For those that never knew or don't remember Blue Stinger was a launch title for the US 9/9/99. The story started with a mention of the past (year 2000) with present day being 2018. The story takes place through December with story events around Christmas eve 2018. For years I have been...

Can't believe its been that long. Some of us were kids then and now have kids... Still collecting hardware but slowed down a bit. Hope others still remember and dust off their DC. :beer:

Yep,.. I'm a bit behind now. The last game I got was Sturmwind LE deluxe and in Dreamcast tradition (of crazy limited stuff) it came with the Kraken plush!!!

Happy Birthday Dreamcast 9/9/99 launch anniversary. It’s nice to see that some people still remember the Dreamcast. About 10-12 years ago the collectors went nuts over it but most of those guys have since moved on and sold off their stuff. That Hello Kitty blue that was posted to this thread...

Nice find! I've always liked the Trinitrons as even the older ones were close to flat as seen top to bottom. I actually picked up a bunch of consumer units (mostly 27")years ago, a couple XBR, a couple pro, and a couple FD just for my future museum. CRT is needed for light gun games and nothing...

Not sure about a 1939 video game. People were still gathering around their Atwater Kent radios back then. It blew my mind when I found out that the 1972 Odyssey only rendered the ball and you had to place an overlay on your TV to get the lines. The carts were just switch cards (open and short...

Some are better than others. The HTK-8100 is good but a bit high priced. I've tried the Performance and Blaze as well. There are quite a few cheaper types out there but I would try before you buy if possible. I'm glad some still remember the Anniversary! After 15 years you would think my...

I agree with a bit of what you said but one thing I think many people overlook is that Sega was a teeny tiny company in comparison with Microsoft and Sony (who are still the current leaders). Even Nintendo would have fallen had it not had a strong portable market share (GB*). Not that the Game...

Hey, whatever ended up happening with this system. Was it sold or not? We just passed the 12th anniversay of the US launch 9/9/99. Seems like DC is just going to continue to fade. This year might be the year I go ahead and move my on line collection to its own page or at lease somewhere that...

I was starting to think I was the only one! There was a comment about it being hard to collect systems that have no games of (particular) interest. I can relate to that but settled on that if I can find at least one I can really enjoy, it makes it into my collection. AVP on Atari Jaguar for...

I used to pop in Nights on Saturn to listen to the audio tracks. While the music isn't for everyone it was part of what made the game great. It was nice to be able to pop in game discs to check out the music. I did eventually import the 3 disc Japanese sound track of that game though.

Man, I forgot about Tempo. It had a weird acid trip thing that would happen with flying cows and yodeling! It was experiences like that which I enjoyed. Yep, Chaotix was not for everyone but the ability to choose different characters with unique moves and the ability to do two player if you...

This is my first new thread here on CAG so let me start off by saying I hope I don't offend anyone or come across as a know it all. There are tons of things I don't know, and my opinions are just opinions. Having said that, (a little background) I own hundreds of systems and over 1000 games so...

Both you guys might be partly correct on that. Sega as far as I know never went fully public on why they first said the CDX could work with the 32X but with every 32X sold they stated as follows: "This instruction manual includes a description of how to connect the Genesis 32X to the Genesis...

There was a bright red sticker on many 32X boxes saying not compatible as they did not recommend using them together. They were electrically compatible and if you got an adapter from Sega part number 253-6924 they would not void your warranty if you used them together. Without the adapter the...

I got to try out both versions of the CD2 back to back and its true you can mix and match just about any early and old Genesis and Sega CD (Excluding Genesis 3, CDX) with brackets, extension piece and cart socket adapter but I noticed a cache lag with the earlier model CD unit that was not...

A lot of great suggestions. As far as the best reliability and compatability I would recommend the newest (2nd generation) of the 2nd style. The first "2" model was often bundled with Sewer Shark, the 2nd Gen "2" was bundled with Tomcat Alley. Inside the optical pickup, sled and board were...

For me it was the other way around. Back then I was way into Sega and barely got a Playstation for a handful of games realizing too late that there were a ton of great RPG's. I snaged up Thousand Arms and mailed off to get the OST CD. Got Lunar, and Lunar 2 Eternal Blue with the Ghaleon Puppet...

Vinny I hadn't thought about a DB like that. That would really be helpful. I guess about the closest thing would be if you found enough people who bought their games new and kept everything together. I started collecting in 1998 right when Saturn was being phased out and the prices were falling...

Great question. My advice is to start with the games and systems that you remember and enjoy. To get an idea of what to pay for something I sometimes go to eBay, do an advanced search and select "completed items only". That will give you an idea of what they have been going for lately and are...
