    Yes I do. My favourite ever games was on it; Shenmue and Grandia 2. Shame Sega couldn't run a paper shop let alone a hardware business. The DC could of been great for its time.

    Started talking to a guy on the Dreamcast Chatroom, ten years later we're still together with three beautiful children.

    Still got a Dreamcast set up on my HDTV, that, connected via a VGA cable is just brilliant and makes it fit in with the current consoles, something the PS2 couldn't do since only a small part of the library supported Progressive Scan where as nearly all Dreamcast Games supported VGA.

    Soul Calibur still looks and plays awesome, best Arcade port ever.

    Think I might have to plug my Dreamcast in tomorrow after finding this thread. Haven't used it for a while since the honking big PS3 takes up all the space under the TV. Had quite a good collection of games for it too:

    Crazy Taxi
    Virtua Tennis
    Metropolis Street Racer
    Resident Evil Code: Veronica
    Jet Set Radio
    Rayman 2
    Fur Fighters (I loved multiplayer on that game)
    Chu Chu Rocket
    Worms Armageddon

    and not so good...
    Who Wants to be a Millionaire
    Chicken Run

    I also had House of the Dead 2 with 2 guns but sold it last year on ebay as it doesn't work on flatscreen TVs.

    Yep, I think tomorrow seems like a good day for some Dreamcast love.

    I disagree I thought the console had some real classics on it and was first to introduce online gaming.

    I still think the PS2 would have won that war, with games like MGS2 and 3 and of course GTA, but the Dreamcast still had plenty of life in it and was killed too early by SEGA.

    The big developers had no faith in Sega which was one main reason why the console failed. Don't put any blame onto Sony for Sega's failure, it was 100% their own doing.

    If only EA had supported the DC like the PS2. I feel the DC would have run the PS2 very close as it had built in internet with online gaming.
