Exclusives that make a system still worth buying?

can you just play the Japanese import without any modification?

On Dreamcast? No. The system is relatively easy to mod, but I'm allergic to modding, so I use a boot disc. Dreamcast boot discs are very common and available under many different names. You can even make a boot disc by downloading an ISO and burning it to a CD-R, although that will put a bit of strain on the laser. My boot disc of choice is the DC-X.

I use the Utopia boot disc. The iso is easy to find.

I used the Utopia disc originally, but it always sounded like my Dreamcast was struggling. The DC-X seems less of a strain. I think it's printed in some special way -- if you look at the data side of the disc, it looks really weird.

Interesting. I'll have to check it out.

Why play Turtles in Time on the SNES when you can play the same game on Megadrive? I think it was called the TMNT: Manhattan Project

No, it was called "Hyperstone Heist" and Konami did a half-assed job with it.

Why play the half-assed effort when I can play the real thing on SNES?

Yah, I think the Utopia disc fried one of my dreamcast's laser. I have a pirate disc with zero gunner2, ikaruga and a couple other shooters combined, it seems like it kinda strains my system but dammit its worth it.

I have that disc. It kicks ass.
