go for the full set I sold most of them to fund it. The Shenmues are a tricky one as their seals didn't have tear strips, so got to be wary of reseals.
onaretrotip I was thinking of putting a video up on youtube showing collectors and buyers of the Shenmue slipcase seal. Mine is authentic because it has stickers on the front, which deems it was bought at the store on release not a 'Japan Import' on it when it was bought and a few other small little things about the plastic and presentation.
Good list. Luckily I bought them all when they were new(ish) and even though some were hard to find, I never had to pay much (except for Samba). I had the most trouble finding Evolution 2 and Moho back in the day. Completed my PAL set in 2004 or so.
Thanks Casper! Wow, that's awesome mate, I wish I'd done it back then. Funnily enough the last two I got were Evolution 2 and MoHo! It wasn't particularly hard finding them, it was finding them at a reasonable price. I guess if you had trouble finding them back then, that explains why they command such high prices now.
It probably was a big flop. Same goes for some Saturn games. I still need five to complete my PAL Saturn set. Mega Man X3 is one of them. Big flop, several friends saw it for around 20 guilders (10 euros) back in the day. Now it goes for over 200 euros.
Yeah, it's an awful game. Well, Taxi 2 is the game of the film 'Taxi 2' rather than being the sequel to the game Taxi, if that makes sense? There may be a game based on the original Taxi, but if there is then I'm not aware of it, and certainly not on any Sega consoles.
always laughing at people thinking they actually save money by waiting and searching for months and months to get a game like 30 euros cheaper. well time is money and I much rather save time (and money) and buy stuff then having to spend time searching all over the place for months.
I agree entirely, unless it's a hobby, which game collecting is. And searching around for stuff is part of the fun. I usually outsource anything that I can pay someone to do for less than what I earn an hour, but when it comes to collecting I really enjoy "the hunt". I could have bought the entire PAL set in practically a few days, as they were all readily available, but where's the fun in that? And to be honest, it's not like we're talking 30 Euros here, I paid around £1000 for the full set through these means (searching for deals, and wheeling and dealing), and now, two years later, it's worth almost £4400. I get what you're saying though; to each his own I guess.
It's painful here. I was lucky to get one under £100, at the time they were consistently selling for £120-130. I've seen a few recently go for £150-180 (about $195-235) which is insane!
Paul Shaw No, the graphics are generally the same across all regions, although PAL games run at 50Hz and NTSC run at 60Hz. However, most PAL Dreamcast games also had a 60Hz option for TVs that supported it, so really no difference.
Just realised I misplaced the title for Bass Fishing, so apologies for that.
onaretrotip i have bass fishing
is too late to comment this, but Project Justice is a fighting game a 3D fighting game, not a beat'em up, they are different
Never too late! Oh, did I say "beat 'em up" in the video? Whoops!
onaretrotip yeah a little mistake, but it doesn't matter it help me to know more about Dreamcast expensive games
Thanks, man!
So glad I bought all my games during fire sales in 2002-2003. Most of these were only a few quid sealed back then. Sega Bass fishing was only sold with the fishing controller online in the UK (which is why it's so rare). The online store was only accessible via the Dreamcast browser. There was a few other things that were online exclusive for the UK, including the PAL Coloured controllers (orange, yellow, green and blue) and the Sonic Adventure 2 Anniversary edition. I remember trying to purchase that with the 33k modem and it sold out in about 2 minutes.
Haha, I had no idea it was only available through the browser! Good info.
Haven't watched ten seconds of the video, and already know from the title that the PAL region Shenmue II is definitely gonna be on this list.
Only just, at number ten. Don’t think it would be top ten now though!
You need a full pal GameCube set now ! I have a complete dreamcast and gamecube ntsc set and I'm trying for a complete ps1 and ps2 ntsc set and since the are the number 1 and 2 largest console game sets its going to be tough !
Haha. No full sets for me, it's not something I really think is worth doing. Doing the Dreamcast set was fun, but I have no desire to do anymore. PS2 set is insanely big, dude!
I snagged a dreamcast at a booty last year and that is one game I would seriously think about buying
Moho right now is on eBay for £298
Jesus. Terrible game.
As a man who doesn't have unlimited money, the video is much appreciated.
