Game Bargain of the Century

[MrMatthews]

Now the real issue arises. MrMatthrews is a fan of triple penetration, and softcore non-nudes just don't do anything for him.

Rusty is taking a shot at me (it's Matthews, by the way - no "r"), but he's right. Years of pornography have dulled my imagination to a point where if I don't actually see a chick in a sexual situation, I don't think of her that way.

My nerdy friends were always trying to make defintive lists of their all-time hottest celebrities. They were picking actresses like Natalie Portman and Famke Jansen; all I could think of were porn starlets.

*weeps silently*

The "r" was just an extra dash of indignity.

I was digging through a bunch of my old recorded video cassettes from the past 5 years and I stumbled upon a "Munn Goldmine" that I thought was lost. I thought this particular tape was disposed of before we left England.

That was awesome! 00:47 owned

I see in the video there is one of those red snakes that looks like the really deadly one.

I have a dreamcast with about 60 games. and I love it (right next to my genesis) but I won't lie, it is overrated and praised to high heaven a bit to much.

[Rusty Venture]

I have a *MASSIVE* 4 games for DC.

The only reason I keep it is because "Power Stone 2" is totally jawusum.

[MrMatthews]

I hardly ever play my DC, but I keep buying games for it because . . . well, I keep finding them. I have 14 games so far, and I've only played two or three.

I think it's praised the same way the Genesis is praised: it was waaaay too overlooked in its heyday and it deserves some god damn respect. I mean, look at an N64 or PSX game from 99-01 and compare it to the DC, there is no comparison. Anything that came out across all 3 platforms was light years better on the DC. Tony Hawk 2 is still my favorite iteration of the game, and guess which system had the best version? exactly.

More importantly, it's just the value of the damn thing. If you're not against burning games, it just takes $20 to do anything you could possibly want to do with it (ok, maybe $30-$40 if you want 4 controllers and a smattering of VMUs), there isn't another system out there that offers so much for so little. Not only are the regular DC games great, but a large chunk of the Neo CD and MVS/AES games are available thanks to Neo4All along side some great NES and SMS/GG emulators and even some of the older MAME games will play on it. If you don't have a computer in a cable's distance of your TV, the DC is by far the easiest way to do all of this. In some ways, I even like it better than a modded XBOX because you can't brick it by accidentally deleting system files when trying to clean up your hard disk nor do you have to add ROMs to discs yourself. People simply upload pre-made discs with all ROMs worth playing and you can just download that after the dirty work has been done.

So, it's not really that people are claiming the Dreamcast is the end-all beat-all system, but damn if it isn't the best bang for the buck when all capabilities are considered.

while we're discussing the Dreamcast, is there a way to procure VMU saves and burn them via diskjuggler to transfer them to a VMU? I ask this because I got a copy of Segagaga and there's no way I'll ever get through the RPG portion in Japanese, but I want to play the shooter part. I figure if I get a save, I'll be able to play the awesome level featuring all of Sega's consoles as bosses.

Help me Christuserloeser-Wan Kenobi, you're our only hope.

There's a version on Marvel vs. Capcom 2 out there that someone made that you can burn and it transfers the 100% save file to your memory card when you put it into your dreamcast so it can definitely be done. I've never seen it for anything outside of MvC 2 though.

Are you refering to the Toodles Capcom Fighter disc? Yeah, that's how I knew it was possible. I'm downloading Dream Explorer and it's supposed to be like a VMU mega tool, it can even unlock an extra 44 blocks!

check it out:

BTW, this is a homebrew app, there are no copyrights being violated by downloading the file.


I have another question too, though: can anyone recommend a 2X/4X/8X/etc. VMU for Dreamcast? I have 4 normal VMUs right now, so I'd just like a larger VMU minus the screen that I could pile saves on for games I'm not necessarily playing at the moment. Then again, if VMU Tool holds it down like I'm hoping, I may not need a save on most games because I can just use the level select to pick up where I left off.

So that's a computer program that lets you mess around with your VMU? Am I understanding that correctly? How do you connect the VMU to your computer?

no, it's a .cdi you burn with discjuggler and use on your Dreamcast. (as I understand it) You simply plug in a VMU to your controller and turn on the DC with the disc inside, then you select a VMU save and it loads it to the VMU. I just hope that Segagaga save is on there...and I can figure out how the fuck to get to that shooter part of the level (DAMN YOU JAPANESE CHARACTERS!!!!)
