Very fun, and very addictive. It's best when playing with friends for a 4 player brawl, but the story mode and bots in multiplayer still make it a fun game for solo play.

It's pretty fun although unlocking stuff can be a chore. I prefer Heavy Metal but Spawn is still worth playing.
Didn't Spawn lack analog control though? Had to use the D pad which made no sense.
EDIT: nevermind. Im thinking of another game I guess. need to bust out the old DC

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Best version, yes.
Getting that one in the future then.=p

Full 3D. That was kinda the big innovation it brought to the table when it came out alongside RE3.

Full 3D, so the higher resolution makes a bigger difference.
I wish I had the Dreamcast version, but I had already bought the PlayStation version when it first came out, which was a year before the Dreamcast port. It's a great game. I actually just played through it over the last few days. Hah.

Yeah, Sword of the Berserk is definitely a fun game. That's actually what got me into the anime/manga in the first place. It's a mechanically sound beat-em-up with buckets of blood. Hard to complain about that.
Shame the PS2 Berserk game was such a letdown.

Yep, Sword of the Berserk is one of the best games on Dreamcast.

loved the balls off Berserk, got me to finally watch the anime years later, and read the manga since.

Summer is a good time for survival horror...maybe everyone should jump into crisis?

I might try and finish it. I started it last year but the dinos were too easy to run past and the game really starts to drag mid way through. I really liked Regina though so I may try and force myself through it.

I don't really think there are many who would argue that Space Channel 5 has amazing rhythm gameplay (though it's actually pretty decent compared to most of its competition from the time). It gets by on good music and fun style, and that's okay with me.
Plus it's like $5 and has a rad holo cover so who the fuck would pass up on that

You don't see one of these for sale too often I think.

Doesn't the Dreamcast version have some sort timing issues? I think the PlayStation 2 version fixed that...but I don't have that version.
I can't remember if the timing issues were related to controls, the video background displays, or both, though.
Anyway, I really love Space Channel 5, but Part 2 is definitely a whole lot better.
By the way, Ulala is one of my favorite Sega characters, and I tend to try and recreate her in pretty much every game that has a character creation mode. Hah. I have Ulala customs in Soulcalibur V, Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Beach Spikers, Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown (I have like 10+ Ulala-inspired costumes between Sarah and Eileen), and probably some other games, too.

I've never played Space Channel 5, but I feel like I'm missing out. Seems like the sort of game I'd really dig.

Moving in a month and pulled out my Sega Sports Dreamcast. I think I'm going to have to sell it off, but gottta see if the guy still is working once I find a TV to plug it to.

how much are you asking for it?

I don't know but I am open to offers. I do need to see if it works still. I have a few disc only games as well along with a bunch of VMUs and three controllers.
I hate not being able to play project justice but I'll manage.

Probably my favorite system of all time 
I'm missing a few titles that I traded in a few years ago.. Hopefully when money is better I can reclaim some of them and more!

I recently became an owner of a Dreamcast with Sega Rally 2 and Virtua Fighter.
Found the demo disc content that comes with them entertaining.

Hmm. Not surprisingly, the cheap-ass VGA cable I got from an ali-express seller is no longer working well. Games stutter or flake out entirely (to a black screen) and there's no audio. At first I thought it was my Dreamcast but luckily it works fine via the composite cable.
I will probably get a Hanzo box at this point. I'd use emulation but that path seems to be very complicated - the SD card adapters in the OP now seem to be difficult to find/expensive and the BBA is $LOL. Bleh.

You are missing Grandia 2, Soul Calibur, and Toy Commander off the top of my head.

I use a kuro and a Kenzei and it looks crazy good. At the top of this page or last I captured some ikaruga with them running into my mini.
It also took mine a good 3-4 weeks to show up.

I paid for the Hanzo, I think it's money WELL spent if you play Dreamcast. I had a crappy Nyko VGA box before, and the connection would get unstable and mess with the colors. The Hanzo is solid, works great, and I love the scanline generator. Hydro Thunder in VGA with scanlines? Oh Hell YES!!
Which brand of VGA cables?
Good to know! You know what? I never saw the kenzei mentioned in the op of the Hanzo thread. Is it just a line doubler? If so i guess I'm going the oposite route with this 15 khz VGA to SCART transcoder.
I have an American Dreamcast and I just got a Japanese copy of Ikaruga. I know that I need a boot disc in order to play imports but I need help. All the info and guides that I've found are out of date. Should I be using Utopia? I only have access to a Mac so I also need a program that can burn the image to a CD.
Does anyone have a step-by-step guide?

Doesn't even have a brand. Not surprised it flaked out.