The only games on your list that are still on my list of Dreamcast games are Evolution 2 and Cannon Spike... and I am not looking forward to the hunt for affordable copies of them either =/
Thanks Wayne, I was hoping that it would be useful to some people. Sadly the two you've mentioned don't pop up often, but frequent searches to yield results. Since doing this vid I've seen Evo 2 sell (bundled with Evolution) for £80, think it was from Germany.
Balls, that was a great price... I'll have to keep my eyes peeled and hunker down for the waiting game.
Another great video Pete.
It goes to show that although the dc is still the cheapest system to collect for, a lot of the prices have went up
Apart from sambi (which hasn't really changed price) The most expensive game when I was collecting was rez at 35quid.
A dc hidden gems vid would be cool too. I did one 3years ago(a very basic vid) but it would be cool to see what games have gotten more popular over the years.
+markhorsburgh Thanks Mark. Most expensive Rez at £35! Jesus. The Dreamcast is definitely a relatively cheap console to collect for, no really big prices. I'll have a think on a hidden gems vid.
About 5 -6 years ago a used DC with a controller and often VMU included sold at shops for $20(USD) in perfect working order. Now I cannot locate a used console (only) for under $100, typically $180! Some want even more! Thankfully I knew my original wouldn’t last forever and had the foresight to buy a couple more for $20-25 and blessed to be given my brother’s for free! If SEGA would by miracle release a “Dreamcast Classic Mini” as they did with the Mega Drive/Genesis and retain optical disc use my problems would be solved! But not expecting it to happen (though if they combined a SEGA CD, Saturn and Dreamcast into one Classic machine capable of playing virtually all games (a cart slot for for older machines would be cheap), they would sell 100 million by Noon and be the first vintage company to run their entire library (32xCD included, cuz why not?). It would be historic!
@@onaretrotip Marvel Vs Capcom 2 is the most expensive used game I know of, selling for $300 easily. The one used sSaturn Panzer Dragoon Saga I’ve seen for sale in a shop is $1,400.00(USD). It sold within a workday.
@@sideswipe1261 Even now, the PAL versions are nowhere near those prices. MvC 2 selling for £60-70 ($82-95) and Panzer Dragoon Saga for £500 ($680).
Enjoyable video mate, is Evolution 2 worth buying?
Cheers Stew! It's definitely got some good things going for it. The character design and graphics are fantastic, but it can get a bit repetitive gameplay wise. Considering the lack of RPGs on the system I'd say it's definitely worth picking up for serious RPG fans, but doesn't warrant the high price tag.
Awesome video. Really interesting + great tips! :-)
I haven't built my Dreamcast collection beyond the games I originally had for it when it used to be the current generation of consoles. Sold a lot which sucks, but hope to build up my collection for it again one day in the future :-)
+MyGamerXP Thanks! I never had one myself back when it was current gen, but my flatmate had one and we loved it. Soul Calibur, Power Stone, Crazy Taxi... good times!
Great video. Really interesting. Would be good to do another video in a couple of years time looking at how the prices have gone up or down and if any game has managed to break into the top ten.
+Let's Talk Retro Thanks! Definitely, I bet there'll be some surprises!
@let's Talk Retro its been 2 years. prices for pretty much all of these have gone up except for shenmue 2, taxi 2 has increased alittle.
i cant believe sega bass fishing complete in box is so expensive. one of my favorite DC games and.... FISH!!!!!
+Scott's Game Reviews SGR Haha, tell me about it. You can buy the game for a fiver, and the regular blue/white boxed rod isn't too expensive, so you're basically paying for the Bass Fishing sleeve.
Good guide, and we'll done on the full library mate. These are cheap prices compared to the rarest GX games, and they don't appear frequently either. Up to 500 quid in some sales.
+Novabug Cheers Chris. Yeah, the Dreamcast is cheap to collect for definitely. It's funny that the GX only has 26 games (is it 26?) but they're so much more expensive.
correct. Much less made mate, that's why.
Novabug Yeah exactly. I bet some of the games sold very few copies too.
It's good that you get a little fluctuation with the value of dreamcast games, you stand a better chance of getting a deal, instead of the unbelievable price spikes on some other older systems.
+Mongoose On A Unicycle Definitely. Many Dreamcast game prices are still rising, but they won't reach the silly prices that some Mega Drive or SNES games have hit. I mean who has the cash lying around to spunk a grand on a game ffs?
