If you could buy any Game/Console today?

[bembol]

Panasonic 3DO. I'm missed, itching to play, Road Rash again! I'm considering it and even looking at eBay.

The Console is regret selling. I remember selling after they dropped support and cancelled the Add-on, M2. I traded it and the 17+ games (the most for any I've owned) for Sony's PlayStation.

[skewed]

All I can remember from that system are bad movie cut scene games. There's a big reason why they aren't in the console wars now days...lack of support from developers.

[2damax]

Sega Saturn and Shining Force 3 which i never got to play.

Too bad Scenario 2 and 3 was never released in English:( .

I played 1 and 2 and those were the days of the old school rpgs.

[Super strokey]

Man hard decision... 3Do, Saturn, Dreamcast... lots of gooders out there but for me ill go with the PS2 as i never played almost any of the games that came out on it and some of them look freaking amazing... maybe ill see if i can find that sears deal lol

I remember when matshushita was going to make the next 3do style console, it was supposed to be crazy powerful for the time... but it never made it out of vapor which is shame.

I always wanted to get a DREAMCAST just to play MvsCapcom!

Whatever happened to the dreamcast? I remember seeing it in stores for the first time many years ago, being hella expensive.

Then all of a sudden it just disappeared without a trace. :confused:

Never really gave it much thought till about now.

Dreamcast was never that expensive. The intro price was $200. At that time it was alot but within 1 year it dropped the price big time. That system was the funnest system I ever had. You didn't need a modchip and you could get free internet with the free internet providers at the time without having an advertising banner on your screen. You could also play psx games and it would upgrade the graphics. Dreamcast also had a shitload of cool accessories. It's a shame everyone held out on DC waiting for the ps2 cause DC was a very good system.

Yeah they only sold like 7 million or something, it was soooo good too.

Part of the downhill of DC was pretty much everyone that had one were using copied games. Who remembers the reindeer boot disc :lol: I still have my dreamcast at my parent's house and MvC 2 still owns.

Maybe US pricing was $199. I paid $299Cdn + tax for mine at Superstorea few months after it launched. I was a big Sega fan. When the Dreamcast died, Sega was never the same software-wise. It's really gone steadily downhill the past 5 years.
One console I regret not buying when the price went down to clearance was Virtual Boy. I did rent it the first day it came out. That was trippy.

I paid $99 for my DC, but that was about a year before they stopped making US games for it (japanese shooters still seem to trickle out).

And yah putting in a cd drive (well a gd-rom), without alot of protection from playing copied discs was a bad idea, I think its why subsequent consoles have had tighter security. When you use an easily accessable and copied media, you've gotta tighten security.

great little console though, graphics were way better than the ps1 or n64, but it kinda came out between the ps1 and ps2, and ps2 just took off and left the DC in the dust.

I recently shelled out 20 bux for a vga cable so i could plug the DC into my hdtv. I don't use it too much but there are some games i like to go back and play on it.

[craze]

hehe i love that system Load"*",8,1

That certainly didn't help. The real downfall of the system was the hyping sony did of the PS2 and the emotion engine just as the DC was starting to gain ground. They hyped that stupid chip through the roof and the fanboys only added fuel to the fire.

If the PS2 had actually been out and people could have seen it was garbage then the dreamcast might have done better.

Sony just had deep pockets than sega, sega was bleeding cash at that time. Also the PS2 didnt suck at all, its one of the best consoles of all time.

If it was one of the best it was because of the games - certainly not because of the hardware.

The emotion engine sure as hell was a disappointment after all the hype. Really it was no better than dreamcast which was out a year earlier.. cost less and had 1/1000th the hype and development costs.
