The Dreamcast was released on 9/9/99. Mine is dated 8/99. It has a solid metal vent shaft and cooling fan. Also, the fan is snug right up against the vents on the side of the machine. It's a work horse!

The 2 port works great with the 2600 adaptor.
Couple games don'twork on the 2 port, I believe Mountain King was one of them.

Okay very curious, if okay pics of the actual differences on your Pre-Release Dreamcast?

Hey what's up guys!

New member here. I've been a big fan of this site and Racket Boy's articles for a while now and just haven't joined til recently.

On another note. I just ordered the Sega Saturn Modchip and the Dreamcast VGA box and.....WOW...Racket Boy sure knows how to ship fast. I haven't had a chance to get everything up and running yet but will soon enough.

Thanks Racket Boy!

Welcome. Be sure to get the slightly more expensive VGA Box with bypass S-Video out. Not all DC games support VGA.

A fellow 5200 owner! Any rare stuff in there? Mine is the 4 port single cable "✸" version. Accessories include Wico joystick/keypad, 2600 Adapter, Trakball, Twinstik coupler and Pacman 4-way adaptor.

What is unique about the Dreamcast pre-release?

I'll have to go over my collection. Any rarities would just be games themselves. I have the 2 port system. First video game system I ever owned!

hello

is that a last unicorn display picture i see

Hey, just registered here. Found out about this site through a Talking Classics video. Love those videos and this site seems great.

I've been gaming my whole life and am getting really into collecting now for all systems. Right now I have Playstation, PS2, PSP, NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, Wii, Gameboy Colour, Gameboy Advance, DS, DS Lite and the Dreamcast. Planning on getting more retro systems.

I'm from Ontario, Canada.

Hey looks like i neglected to do this when i registered, oops

I play a lot of old school games. When i was growing up, i was to damn poor for anything but a hand me down NES. Since then, ive collected just about every "basic" system there is, earliest being the nes.

I found this site when a kid down the road was moving and said he had a "sega" for 5 bucks. i figured it was a genesis. nope, was a working sega saturn with virtua cop, virtual fighter, etc. what a steal. i typed in "best sega saturn games of all time" to see what popped up. and here i was. I was extremely psyched to finally rediscover panzer dragoon-a game i played on display on wal-mart quite a bit as a kid but never knew the name of. I had been searching for years to figure it out to no avail.

so anyways, i wont post too often but i read everyday. glad to be part of the community.

Hello to all, I'm a sega/nintendo game collector that was lured by the articles of course. For now I am mainly enthusiastic about my sega consoles but getting a snes/nes would solve that. I mainly lurk and read rather than post.

It's nice to see newcomers that came here for the articles and not the trade threads. Welcome all!

Also, 1000th post in this thread
