Unless copies start self destructing or the host site for Time Stalkers Superfan Convention 2014 burns to the ground with everyone and 10,000 copies inside, it won't 'become rare'. :P

Sorry, should have said. I'm from the UK. Time Stalkers seems to be rarer here. From what you guys said, it's much more expensive here.

But yeah, terrible game.

I only brought Time Stalkers because of the Landstalker connection- I just can't get into it though.

Same. And then I traded it in a month later, it was so bad.

Feeling like playing something new, I looked to my shelf and saw my copy of E.G.G. that I got in a trade a while back. This game was sealed, and I had every intention of opening it up to play it. Today was the day, and I cracked it open like it was 1999!

Freed from its confines, this disc sees the light of day for the first time in 14 years!

Hope the game is as good as I have heard about online!

That is a crazy long list. Mine's nowhere near as extensive, but I still enjoy it anyway:

Bust-A-Move 4
Crazy Taxi
Crazy Taxi 2
Ecco the Dolphin
Fast Striker
Grandia II
GunLord
Last Hope
Rayman 2
SoulCalibur
Sturmwind
Tokyo Extreme Racer 2

I had and got rid of Draconus and Sonic Adventure. I still don't see what people like about the latter so much. Dux 1.5 and Redux will be here as soon as the latter is released (backer), and I just recently plopped down for Neo XYX. Is it sad or awesome that almost half of my collection is (well, would be) releases from after the Dreamcast was retired?

Still love seeing all the Dreamcast love. :D It is in my Trinity of favorite systems. :lol:

I don't have a big collection any more though, only cause I switched to Naomi for all the arcade titles. But I figured it still counts as my Dreamcast gaming going great. :D

I still wish in some way some one could make Dreamcast versions of all of the Naomi games that never made it to the Dreamcast. Surely some one is smart enough just not me.

If you mean Giga Wing 2, then the answer is yes!!

Anyone have good experience with this?

I want to play VGA compatible Skies of Arcadia along with other games from an SD Card, since I don't want to buy 99 minute CDs and have to deal with disc swapping and stuff.

So after putting in about 2 hours last night into E.G.G., I am impressed. The environments are nice to look at, and the music is awesome. I did get stuck a couple of times because I could not tell that there was a doorway at the bottom of the screen, or that I could go down a path because it looked blocked or something. The first boss "Jointer" almost had me throwing my controller though, it took me 5+ tries to beat that bastard, it was a pretty hard fight so early into the game with no powerups. Overall I am enjoying it very much, and look forward to getting back into it.

Cool and that is really the only concern with the game, getting stuck not seeing a door or exit. Glad you made it to the first boss you at least gave the game a chance, I have to pop back into it I'm up to the 2nd boss fight.
If you can see the future while remembering the past, you may just have control of the present.
