How is your Dreamcast gaming going on?

You also have Fushigi Dungeon, El Dorado Gate, and the Black/Matrix remake, Bone.

Good to know! I love Mystery Dungeon games.

will be playing some toy commander and some tony hawk 2 today but I have a question about something. Is the broadband adapter worth the 80-100.00 to pick up? I mean can I still go online with the dreamcast? Or is it just something collectors just go for. I didn't think there are still servers online for dreamcast except for like pso 1 or 2.

there are only a handful of games still online. Some w/ private servers, some still using their original official PC/DC servers. The only games the BBA can play is PSO, Quake III, Sega Swirl and the homebrew port of Doom.

The other games that are online still are Planet Ring, Maximum Pool, Starlancer, and 4X4 Evo. However these games only work with a dialup modem. And all the BBA games I listed will also work with the modem. So that said, if you can find a cheap (or better yet free) dialup ISP, then that's really a better option.

Are there any servers for Alien Front Online? That game was amazing. Tokyo Wars meets War of the Worlds. I still play it single player sometimes just to wreck the environments.

nope. The only games still online for DC are the ones I listed. There's always rumors of other games come back. And sometimes that is a reality - Planet Ring only got a private server in 2013.

Maybe someday then. I literally bought Alien Front Online a month after the servers shut down and didn't realize they were gone so I never got to try it online.

I've always been a big Tokyo Wars fan though so the purchase was still worth it and I don't think it cost me a heck of a lot as Dreamcast games were flying off the shelves for a pittance at the time.

still waiting for a convenient way to play Dreamcast games online through reasonably priced products ($60?)

Just wanted to clear something up about your statement, given that a dial up ISP still runs about $9.95 a month. You can make a broadband modem simulate a dial up connection, there is no need to pay for dial up (or buy an ethernet adapter) to play those games. Here's a guide that walks you through it: http://dreamcast-talk.com/forum/viewtop ... f=3&t=3122 There is (maybe was) a community that plays the Saturn online games in the UK as well, I played with those guys back around 2007-2008 or so and did it this way without ever paying for dial up.

Well been wanting to play some dreamcast but my tv is being used all day and I want to play before the patriots game.

Someone else knows about Tokyo Wars. That alone is amazing. I think the only cabinets I saw (and played) were imported from Japan, for they all had the Japanese writing and 100 yen coin slots

My favorite thing, 1 vs 3. I knew the game so well I'd take the handicap, kind of like Combat on the Atari 2600. I'd always do well.
