    In Britain second hand DreamCasts cost £25 in Game. Thats where I got mine. As for games, there was this dodgy guy in Game the day i bought the DC who sold me and Mills about 90 games for £20. Still havent played loads of them :)

    People who sell DreamCasts make baby jebus cry.

    Anyway, games:

    Soul Calibur
    Phantasy Star Online
    Jet Set Radio
    MSR
    Rez
    Virtua Tennis (1 or 2, they're pretty much identical)
    Crazy Taxi
    Sonic Adventure
    Skies Of Arcadia
    Marvel Vs Capcom
    Chu Chu Rocket

    Some people like Daytona, but they're mad and wrong. If you're looking for sports games, Sega's NBA and NFL games are good, and Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 is out for it. There's no decent football games on it though.

    Of course, Dreamcast games are like golddust now so good luck finding anything apart from the likes of 90 Minutes in shops. Buy&Sell and Ebay are the only way to go, really.

    DC's are great. It's a bastard to find the games but when you do they can be very cheap. I need a credit card so i can start using e-bay.

    I for one adore Daytona. Many are put off the hyper-sensitive steering but when you unlock the really slidey fast cars its perfect.

    I'm hoping to pick up a load of SNK games like Mark of Wolves, Last Blade, Kof 2002 when I get a chance. A few solid shooters like Mars Matrix, Ikaruga, Cosmic Smash and Bangai-O would be nice too. I also need Street Fighter 3.. the list goes on.

    Why Tusky, I ought smak you upside the ass biatch. Worth a lot more than that. Nope think I'll hang onto it anyway. I've never sold a console in my life (unfortunately this means I have about 12 of the buggers cluttering up the place and never get to play them because it's too much hassle to set em up !)

    Lads, sell stuff on the For Sale board and link to it from here. You'll probably get a better response anyway.

    It's worth more to you to keep it. Those games are very common.

    It's a damn shame that console failed with a lineup like that though - is it not? Man... makes me depressed just thinking about it.

    I sold mine for €150 last month, i ripped the unsuspecting guy off. I told him its just as popular as the ps2. Shenmue rocked except for his housekeeper, fuk she was annoying.
