Yes! Rayman 2 looks spectacular on Dreamcast via 480p. Recently added it to my library.

Code Veronica to me, is easily the best in the whole franchise. It's just so good. I'm close to having every version of it on the Dreamcast.

Currently playing "Moero! Justice Gakuen", Jet Set Radio (mostly for the PAL exclusive tracks), Sturmwind, some Biohazard 2 Value Plus, and just recently getting back to playing Powerstone 2 after abandoning it after a pretty heated score attack competition via DC Live. I guess it just took a lot of the fun out of the game for me. I'm sure I'll eventually have it on my rotation like before.

Well just fired my DC up during the last couple of days thanks to the arrival of Sturmwind.

Im happy to report that it is ace and well worth the £30 I paid.

Being pretty new, (and rubbish!), at shumps Ive played through the entire game on easy and really enjoyed it. Its nice to see that each set of levels are themed and Ive really enjoyed the supurb graphics, the Duranik brother have done an amazing job, its been worth the wait.

On the same note, the music is pretty good too.

Now starting on Normal.

Any body else playing this ?

I hated the jump to 3D with Rayman. It was so much better as a 2D game. And yes, I've very happy with my copy of Rayman: Origins on Wii.

Found a copy of Godzilla generations for the Dreamcast at the local retro video game store. Well, that's my weekend.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

As opposed to SA2 and the hunt for the em-er-alds?

Yes, this is true. I think you're right that SA2 was definitely more polished and refined. But having said that, it's the level design of SA1 and the fact it does feel more like an old-school Sonic game that makes me enjoy it more. You had the classic hilly levels, the classic ice levels etc, where each level had a very distinct and old-school Sonic theme. Plus, the first time I played it, I was blown away.

I just picked up Project Justice so I'm about play it for the first time. I never played Rival Schools so I don't know what to expect.

Great game. You're going to wish your high school was that cool.

You're gonna love it, and not just for the fact that it's a tough title to snag for a good price these days.

Agree completely. Project is definitely a gem for the system and one of the reasons to own a Dreamcast. It looks visually solid even by today's standards (play with in VGA!), has some really catchy tunes, some wonderful humor, and a really appealing design. A great Fighting game :D
