Classic Gaming/Consoles

Dissolved · Post by **Dissolved** » Tue Feb 15, 2011 12:55 am

I'm a big fan of Dreamcast, Amiga(ok not a console but a god like 16bit machine that spawned a ton of console ports from it), PC Engine and Snes, sadly most of which are sitting back in Glasgow just now.
Do have my dreamcast fortunately, been playing Last Hope, Under Defeat, Ikaruga and MDK2 a lot recently.
Has anyone seen the new Dreamcast shooter that's been announced "Sturmwind", looks like an incredible horizontal/vertical scrolling 2D shooter (kind of Salamander 2-esque) with some stunning bosses.

I think he means in terms of mainstream popularity/production of games available for it.

Yeah that's what I meant. I went and bought a Dreamcast again a while ago and burned a shit load of roms/emulators for it from nes/snes/sega and of course mass dreamcast games.

Good luck.

You could start checking at various goodwill stores. Friend of mine is collecting NES games from those places for dirt cheap. Lots of good finds.

if you have a Wii you can DL it for 800 wii points. but yeah, i know, playing on the original hardware is so much more satisfying.
