I really should play my Dreamcast more often, although I'll need to buy some more games. I'd like to get some import games such as Typing of the Dead and Cosmic Smash so I'll need to get one of those discs that lets you play them. Are there any other good games worth picking up that weren't released here?

However if I, hypothetically, had money to burn and I did buy it then what would I need to run it. I don't have a Japanese console but isn't there something that can be used to get around that?

Why don't you just download it? It's not as if Sega are going to be losing out on sales, if you Ebay it. If it pangs your conscience, buy Sonic Unleashed as penance.

They should remake all three CT games on the PS360 formats, maybe with a Wiimake of CT2 where jolting the remote upward (ala Excite Truck boosting) makes your taxi hop up. I can scarcely imagine the awesome.

No, we don't stand for such stupidly short and limited games any more.

Not every game needs to be an epic ******* marathon.

For 40 ******* quid I expect more than a 10-minute single player mode.

I'm jealous you've got an unopened DC. Still, I do have a second, unopened (as in 'factory sealed') Gamecube, which I bought recently for £40. It's a white one, with Mario Football packaged inside the box. I'll just hold on to that baby for another ten years and then maybe flog it to help fund my increasingly desperate old age...

Cosmic Smash is good but it really isn't worth the £60 people are asking for on eBay! As for Marvel vs. Capcom I'm finding it really hard on the easiest difficulty. I downloaded the sequel, too, but I haven't burnt it to disc yet. I'll see if I can make any more progress in the original first.

I've been downloading a few more games so I'll probably end up burning all of them and have an increase of games to play!
