Happenstance Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Apart from a couple of cracked cases I'd say all these games are in pretty good condition which is a surprise given how easily game cases used to break back in this gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh don't get me started on those jewel cases... Ditching them was the best thing about the 6th gen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. The Saturn boxes were garbage until they changed to a plastic covering and sleeve, Nintendo stuck with their shoddy cardboard boxes for the N64 and Sony decided to have cheap plastic cases that got scratched and cracked at the slightest touch. The Dreamcast boxes were probably the worst, though. They had the awful durability for the PSOne cases but also had the stupid little disc holder spindle things that broke quite easily. When you bought a sealed game and heard the rattling inside you knew exactly what had happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all you need to know. Must be jarring for you playing that after playing No Mercy. They play so differently and Smackdown is a hell of a lot faster.

Oh yeah, after Wrestlemania 2000, Smackdown 2 is probably my most played wrestling game ever. Just having trouble using finishers standing up at the moment. I can get the lying down ones to work but not having any luck with face to face ones :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekunando Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Haha.. I love this thread I still say 'CHICKEN', @Hero-of-Time I think I'll join you in playing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 later! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero-of-Time Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Was just looking through Dreamcast stuff on ebay during my lunch break and came across this. Limited Edition Console Very pricey! It's that time of year again when i've gotten the Dreamcast bug and i'm wanting to pull the trigger and buy one. I go through this every year.

Happenstance Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I might try and up my Dreamcast collection at some point. At the moment I only have Shenmue 1+2, Sonic Adventure and MDK2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that difficult to gather up an excellent selection of games and controllers for a reasonable price (at least, it wasn't when I picked up my Dreamcast) but I was lucky enough to get both Shenmue games for a relatively low amount back then too. It's a console well worth owning Anyway, while I've been thinking about how to arrange my lighting/scope setup, I randomly purchased Point Blank DS out of the blue!

The Shenmue games are still pretty expensive when compared to other games but they have certainly come down in price. You can get them for around £40-50 each these days.

Happenstance Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I was really lucky with mine as well. Think I paid £40 for both on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are screen accurate replicas (they made the helmets/costumes for that Shattered Grid trailer) so they were originally designed for tiny Asian stuntmen. They did take my measurements when I ordered it but as its only a display item I'm not too bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Wow. I just put Tony Hawk's 3 on and didn't recognise Foundry at all. Maybe I didn't play as much of this compared to 2 as I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt play too much as I was just checking discs but I played about an hour of Tony Hawk's 2 earlier and that totally held up so I'm gonna say yes to 3 as well.
