Now that is cool.

If a Dreamcast like that was on sale back at a time when I could actually afford to buy consoles, I'd have totally hit that up. That design looks awesome.

Very nice.

Ohhh man, I need that. Now.

I still felt like I paid way too much for it.

he price tag should actually be - whatever that game cost them because it's a waste of money.

Let me just throw out how great the underrated Adventures Of Batman & Robin for the SNES is. Not only is the game great to look at, smooth to control, and cool to listen to, the game is pretty varied. Check it out:

Stage 1 - Beat 'Em Up
Stage 2 - Platformer
Stage 3 - Adventure (like the old point n clicks)
Stage 4 - One long chase and boss fight
Stage 5 - Top down car chase
Stage 6 - Beat 'Em Up (with a twist)
Stage 7 - Maze
Stage 8 - Boss Rush (Including new bosses)

Special mention has to be made that all the bosses are pretty freaking hard. If you think the first one is tough, well, they don't get any easier!

Is that the one that looks like BTAS with its art design? I think I rented it once when I was a kid, but I can't be sure since there were a ton of Batman games back in the day and I tried a few of them, at least.

Yeah, it's this one:



There was another game with a similar title for the Genesis but it was more of a Contra-style game. There was also a Game Boy game with the same title that was more like the old Batman platformers. Konami did a lot of good with the WB license back in the day.

So I've been planning for my next addition to my retro gaming collection to be a Dreamcast, and while checking Goodwill and some thrift stores today, I found a few games for it across them. Mostly sports titles, but I did find the first Tony Hawk game.

If it was 2, I would've bought it in an instant for safekeeping. But since it'd only be $3, I think I might go back and get it anyway.

As for my DC, my plan would be to buy one at Gorilla Games. They sell theirs for $40, but I can talk the guys down at one of them to $30.

If you guys have anything that plays PS1 classics, you need to hit this up. This is probably the best first party (Uh, sort of) game in Sony's library.
