Well this was a lockdown surprise. I'd never have thought that after all these years my favourite piece of gaming history was still thinking - thanks to many of the people on this forum.
I stumbled on this site a few weeks ago on a nostalgia inspired webcrawl and have read about the Dreampi

, GDEMU

, DCHDMI

, new games

and finally a decent gamepad the StrikerDC

(read the room). First order of business is to do a bit of creative accounting and upgrade my DC. I think the wife will understand she bought me my DC at launch - had to marry her after that.
The DC was the last console I really played - I opted out of the hardware business at the same time as Sega. Yes, it still hurts - the f#@€ing emotion engine my arse
