Besides the NeoGeo...definitely the "it" console for playing fighting games

Dreamcast saved me hundreds of dollars worth of quarters in perfecting Marvel Vs. Capcom. :thumbsup:
 
10 million people claiming Dreamcast is underrated = it's not underrated. This has been going on for a while. Millions of people keep mentioning everywhere that it's underrated. It's not underrated, it's not overrated (but leaning more that way). I can understand it, but I don't see it as underrated. It has an underdog following and became extinct due to Evil Sony. So it has lots of fans (including me, sort of 😛)

But it is still underrated! You can buy one with about a hundred games for $100! People should be buying these things up but they aren't, its just mental!

Corny, but Super Magnetic Neo was a totally fun game.

Was that the little kid with what looked like hands on his head?

I remember playing a demo for that, it was quite fun.

Sonic Adventure and THPS were great too.

Did it look like hands? He had red and blue magnets for hands. So all the levels had swings and platforms and other things you had to either attract or repel yourself from to be able to complete. A red magnet robot could fly near, you'd activate your blue magnets, attract the robot, and then throw him by activating your red magnets.

It was really creative and fun, and very difficult when you got into a fast paced level where you're constantly switching magnetisms and trying to figure out if you need to attract or repel on-the-fly.

Here's a link...I think gamespot's overall rating was actually harder on the game than it deserved. Some reviewers didn't like it because it is excessively difficult.

I'd be so happy if it were ported to XBLA.

Typing of the dead! 🙂
I still have the DC hooked up.

Two player typing of the dead is one heck of an experience XD

I shall fire it up and play some Typing of the Dead, followed by Sega Marine Fishing (yes, I have the rod) and lastly Samba de Amigo! (yes, maracas too).

I still crack up looking at the on screen character with the DC strapped to the back and the keyboard in front of him 🙂