+onaretrotip You can't really justify paying that kind of stupid money for a game I'll go 60 max unless it's in a bundle I feel the kind of collectors who throw money at everything can't value their collection as much as people who have spent hours searching or miles traveling on the hunt for sensible deals, ultimately it's these kind of collectors that get bored and move on to something else, simply because they have invested money, but not the time to source the games they own.
Mongoose On A Unicycle Exactly, the fun's in the hunt. Where's the fun in going straight to eBay and paying top whack?
I love how every CZcamsr that has a complete set, or all the rare Dreamcast games managed to buy EVERY SINGLE GAME at a great price, and a lot less than what people tend to sell them for. Come on guy, you didn't get EVERY SINGLE GAME dirt cheap.
I can guarantee you that I paid under the going rate for every single game in the full Dreamcast set, thanks to some wheeling and dealing and patience. I didn't get them dirt cheap by any means. Many on this list I got for nothing or very very cheap (like Project Justice, Taxi 2, Samba de Amigo, Bass Fishing). But other games I paid a lot for. For example, I paid about £55 for MoHo, £70 for Cannon Spike, and £95 for Evolution 2. Way under the going rates, but not "dirt cheap" by any means.
So, I absolutely did get every game at a great price, fact. But I did not get every game dirt cheap.
Cool video! Really wish we had got the actual DC releases of Rez and Shenmue 2 in the states. It's nice we got the chance to play them on other systems but it's not the same as experiencing them on the intended hardware.
+Vidja Gamer Yeah that's a shame, I always wondered why Rez didn't make it to American shores.
Ouch i never knew taxi 2 went for that much! Nice to see an overlook of it! Great video :)
+Game Therapy Yeah, it's a pain as it isn't a great game. Thanks!
I own them all, I have a complete PAL DC collection & another DC collection of about 3rd complete of only factory sealed titles..I am actually thinking about selling my collection (with lots of cool DC extras,) for the right price, I just don't have the room anymore,
Nice! Yeah the full set does take up a bit of space. Will you be selling as a set or in bits? You should head over to the Galaxy Sega Facebook page, there's always interest in DC there, and a few guys are going for full sets.
onaretrotip
thanks for the info, I will take a look..
I have a question, does a French DREAMCAST console only work with French games? Or a French dreamcast console can play games from uk, spain, italy?
A French Dreamcast is PAL, so will play any PAL games (the whole of Europe, and Australia). So yes, any games from UK/Spain?Italy will work. You can also play import games from North America and Asia, but you'll need a boot disc.
Excellent vídeo Pete.... Evil Twin & Rival Schools 2 are on my want list. I have the PS2 version of Evil Twin but 1st played it on the Dreamcast & I actually prefer it on the DC... goes for a fair bit these days unlike the PS2 version which can be bought for under a tenner. :)
+1msx2go Thanks John! Rival Scholls 2 is such a fantastic game, I was really into Street Fighter EX + Alpha in my teens and it's very similar. Yes, I've seen the PS2 version of Evil Twin fairly often for about a fiver, which makes it even more painful. Luckily I got it free in a bundle.
I didn't realize any of the NFL QB club games made it to PAL areas.
+Last Call Games Yeah, I guess with the absence of EA sports titles they released some games that might not have otherwise made it to Europe.
Nice to see what the general prices are for the most expensive games on the system. At least there aren't any silly ones that cost an absolute bomb. Ace overview buddy :-)
+SoulFunkRetro Thanks Matt! Yeah, it's pretty cheap to collect for and like you say no hugely costly games.
Recently bought a Dreamcast on eBay. Currently playing Shadow Man, still awesome after all these year's. Yeah, i noticed Taxi 2 currently going for around £70. My reaction was to laught and say get the fuck out of here 😂
Awesome! Hahaha, yes, that's the appropriate reaction. Taxi 2 is certainly not worth the asking price.
In the grand scheme of things the Dreamcast is pretty cheap to collect for. Nice overview Pete.
+Champion 2D Rob Definitely very cheap relative to other systems. Thanks Rob!
