Thanks for the replies guys. I appreciate it. I might buy the VGA thing soon. That's the thing that converts the games to HD, right?
Anywho, I found an old game exchange store, went there an got 4 dreamcast games. house of the dead 2, nba 2k1, nfl 2k1, and fighting force 2 all for $21.50 TOTAL!

VGA box will not enable HD in games but it outputs a 480P Progressive Scan picture which is much better then RCA/Svideo.

I hate to tell you but I think you got ripped off on that deal. Fighting Force 2 ain't worth a dime (yeah it's that bad) and sports games are only worth a couple bucks each. House of the Dead 2 is about $8-$10.

yeah the sports titles and Fighting Force 2 should be pretty dirt cheap as they tended to have large distributions and some didn't get received too well, you should've got those 4 for about $12 without having to get them posted

Don't feel bad about it though! There are some good deals you will come across that will definitely make up for it (I have the best luck at pawn shops) and don't let the shittyness of Fighting Force 2 turn you off from the system, it really is the worst game I've ever played

. If you ever see a deal on Ebay or something or just want to ask us question about the value be sure to do it, we can all help you out in figuring what a good deal would be

And at least he's got HOTD, NFL and NBA outta the deal. All those are AAA titles regardless of whether he paid too much.

I LOVE House of the Dead, I just can't get lightguns to work on my damn lcd tv

Confidential Mission and Virtua Cop too, I miss those fucking games. Back at college that was all me and my friends would do, buy a pallet and play some lightgun games!

Same here !! Lightgun games are awesome - as long as you have the gun !! Of course you in the US had a slight problem with all that
I'm always harping on about the Death Crimson games on DC. They are much better than previous incarnations on other systems. It's such a pain in the ass that the inventor of LCD/LED/Plasmas didn't consider us Dreamcast fans while he was working shit out. Ignorant f****

Indeed, HOTD2 is an excellent game. I actually have a DC Live challenge going on for that game currently. It's to see if you can complete the first chapter without using any continues. Check out the
Game Contest section if you're interested.
