Forgotten Worlds owns, Shining Force II (can be expensive but is on the Nintendo switch online with the Genesis add on.) the one I always recommend is Faery Tale Adventure.

Mercs is excellent and I doubt a cart only would be all that expensive. I just got Zero Tolerance CIB in the mail today. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it, but it's incredibly impressive for being a FPS on the Genesis. Actually starts out pretty fun, but becomes super difficult and annoying towards the end.

There was a goon who had asked for genesis carts for an art project and then wandered off into the ether. I have NFL Football 94, Pat Riley Basketball, College Football Championship and NBA All Star Challenge as bare carts you can have for straight shipping cost. They are in a padded envelope ready to go if you want them. Just PM me and I will get them in the mail today / tomorrow.

S3+k is worth owning just because sega has retroactively wiped it from existence presumably because of the Jackson estate’s objections.

They released a new version of it a year and a half ago in Sonic Origins. They just cut out the music related to Jackson and reinserted the original tracks that they used in the old PC port.

Having never burned a CD in the past 10 years, I successfully burned a Codebreakers boot disc so I can play my (legit) Japanese copy of Marvel vs Capcom 2 when it comes in the mail soon. With a world of Japanese import Dreamcast gaming at my fingertips, what other imports should I look into tracking down? This includes Japanese versions of American releases (I’m assuming they’re cheaper than the US version nowadays).

Golden Axe - good arcade port Mystic Defender - fun arcadey platformer Thunder Force 2 (and above, but more expensive) Seconding things already mentioned Forgotten Worlds - play 2 player and you basically can't die though

If you can get Super Puzzle Fighter then you've got basically the best puzzle game on the whole system! Bonus points for not needing any Japanese at all to play it! I will say that most of the diamonds on the Dreamcast (for my taste) weren't released here in the States, but there are some that have some fan translations or can be played with machine translation. SGGG is one, Frame Gride, Trizeal, Run-Dim as Black Soul are all bangers

+1 for Frame Gride, played that recently and had a good time with the translated version. I don't believe there are any fan translations out for Segagaga are there? That's one of my Dreamcast white whales, and I don't think a machine translation would do it justice

I don't think there is, sadly--it would be an ENORMOUS ask because it's like, a pure distillation of Japanese y2k Tech/Post-Bubble culture in a way that would be a huge undertaking to localize or translate It rocks though

Segagaga is one of the bigger games that has no translation and I don't think anyone's really made progress on one still. One of the many games I have been slowly learning Japanese for that's on PC-88/98 & Dreamcast/Saturn.

I bought Segagaga for some dumb reason (saw at a local game store in the US) and +1 on wanting translation. It will go well with the shirt and all of the pins and whatnot the box came with. https://www.thedreamcastjunkyard.co.uk/2009/01/segagaga-box-set-inside-out.html

If it helps any other Japanese learners, I test at about N2 or so and did pretty good, likely buoyed by knowing a bit about a lot of the cultural stuff—but it’s also doable slowly with machine translation if you view it less as playing a video game and more like doing a cultural project

I keep regretting not getting a copy a couple years ago, every time I see one now it’s way more than what I want to pay. May just have to suck it up and splurge on that.

Panic! is an all time great Sega cd game. Glad to see someone else has it. You know what would look good next to it? a CIB copy of Final Fight CD... Also I am once again mad at Sega for going away from their clamshell boxes. Cardboard boxes SUCK. Those Neo Geo shock boxes are the hotness though. I only have one MVS cart (but it has 160+ games on it) otter fucked around with this message at 03:51 on Mar 28, 2024 |

Cardboard boxes SUCK. Yea the early Genesis games are probably my favorite video game box and art design. Even the red spine/cover clam shells don't really look as good imo. I haven't picked it up yet, but I think the only cardboard game I plan on buying is X-Men 2.

I got mine after about a year of DC ownership and it definitely added a lot, since I'm so used to it on PS systems. For being an aftermarket item, nearly every game seems to have support, which is nice. I got an official one at a discount when my local retro game store was shutting down, so can't weigh in on official vs. third party. Don't think I can ever go back to rumble-free Crazy Taxi in this lifetime, though.

Anyone have any experience burning .mds/.mdf files to make a usable Saturn disc? I don't have much experience burning CDs/DVDs to begin with, but it looks like you can't just burn'em and play'em like you can an .iso for some other platforms. >_>

My ADHD is getting the better of me today but I meant to post this in here earlier. Has anyone done a screen mod for their nomad? I am curious if anyone has specifically done the hispeedio one, which is like $80. I have seen the video Tito did on Macho Nacho, but that screen is probably never, ever coming back into stock. This one is $79 and I'm considering just buying it before this weekend. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805749855661.html
