New to Dreamcast World. :)

Post#1 » Mon Aug 16, 2021 11:12 am

Hey all,

I recently landed a "revision 1" PAL Dreamcast in full working order with controllers and a few games for the princely sum of gratis. It had been dumped in a box in my neighbourhood and I would've been insane not to grab it. :)

Right now I'm waiting for an RGB Scart cable to arrive because it only had an RF lead - which was a surprise that any gamer would have been using that in the late 90s for a new machine but if you have any recommendations for games and homebrew that I should check out as a newbie, please share them. I like all genres and I'm always prepared to step out of my comfort zone and give the unusual a try.

Cheers!

J.

Wow, that's a lucky find! And what's also lucky is that the Dreamcast has a fantastic homebrew scene, if I do say so myself. ;)

And since you're asking... I totally recommend Intrepid Izzy. ;)

That was from just one box containing the Dreamcast stuff. There was another box with a working Mega Drive II, games, the PSU, controllers - plus PS2 controllers, a PC gamepad (sealed box), spindles of DVD+RW's, dozens of DVD/CD cases and DVD/CD sleeves - both of which will come in handy for burning my own DC discs. ;)

I almost feel bad for whoever threw that stuff out. They must be doing bad to do that.