Just to make you weep a bit, I found my mint condition copy of Moho for 99p in a cash generator a couple of years ago :D
Bloody hell, lucky find! I can't complain as I got a lot of the big hitters for nothing (in bundles), but I did cringe paying so much for MoHo as it's shit.
onaretrotip Yeah man, looking back I'm so damn happy I picked it up for pennies. At the time I was just starting to add to my original Dreamcast collection from back in the day and didn't really know everything value wise. Had a choice of a few games and I only picked it up because I'd never heard of it.. glad I did, now knowing how expensive and shit it is!
Yeah, I'll bet!
Very informative Pete cheers. Be interesting to watch this vid in 2-3 years time ;)
+BASS INVADER * Cheers Luke. Yes mate, will be very interesting!
Hi mate!, great video, i would like to know how much cost estimate you spent to get a full DC set ... cheers.
Taxi 2 is more over £100 on ebay. Those prices are way too high and unfortunately CEX are adjusting to them.
Yes, they are, sadly.
@@onaretrotip I'll never sell them my GC collection because I'll get a couple of pounds for games they're selling at 15 to £20. The price gap is too large for me.
@@pferreira1983 Fair enough.
man i didnt know evolution 2 was that rare. great video man. i subbed to you
It's not rare compared to 'rare' games for other systems but it's certainly rare in Dreamcast terms, and very pricey. Thanks mate, much appreciated!
What do you reckon a complete PAL set is worth now? Some of these are way more expensive since this was posted.
I'm not sure to be honest as I don't keep up with most of the prices. Definitely a lot more than when I made this video!
Top vid mate really good tips you shared there. Im hoping the prices will start to steady out about but can't see that happening for a while. Love the dreamcast , I don't have huge collection but when I started a while back now was so much easier and cheaper. Great vid buddy and have a good week.
+Gamer Geek World Thanks mate. I think that they'll rise for a while still as the people who had them as kids are now at the age where they have disposable income, and that's when console game prices rise, but will probably plateau. Have a great week too!
you forgot the dreamkey 3.1 that only released in portugal and spain.
spanish edition: 200€
portuguese edition: 350€
Not a game though.
Interesting video mate. Dreamcast is a cracking system. Must be awesome to have the full set.
+16-Bit Luke Cheers Luke! Yeah, it's awesome to have finally done it.
What’s a “quid” and do they swim? (Icebreaker). I’m very new to PAL, as I live in the States. One question I’ve had for a long time is why did the region choose PAL? That’s 10HZ/FPS lower than the 60 I’m used to. Did PAL simply come out sooner and became the default, or are there other reasons or advantages to it VS NTSC/60HZ? Saving a sliver of power, perhaps?
Great video! Dreamcast is my all time favorite system! I’m currently building one and a 17” flatscreen PC monitor into a suitcase (using the VGA-Cable) for rainy days on vacation, and just to originate, design and successfully complete a project born solely of my own mind and design (we all need accomplishments to be proud of, and once assembled I’ll know I conceived and completed it on my own as well as having a portable that beats the living snot out of anything else on the market, full of surprises I’m not ready to reveal! :)
My only concern is that partially due to my being silly and partially due to my 4 Dreamcasts being 22 years old, 3 of the 4 Dreamcasts are now finicky when it comes to reading discs. This is due to the tiny laser-calibration screw being nudged or bumped 1/16th” in either direction being able to prevent discs from being read and played at all, OR, when set said 1/16th” in the right direction, having an absolutely pristine image and flawless gameplay. I have no interest in replacing my optical drives with a GD-EMU. My games are on disc and I’m not going to convert them all to SD Card format nor download images illegally. I also love the loud sound of a proper DC spinning. Have you any tips on setting the calibration screws just right and locking them into place? Or am I better off trying to find a real repair shop with guaranteed work or buying replacement GD-ROM drives? Any help would be massively appreciated! Thank you and take care!
I think PAL vs NTSC was for several reasons, one being differences in power, and PAL was supposed to be newer (improved) technology. You'd have to research it as I'm no expert.
I don't really know much about hardware mods either I'm afraid, I always get other people to do them for me. I have a GDEMU Dreamcast which is awesome, but I kept a standard unmodded one too for my disc games.
In the 1950s, the Western European countries began plans to introduce colour television, and were faced with the problem that the NTSC standard demonstrated several weaknesses, including colour tone shifting under poor transmission conditions, which became a major issue considering Europe's geographical and weather-related particularities. To overcome NTSC's shortcomings, alternative standards were devised, resulting in the development of the PAL and SECAM standards. The goal was to provide a colour TV standard for the European picture frequency of 50 fields per second (50 hertz), and finding a way to eliminate the problems with NTSC.
