I think post October of 2000 is the magic date to avoid. I have 4 Dreamcasts now and they are all good to go fro reading backups |

I read an article a while back comparing the SEGA vs the TOMEE cable and it held up very well. Almost no differences. I would just go with the offbrand (the SEGA brand is grossly expensive). http://www.stoneagegamer.com/dreamcast-vga-cable.html |

I know I'd want this cable, and then I'd need a decent sized memory card and a game or two. |

Wow. You and me are in the same boat. I just picked me up a DC from CL as well. Also looking for games. So far I grabbed Grandia II, SF3: Double Impact (backgrounds from SF3:2nd Impact and SF3:New Generation > SF3:Third Strike) and Shenmue. I know I want Skies of Arcadia but then i'm stuck. RPGs are said to suck with the exception of a few and maybe I'll grab some fighters and shoot-em-ups. Kickstarter games seem to trickle out every so often as well. I'm also looking to get a VGA box; i heard the hanzo (http://www.beharbros.com/#!hanzo/c1gph) is a good way to go (albeit twice as much as the generic ones you can find on ebay) but I'm not sure I want to spend that much when I only have a few games. sigh. |
