Cosmic Smash completely slipped my mind!

Also what are those VMU save discs you mentioned?

Anyhow, I'm thinking of just super gluing one of my spare VMU's into the slot along with my only Jump Pack (I need to get a new controller and Jump Pack anyway) as games like REZ must be experienced with Rumble and the VMU was a really integral part of the Dreamcast's legacy.
._. I... I never played Rez with the Rumble Pack. Dear fucking God, what was I thinking!?

Anyway, here's the disc I was talking about, it's a life-saver (primarily for when you just want to quickly experience all a game has to offer, or play downloaded content that's no longer available such as Samba De Amigo's Sega-themed bonus tracks or the extra islands in Skies of Arcadia): http://www.snesorama.us/board/showthread.php?t=5982

Once you start using it you'll start to wonder how you ever went on without it... sort of like how I'll be after I go to play Rez with the Rumble Pack promptly following this period.

Thanks for thee link!

REZ must be played in a dark room with house shaking sound, optional simultaneous headphones and a Jump Pack along three other controllers all with Jump Packs as well placed behind your neck, down at the base of your spine and under your feet will provide you with trance vibration mode to truly experience synaesthesia.

Quite frankly, this is what caught my attention.

Just to let everyone know - there is another Dreamcast party on Wednesday at The Creek in LIC.
Creek website wrote:On September 9th, 1999, the Sega Dreamcast was released in North America. Now, ten years later, join us in celebrating the anniversary of Sega’s short lived but well loved last console in NYC!

On Wednesday, 9/9/09, Long Island City’s The Creek will host this one of a kind birthday blowout for the Dreamcast. There will be plenty of consoles on hand to relive the glory days of your favorite games, including Soul Calibur, Crazy Taxi, Marvel VS Cacpom 2, Chu Chu Rocket, Jet Grind Radio, Rez, and many more! Adding to the fun will be live performances by local chiptune and electronic artists!