Just to add as well pal does run at a higher resolution than NTSC but unfortunately due to poor conversions our games were squished due to the resolution not being used..
Thank god 70% of pal dreamcast games support pal 60hz :D
Now days it's a moot point thanks to hdmi and modern displays
But back then Jesus did we get screwed in the Pal region up until the Xbox 360 and PS3
And a "quid" Is UK slang for a £1 coin
@@HollowRick PAL is better in everyway imo, Only downside is the 50hz for gaming as 50hz for tv shows and movies didn't effect it they were filmed for 24fps while NTSC had lot of ghosting since it forced shows and movies to 30fps. Anyway PAL has higher resolution and better colours over NTSC and the 50hz problem got solved in the 90s with 60hz PAL tvs it's just not any of the consoles support it until the Dreamcast and even then like you said there was still a lot of games that were just 50hz.
Nice video mate. I'd be really interested to see another vid of rarest PAL games sealed and estimates on those
Thanks, Glen! I don't really know much about the sealed games, and they're quite hard to price as there one of those 'worth what someone is willing to pay' things I think.
I was going to get Shenmue II for my Dreamcast two years ago but because of how expensive it is for the Dreamcast, I decided to buy the Xbox version since that version is cheaper, I'd love to have the Dreamcast version as well though, since that is the original version. Nice big collection of Dreamcast games by the way, I spotted a few games that I have for my Dreamcast.
+Initial Dale Thanks mate! Yeah, the Dreamcast version of Shenmue II is very nice but it makes sense to play the XBOX version financially. I've never actually played the XBOX version, it is more or less the same?
+onaretrotip Yeah most of it is pretty much the same, only it has English voices unlike the Dreamcast version which has Japanese voices.
glad i still have my original shenmue 2 copy, random question but other than Seaman are there any other Virtual pet type games for Dreamcast. I think i have evolution 1 or 2 but without case. great video :)
+Odd pod Thanks dude! I'm not sure if there are any other virtual pet games. If there are, they're Japanese only.
onaretrotip okay thanks :)
Great vid mate, don't know to much about dreamcast so always nice to get some info! Rival schools is quality and never heard of cannon spike going to check that out now,
+Retro Heaven Cheers Johnny! Cannon Spike is a unique game for sure and exclusive to the Dreamcast (besides arcade).
I'm watching it on a Tuesday has it gone up yet?
Has what gone up yet? The prices?
You just have to be lucky,I bought my cannon spike and sonic shuffle,both sealed for 10€.
I have the full set as well and very happy with it.
+Nuno Rodrigues Wow, that is lucky! Awesome. Are you going after any other full sets or is it just Dreamcast?
+onaretrotip well,I have 89 neo geo aes,but I don't call myself a collector,more of a gamer that happens to have a some aes games.
Nuno Rodrigues Wow! That's impressive.
great vid pete buddy :) really good info there
+steve36207 Cheers Steve mate!
Floored to see Evolution 2 go for so much. It's a pretty fun game -- average but decent humor -- but that price is nuts! I can't think of any North American release that fetches that amount, taking the exchange rate into account. Cannon Spike, GigaWing 2, and Mars Matrix go for a bit.
+TGApuleius Yeah, Evolution 2 is a crazy price compared to the North American version, that's $140-170 at the current exchange rate (which is actually really low, usually it's $1.70 to a pound and currentl;y it's only $1.40). GigaWing 2 and Mars Matrix are two great shooters that we sadly didn't get in Europe, so I need to pick those up at some point.
I agree that with any game (bar maybe a few) if tou can wait and bide your time you can find an affordable copy. I've found games (not Dreamcast) in countries like Greece and Germany.
+The Highlander Definitely Wouter. It's always worth investing some time and searching around. I had a ton of saved searches and checked them daily, it's amazing what you can save.
great overview pete!
+TootyUk Thanks Stu!
Darn it, I only have two of these, ha ha! Good to know about this stuff sir, very interesting - I knew I should have bought some of these back at the time, my list of gaming regrets has just grown. Great vid though dude!
