regemond Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Do it. Give in to the me-shaped devil on your shoulder. Allow your impulsive side to take over. Get the Dreamcast. You won't regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one-armed dwarf Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Well I am not a mortal nemesis of nobody, so I would recommend this listing instead. Very high seller rating, higher than the dreamcast guy https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/315314329904?itmmeta=01HW5GKDJ1YZGF7CBFW8C0RWY4&hash=item496a32d930:g:fGwAAOSw0hxmIntS&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4D8wCaijYinu3hgxld8fpNbsJE5RqkykdTGMDDQX%2FwOYEluT6Pk8QYRAKGUvT8UCJabCMBVIEMWZGZXYTqw1BQuA79%2Fz7GWzCg8DdlexmsOiVW2dJ76e5JojPRd2lkMQP91j%2FYMY5WhqAQYcAteTex5SjoLLGq59SSig%2ByrZ0C3UJKk7D6NjqOTz2s20t8mmPRmYvCgD8MPS2BQsrcydC5b6gldbmcMLhcSiB08XIpUHkuKiMwW7SnAQi1sC9VeyZEr7zWO87Q2lRDQDdc2lDVFpkPazSCdNA3cKI9cVvu8M|tkp%3ABk9SR7DZzbDhYw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 A friend of mine had a Jaguar when I was a kid and the only game I ever played on it was a Bubsy game I think it’s fair to say it didn’t sell me on the system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 You never really know what you get with these things but based on the pictures, the console seems in pristine condition so at least on surface level you could make the assumption that the guy takes care of his stuff and that the modding work is similarly clean. Would I bet 200 bucks on it though? Not sure. But I'm also not big into the modding stuff anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 200 is chump change for @Maf though... especially with all that money he's been embezzling by doing the bank run on his own for months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 It’s not embezzlement. I just authorised the decision to give myself performance based bonus for the brilliant service I provide at work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maf Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Firstly, I’m sure it’s not only me that considers you a mortal nemesis Secondly, you are not my only mortal nemesis, so don’t think too highly of yourself You are on the list alongside one of my next door neighbours, a dog I know, Mr Motivator, and anyone who rides a moped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regemond Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 That's a pretty short list considering how insufferable you are, to be fair... Although point 1 is probably right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regemond Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 @Maf did you cave and buy it or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 No, not yet. Not sure what the upside to this as oppose to just emulating. I guess the fun of playing it on “original” hardware. But is that worth £220? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 To me it's like the difference between seeing a film in the cinema or on blu ray versus streaming. It's kinda a question for the purists of the medium, really. The difference is probably not that worth it, unless you really care deeply about seeing these games in their proper resolution, displayed on their proper screen technology and keeping all of their hardware-specific qualities and imperfections. Like I play a lot of PS2 games on an emulator with CRT shaders. But it's not the same, really, and sometimes it takes you out of it when a sound effects is wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Late to this conversation (and the flirtations of Maf and Regemond), but to throw my hat into the ring: Don't bother. 1. £220 doesn't even get you at least one controller now? 2. The Dreamcast controllers are horrendous (especially the D-Pad) 3. Do yourself a favour and emulate instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
