Dreamcast to Xbox Live and PSN!

Post by trufun202 »

Hot damn! Sega will be releasing Dreamcast games via Xbox Live and PSN.

Honestly, I'd rather just play the original games on my Dreamcast. But, it's nice to see that others can be introduced to the awesomeness of DC, who otherwise might not have the opportunity.

That's great! Too bad I don't have a next gen console. Hopefully, PSO will get a port, so many others can see what a great MMORPG it was.

Ah, I remember playing PSO on dial up. Good times, good times.

Boy, *dip spits* we dont take a likin' to yur kind 'round these parts.

Just kidding dude :lol: . But seriously, you need to get a DC (or two haha). Sonic Adventure 2, Phantasy Star Online and Draconus were the games I remember vividly loving to play.

Lol you do realise it is in fact available on PC with private servers. From what I've read, they may even have a dreamcast private server set up.

Yeah, I know that there are private servers for PSO BUT:
1.)I don't have a job, so no job == no money == no PC PSO (which would be AWESOME :mrgreen: ).
2.) I would like to get on a private server with my DC, but alas, I don't have a BBA.
I would need to get an old PC (Win98/Win95/WinME) to get a PC-DC server up to run a broadband connection to my DC with a modem.

You don't need a BBA to play on the private servers with your Dreamcast. With a bit of Googling, you could find a free dial-up ISP somewhere (Peter used to use that for about a year, it worked fine).

OH AND

THE SECOND COMING IS UPON US! THE DREAMCAST WILL NEVER DIE!

Just don't forget dial-up's most infamous attribute.. tying up your phone line. :|

Not a problem. Once PSO sucks you in, you won't want to waste your time talking to people anyway.