+Dibbs of the Grig Gaming Thanks mate. Which two do you have out of interest? I know right, I wish I'd cleared out all the gaming stores when they were selling off Dreamcast games for next to nothing. I hear stories of bargain bins in Gamestation selling titles like MoHo for a fiver.
+onaretrotip yeah, I remember something similar with the Saturn. I went into Dixons once and they just seemed to want shot of their Saturn games and they were all about £5. I got a bunch but the one that stands out most now is Burning Rangers as I've seen that at some pretty steep prices. The two DC games I have are Project Justice and Shenmue 2. I got them both new and they're in perfect condition so that's nice - in fact, when I open Shenmue 2 it still has that new game smell about it for some reason! Really wanted Cannon Spike, Rez and Samba De Amigo back at the time. I can't even remember why I didn't get them now, but it was an error, ha ha!
+Dibbs of the Grig Gaming Damn, what a shame. Yeah, Burning Rangers def goes for a few quid these days. A fiver - blimey! At least you have Project Justice and Shenmue II from new, I'm getting well into Project Justice, that's a cracking game.
+onaretrotip it really is! That was one great thing about the DC, Capcom really stepped up to support it and made some great games for it.
The prices tend to fluctuate on a lot of the Dreamcast games. I found Street Fighter Double Impact to be the worst culprit, I grabbed mine for about £25 but there's disc only copies on Ebay for nearly £40??!!??. The PAL Samba definitely commands a larger price than the other 2 regions but I'd still like an american version to complete the set :)
+HoratioVanBasten Yeah the prices are up and down on a few games, it's quite odd sometimes. A few went up during the months that I was collecting them, so I wish I'd done them sooner, MoHo being one example.
Just wish more of the game's were VGA compatible. Just a pain to collect for, recently bought Dino Crisis only to find out it isn't VGA compatible 😞 Also just wondering, is Buggy Heat VGA compatible ? On lists, some say it is and others say it isn't ? Thank you.
Yeah, that can be really inconvenient having to swap the cables. Sadly a few of Capcom's games don't support it. I'm not sure, I'd have to check my copy of Buggy Heat. If you ask over at Galaxy Sega on Facebook someone will know (or I can ask for you).
That was really good sir!
+Matt and Jaelon Thanks Matt!
I've got some work to do. Thanks for the tips!
+Repo Man 360 You'll get there mate! You're welcome.
I need most of these but I do own Number 1 which I only paid £60 for but I'm missing the manual.
+masofbiohaz You'll get there soon enough Chris, you don't have many titles to go now.
Dabbled with getting the full Pal DC collection, years ago, when I had a far greater disposable income, lasted 6 months before I thought sod this and ended up getting shot of an awful lot of dross, was never going to play it.
Yeah, it's pointless really. I managed to get them all very cheap, so when I did sell off a lot of the collection it had all appreciated in value by several thousand. I was the same though; ended up having loads of games sat on the shelf not being played so I decided to move them on.
Heya onaretrotip! I'm a diehard Heroes of Might and Magic fan, mostly parts II and III.. I've noticed there was supposedly gonna be a port of Heroes of Might and Magic III to the dreamcast. Most stuff points towards it being cancelled. Can you confirm this? :) Anyway interesting list :)
Hi Daniel! All I know about Heroes of Might and Magic on Dreamcast is that it supposedly got a pre-release (same as games like Half-Life) but was cancelled, but I've never come across a copy or repro of it. Not much info, I know, but I can confirm that it was cancelled. Thanks for watching!
Thanks! So pre-releases, like a trial version of the game that could be given away for promotion? If there were pre-releases for it, it would have been really cool to find one. I guess it should be expensive though, kinda like a test press from a band :)
TheDanielradio Pretty much, yes. I'm sure someone somewhere owns one, but I guess it's up to the owner whether or not they want to release the ISO for people to play.
So I have been looking for a color of taxi 2 and all that comes up on eBay is crazy taxi? Do you know how much a pal version is? Also is it fun? Look cool to me.
Taxi 2 is a funny one as it's super expensive (£70-80 which is roughly $90-100) but I have seen them go for as little as £25. I paid £40. And no, it's shit hahaha!
Mate cannon spike looks fucking awesome!
