Honestly if you can get reproduction copies from someone who can make them. I know people do not like that. But as a once avid Dreamcast collector alot of games will not work. Blue Stinger for example I had an authentic copy but when released it was known not to boot. Cant send it into Sega anymore. HeadHunter was also the same issue would not boot. Code Veronica disc 1 would not read. I was beyond frustrated collecting games to play. I found someone who made the games with cases artwork the looked original and played what I wanted and sold the lot, noting what was a reproduction. Dreamcast games are prone to disc rot, and the ring in the middle is the most important, not the disc itself. I gave up with D2 dreamcast when I saw the price. Its such a shame Sega doesnt release an updated Dreamcast, and re release all the great games.

The Dreamcast was my favorite console growing up! I’m glad you’re excited about it. You should definitely check out Jet Grind Radio, and if you want something a little more obscure, I remember really liking Revolt. Though, it’s been 20 years since I’ve played it, and it might not hold up. Also it had some of the best ports of the time, like the Tony Hawk and Resident Evil games.

I grew up with a Dreamcast and it was awesome in 1999 to 2001, but imo its one of the least necessary consoles of my whole childhood to try getting again. All its important games are ported elsewhere, with the ports often being identical or better, the disc lasers break constantly, the controller does not feel good to hold for long stretches, and even a lot of the games didn't age as well as say, Genesis/SNES/N64/PS1/PS2. Though I do see some value in a Dreamcast with the laser taken out and the entire library loaded in on a SD card though actually.

Great vid! As a former gamer/collector, i went thru this issue many years ago. An old trick is If you open the system up, behind the disc drive lens is a tiny screw, just take a needle nose pliers and turn it halfway counter clockwise. I clearly remember when the announcement was made sega would discontinue the dreamcast, and before this whole collecting nonsense started, i went to funcoland, and there was literally an entire wall of dreamcast games for $10-$20 bucks each. There is no effin way i’d ever pay what these systems and games go for nowadays. Just rediculous.

Dreamcast was one of the first consoles that you could play bootleg game discs on. depending on how they where made, you could use a boot disc to swap out the copy or later bootlegs just played like regular real games. I'm sure you can find Dreamcast ISOs online.
