What's So Great About the Dreamcast?

I seriously just don't understand how anyone who is into retro gaming could look at the Dreamcast and then say "Eh... no thanks." I mean, if you aren't into retro gaming, that's one thing. However, if you are into retro gaming, refusing the Dreamcast would be like catching fish with your bare hands. It's cheap as sin and most the games are cheap as well.

Also, I don't really feel that too many of the better Dreamcast and Saturn games are really expensive. Sure, some are, but I wouldn't say a huge chunk. The really good ones are still usually in the $20-40 dollar range, and I'd rather spend $40 on a great retro game than the same amount on a usually sub-par current generation game.

Thing is, I consider the $20-40 range to still be pretty expensive for an older console. Keep in mind though, I spend on average of 10-12 dollars or less on most of my games.

You can get most DC games for less than $10, really. I mean here's a an ace list of worthwhile DC games for under $10 over at Racketboy.com

BTW, if you live in the US, and you really want to see the current trends for the DC games market, just visit the DC section over at VGPC.com. It's a really helpful tool for collectors to see what a game is currently going for on various marketplaces, and what are its trends over an ongoing time span, so you know when it's a good time to buy a game and when it's good to wait a bit. :)

What? You don't want an awesome high quality game? Aww you just beat it in 3 hours!? Want to play again??!!! =D

Two ways to interpret this one...

1) How?
2) Why not?

I love my Dreamcast because of being able to back up games. BOOTLEG ALERT - I would rather back up my games that I own personally, store them away where I know they will be safe, than spend $50 on another copy of Bangai-O that I got for $0.13. *jumps on Doom's Jump to conclusion mat*... MOOT! Piracy is bad, I am all anti-piracy. Nothing lasts forever though. Would rather beat up a junker than use the actual when applicable. If I own a game that I have bought, I would like it to last.