+Retro Heaven Yeah it's great! ;)
Very cool collection mate. I started collecting for it close to two years now. I'm past the halfway point. Loved the console as a kid. Starting collecting it late 2014 and that's when i found out doing my research there was a whole retro gaming collector community out there. I never knew. Just thought it was me. I hope to get a full set someday. Keep dreaming bro!
Thanks Adam! Funny isn't it, I was the same as I was really into collecting retro games and never realised that there was this huge community out there. I started watching CZcams videos of collectors and just wanted to get involved, and so glad I did. I've met so many great people since starting my channel, it's been beyond all expectations. Good luck with your full set mate, you'll get there eventually. Is it a PAL set you're going for?
Yeh it's PAL. I'm from the UK. I started first collecting the games i used to have like shen mue , powerstone etc. It's great discovering other little gems like pen pen and headhunter. I never tried back in the day.
adam parker Yeah, it's awesome. Games like Project Justice and Cannon Spike are a treat to pla,y as I never even saw them back in the day. The shooters too. You should pop over to the Galaxy Sega Facebook page (if you're not already on there), as people are often selling Dreamcast games at good prices.
I am new to Dreamcast, but just recently brought a mint boxed was sealed DC for £100 with two VDU and controllers from a independent game shop closing down, I got it cheap because I dam near lived their after school, now on the look out for good game's and unusual one's too since Dreamcast had a load of interesting titles. any heads up is a help since I was sega till PlayStation 1, I think I missed out.
Awesome, the Dreamcast has a great library that I hope you'll enjoy. Games I'd really recommend are Marvel vs Capcom and MvC 2, Soul Calibur, Crazy Taxi, Power Stone and Power Stone 2, Capcom vs SNK. All great games for not too much money. Project Justice and Cannon Spike are awesome too, but quite pricey, and there are some fantastic import only titles.
i have Shenmue 2, Cannon Spike, Evolution 2, fishing rod and samba de amigo of this list... my next one i have to buy is Rez =D
Nice! Got several big hitters out the way then.
Just picked up Taxi 2 Le Jeu for 50 euros. Thanks for the info Pete
+RyoHazuki911 Nice, great price mate. You're very welcome!
Taxi 2 on "Ebay all day long"? "Ton of them on Ebay for £70"? Not very accurate..

Awesome video and helpful! Ive been looking for a list of pal games that did not come out in america! Thank you! Also How much is 70 quid in us bucks? I have been trying to track down cannon spike forever but always so expensive.
Thanks very much! £70 is about $90 at the moment (the exchange rate is very low right now, so usually it would be over $100). Cannon Spike is awesome, one of the pricier games that's actually worth playing.
I love buying from canada since it saves me a bit of money lol. If you find an extra cannon spike I would love to buy it!

5:06 you can get sega bass fishing on it's own though so why do you need the boxed version with the fishing rod? i tend to stay away from versions with accessoriesas ts looks untidy next to a perfect .
however if sega bass fishing and samba amigo were only released in the boxsets i have to get them
For the sake of completion. If someone wants a full set, then they need the Bass Fishing boxset. There are four boxsets altogether (Bass Fishing, Samba, House of the Dead, and Planet Ring), but only Samba wasn't released separately.
@@onaretrotip I thought about it and decided to get them currently trying to get 2 of them, used my cex voucher on bass fishing and rod boxed hopefully it comes near mint and Selling things on eBay to go for the £150 samba and maracas currently on eBay.
Is the big box planet ring hard to find?
Oh, nice one! Bass Fishing is a dog to find these days, but keep trying Cex and you might get lucky with the correct one. No, the Planet Ring box is pretty common actually. It comes with a microphone.
There are a few on eBay right now. One is £20 without the mic, so it might be an idea to grab that and buy the mic separately?
If you're on Facebook, join our group Galaxy Sega, as people always sell Dreamcast stuff on there.

@@onaretrotip the cex bass fishing didn't come with any box the game was classed as boxed with a unboxed rod, it went back.

I'd say it's zero risk to be honest. If it turns up in good condition, great! If not, you can always take it back for a refund.
Great vid pete! Even though I don't collect for the DC aim sure this will help loads if people out!
+GRUSS Newton Cheers Russ! I hope so.
You should really update this... DC costs so much money to collect for nowadays lmao
I'm long out of the Dreamcast collecting scene now, apart from buying the new indie games. Glad I did it all cheap before everything went insane.
