!RESURRECTED! BIG LIST - Stuff for that new Dreamcast

[bckey2]

Alright. I guess there are a lot more japanese units out there than I thought. Man, I just looked at the warranty and it is only 90 days. Mine broke a little too late.

<<
Just to let you know how good I think the MC2 is, I also have the Logitech Momo wheel that lists for $200. Though I'm esctatic about the Momo wheel because of the quality and feel, I still get as much enjoyment out of the MC2 wheel because it is just designed so cleverly..... >>



Cool! I have a Momo wheel in my Subaru WRX...came stock too It's a nice wheel in my car, so it must be GREAT on a controller heheheh.

mmmph, if it was a 22Bsti, i'd be trying to kidnap that kuruma like that guy from seinfeld (yes, i know your wife is police, i am joking here )
alien front online has dropped to $19.99 at cc (if it has been posted already, pay me no mind)
and dude, sorry to hear you machine isn't working, try here
good luck!

 

[DaveNCheez]

Anyone know the quality of this light gun?

http://www.baysoftgames.com/dreampis.html


reading reviews I have learned most prefer the Mad Catz Dreamcast Blaster to the Interact Light gun. However I cant find a review of this one anywhere.
by the picture it looks well made, but Id like to know the accuracy.

Not sure I could handle the STi...my WRX is a lot of car to handle (I LOVE smoking those 17 yr old punks in Mustangs and Camaros. They come up next to me at red lights, start reving their engine, and outrun me until about 25mph. Then the turbo kicks in and next thing you know I'm two blocks ahead of them heheheh. The look on their face is PRICELESS

(BTW- Don't tell the wife hehehehe)

Yeah.. The Momo wheel is just like a real Momo wheel with the exception of the little buttons in the middle. It's even leather wrapped. I have a Momo Monte Carlo in my old VW GTI and it's great. I'd put one in my A4 as well if it weren't for the airbag.

Here's a link to the Logitech Momo Wheel for anyone that's interested.

Don't get excited because it's not for the Dreamcast. It does work on a PS2 though. If I only had one.

If you can find a place that has Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2, let me know. It's almost impossible to find (well...find for under $49).

 

[Tallgeese]

easy decision...BOTH!

 

[Salvador]

What's the difference between Tokyo Extreme Racer 1 and 2? Is there a need for 1 if you have 2?

Sal

 

[thholr]

gamestop has it for 29.99 NEW . The funcoland store near me had like 10 copies. But I dont know whether to get it or whether to get used f355 for 22.99 ?????? Any s\uggestions ?

 

[Kaervak]

If your going for collection value, get TXR2. It was a very limitied pressing of the CD. F355 isn't as rare. Both are good games. I'd personally go with TXR2 at the moment. And for that price, it's damned good.

 

[cstring]

I got the VGA Cable/box with 2 headphone out, svideo, composite video and audio and VGA for 14.99 at EB, I think it is a good buy since the svideo connector is selling for 9.99. They also have the massive memory card for 19.99, the fishing rod for 9.99 and light gun for 19.99.

 

[Ponderer]

Could anybody who has both the Naki VGA adapter and the Mad Catz Dreamblaster tell me if there's any problem with this combo on a monitor.

I found several posts on the 'net that claims it works, but I cannot get it working. I have tried with 2 dreamcasts on 2 different monitors. No luck. :frown:

 

[Ponderer]

Hey Salvador: Glad to see you finally got that shrinkwrap off your DC and games! Glad I was able to take part in convincing you. Pretty cool, ain't she?

I have the exact same sentiments afa the MC2 goes. Awesome wheel, and I have the original classic Logitech FF wheel (yep, the real deal!).

On a lighter side, I recently got Wacky Races, and it is a ton of fun! Not exactly F355 (for us wannabe F1 pilots), but a very neat diversion!

 

[Salvador]

thholr: What does Gamestop and Funcoland have? TXR1 or 2?

Ponderer: Yep.. Yep.. I finally broke the seal on the Dreamcast and opened 2 games so far. Heh.. I'm still trying to figure out what to keep, what to sell and what to return. I figured that I'd better buy now and think about it later.

I'm keeping most of them sealed for now in case I see a price that's cheaper.

Got a question.. I bought Sonic Adventure about a week ago at CC for $10. I saw that it was online, but backordered last night for $6.99. I was going to go back to CC today and PM, but when I went to the site today, it said that the price is back up to $29.99.

Now.. Was that $6.99 price a sale from last week? If not, I did print off the online price last night and I was going to take that in for a price adjustment.

I also need to take in a few more games for price adjustment because CC is running another 10% off sale again this week on software.

Sal

 

[Salvador]

Never mind.. I just found TXR2 on Gamestop's site for $30. I bought it just last week with a 10% web promotion for $35.99.

Any idea if Gamestop does price adjustments?

Also, any idea where I could find a new copy of TXR1 for a reasonable price?

Thanks again,

Sal

need the manufacturer names before these can be posted to the list.

 

[Tallgeese]

Just a quick heads-up:

Looks like all DC games and accessories have been removed from the Dreamcast section of the bestbuy.com website.
You can still see some games listed under certain links, like "Bestsellers" and "New Releases." But the "genre" categories are bare.

 

[cthd]

Anybody know if the V3fx Racing wheel (by Interact) is any good?
I know they have a V4, but I can't find reviews on the V3.

 

[SBuddha]

One word about the mini light gun, I have it and it works but it is indeed mini. I'm talking really really tiny. I would rather go with the interact or the madcatz one, if you can find any left at the store.

Light guns do not work on progressive scan displays. Period. They work on normal, interlaced TV's. They do not work on vga monitors and hdtv's.

 

[Salvador]

Man.. That sucks about BB.com. I was going to use the $5 off coupon for an in store pickup, but coudn't decide what I wanted.

Do you think BB is wiping out of the stuff for good now?

Sal

 

[Salvador]

I went ahead and used the BB coupon on WSB 2k2 for $19.99 - $5 coupon that was mailed to me.

I got WSB 2k1 with my Sega console, but haven't played it yet. I heard that WSB 2k2 is quite a bit better. Does anyone here have any real experience with WSB 2k1 or 2k2?
