well kind of.

From Segagagadomain:

 
In Japan the Dreamcast had quite a few RPG games which never saw the light of day in the west, but then again what’s so new about that (-_-) Eldorado Gate was Capcom's monthly RPG that ran for 7 volumes. Each month Capcom would release a new volume so that you could continue your adventure. Some would say that this is a nice idea while others would say it’s a blatant way to rip you off by making you by every volume just to complete the game. Personally I go with the second option. The games are not really that long and Capcom could have easily fitted 3 or maybe 4 volumes on to 1 GDROM.

But .Hack was a multimedia extravaganza with games and the anime and, uh... did they ever really make anything else for this grand concept everything "world" they were trying to do?

I played crazy taxi today. One passenger wanted to go to the aquarium, so I took him for a drive underwater. For some reason he was not pleased.

On a related note, it turns out taxis can work fine under water.

I grabbed this one for $47 shipped on eBay. Not the *best* deal, but a good deal for sure. The one I used to have I had paid just about the same for. But it really is a super comfortable pad. I highly recommend it.

I bought one at a used game store about 10 or 11 years ago for $20, but my pad's getting a little loosey goosey.

I can beat that deal. I found that exact white Ascii model pre-owned at a local game store in my area for only $10 like 2 years ago.
But yes you are right concerning the actual Dpad on these controllers. They just can't take normal abuse without eventually get very loose very quickly. It's perhaps my biggest gripe with the controller :|

On the plus side though, They make for an amazing internal PCB for a potential custom Dreamcast Arcade Stick! :D

I might actually be able to play shmups on the DC with that controller. I'll have to keep an eye out for one, looks well worth the price.