Shenmue 2 sealed is where the money is at. That will stand as the most sought after Dreamcast game and collectors of all sorts are trying hard to get their hands on a sealed pal copy of Shenmue 2, some titles are rarer but Shenmue 2 sealed is the showpiece for any collection.
I think that depends on the collector as only a small fraction of collectors actually covet sealed games.
onaretrotip People who care for sealed product are not interested on the gaming side or game and collect. A sealed game will still sell for me because it is proof that it has been unplayed in addition to that was how it came out of the factory.
Robert Comelli I had probably 30 sealed games, but then when I decided to go for the full set I sold most of them to fund it. The Shenmues are a tricky one as their seals didn't have tear strips, so got to be wary of reseals.
onaretrotip I was thinking of putting a video up on youtube showing collectors and buyers of the Shenmue slipcase seal. Mine is authentic because it has stickers on the front, which deems it was bought at the store on release not a 'Japan Import' on it when it was bought and a few other small little things about the plastic and presentation.
Robert Comelli Good idea!
Good list. Luckily I bought them all when they were new(ish) and even though some were hard to find, I never had to pay much (except for Samba). I had the most trouble finding Evolution 2 and Moho back in the day. Completed my PAL set in 2004 or so.
Thanks Casper! Wow, that's awesome mate, I wish I'd done it back then. Funnily enough the last two I got were Evolution 2 and MoHo! It wasn't particularly hard finding them, it was finding them at a reasonable price. I guess if you had trouble finding them back then, that explains why they command such high prices now.
Evolution 2 was almost nowhere to be found when it was released... Bought all five Big Ben titles at release. They were all budget games back then.
Casper Egas I hear stories about copies of MoHo in £5 bargain bins that make me weep.
It probably was a big flop. Same goes for some Saturn games. I still need five to complete my PAL Saturn set. Mega Man X3 is one of them. Big flop, several friends saw it for around 20 guilders (10 euros) back in the day. Now it goes for over 200 euros.
Casper Egas Ouch!
I burnt Taxi 2 and it was hardly enjoyable .. so how's Taxi 1 ? Such a thing ?
Yeah, it's an awful game. Well, Taxi 2 is the game of the film 'Taxi 2' rather than being the sequel to the game Taxi, if that makes sense? There may be a game based on the original Taxi, but if there is then I'm not aware of it, and certainly not on any Sega consoles.
the most expensive is Flintstones Viva Rock Vegas PAL White Label
Not an official release, obviously.
always laughing at people thinking they actually save money by waiting and searching for months and months to get a game like 30 euros cheaper. well time is money and I much rather save time (and money) and buy stuff then having to spend time searching all over the place for months.
I agree entirely, unless it's a hobby, which game collecting is. And searching around for stuff is part of the fun. I usually outsource anything that I can pay someone to do for less than what I earn an hour, but when it comes to collecting I really enjoy "the hunt". I could have bought the entire PAL set in practically a few days, as they were all readily available, but where's the fun in that? And to be honest, it's not like we're talking 30 Euros here, I paid around £1000 for the full set through these means (searching for deals, and wheeling and dealing), and now, two years later, it's worth almost £4400. I get what you're saying though; to each his own I guess.
evelution 2 is so much cheaper in usa
It's painful here. I was lucky to get one under £100, at the time they were consistently selling for £120-130. I've seen a few recently go for £150-180 (about $195-235) which is insane!
Holy shit man. There 20 bucks here. Although we did not get rez and cannon spike is so much more expensive here.
Retro Alliance Gaming I know, so expensive!
Taxi 2... a crap game but sooooo expensive...
+darksynbios .I. Unfortunately, yes.
What is the difference between pal DC and regular dc ?? Pal. DC have games that the regular dc can't play somebody explain ? Lol
Paul Shaw PAL is the region (Europe and Australia), same for games and DVDs, etc. NTSC-U is North America and NTSC-J is Japan.
Does the graphics look better ?
Nice collection by the way .. bro
Paul Shaw No, the graphics are generally the same across all regions, although PAL games run at 50Hz and NTSC run at 60Hz. However, most PAL Dreamcast games also had a 60Hz option for TVs that supported it, so really no difference.
Paul Shaw Thanks mate!
