i remember wanting a DC pretty quickly after i bought an N64 BITD.
parent's dragged me to Nebraska Furniture Mart for some reason, so i wandered into the games section.
lo and behold, they were demoing Power Stone 1 on Dreamcast and Donald Duck Going Quackers on N64, i think.
I was sold.
but sadly, it was not to be, parents were still in control of my money, and they decided "one game system is enough" yadda yadda....
fast forward a year or so, 8th grade.
classmate starts talking shit on the Dreamcast, how he regrets buying it, since they just announced that it's being discontinued.
i offer to buy it from him, system, 4 controllers, and 5 games.
he then starts talking it up, how all the games are great and how hard it is to find one, he even goes so far as to tell me they only made 1,000 of them.
bottom line - he wants more than the games were worth new, and i tell him to eat a dick.
fast forward about 4 years, I've just got my license.
made a new friend via another friend, and i go over to his place.
we start playing games, and i notice a dreamcast half buried in junk in the corner of his room.
"Dude, we should play that! what games you got?"
"not many, Sonic 1&2, Crazy Taxi, Virtua Fighter."
"aw man, i love the sonics on this thing, wish i had one."
"want it? $15 and it's all yours."
so i hopped on that shit.
this happened around the same time that eb games got bought by gamestop, and was consequentially getting rid of DC games.
so i popped into a local EB, and found quite the set of gems:
MvC 1, Crazy Taxi 2, Jet Grind Radio, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Power Stone 1&2 = total, ~$30.
Jet Grind Radio is still one of my favorite games ever, i once beat it 3 times in 2 days so i could unlock everything.
