Heck that is an awesome ending screen!

[–] VanHalbgott@lemmy.autism.place 13 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Thanks! I like my Dreamcast a lot.

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Dreamcast is great. Especially if you have a CD burner

[–] Nilz@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'd consider an optical drive emulator like GDEMU so you can store your entire collection on an SD card. This ensures your physical collection lasts longer and loading times are shorter as well.

[–] LowtierComputer@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

The physical discs won't last much longer.

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Much better idea, I don't guess I was aware of it

[–] VanHalbgott@lemmy.autism.place 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Uh…I don’t use CD burners.

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Might be worth looking into an external, unless you are a physical collector. You do you friend

[–] VanHalbgott@lemmy.autism.place 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thanks. Yeah, I’m a physical collector.

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I dig it. My only other advice, is you could use backups to keep your originals in good condition, but I'm not sure if CD-Rs are more rough on the laser

If you ever have the opportunity, I would be interested in seeing your collection

In general. I enjoy all retro gaming stuff

[–] VanHalbgott@lemmy.autism.place 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Dreamcast, Saturn, 2600, Genesis, Nintendo 64, PlayStation 1, Odyssey^2^, Xbox, SNES, and NES. I own a lot of systems.

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Hell yeah. I look forward to seeing more of your posts

I miss mine so much, my dimwit brother threw it away like 2 decades ago along with our Megadrive, and I occasionally remember that and get sad all over again

The lighting is all over the place but it is nostalgic. Like we got the sun in the background and shadows cast from the foreground.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Now do SA2!

Edit: or what 12 year old me did after winning and play the music from the sound test menu.

Close my eyes and feel it burn
Now I see what I've gotta do
Open your heart, it's gonna be alright

[–] GuyDudeman@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I don't know what I'm looking at here, as I have never finished this game.

Probably spoilers, my bad.

[–] machinaeZER0@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

That's Sonic the Hedgehog

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wow, how did you get graphics like that out of an Atari 2600?

[–] lolola@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Get a load of this!! Get a load of this!!

[–] MisterMoo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

No way! I can’t believe this!!

[–] MisterMoo@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This game has just a few too many issues (low difficulty, an opaque story, iffy cameras and some of the worst voice acting you'll ever hear) to be considered great anymore, but it still holds plenty of charm for those who are willing to look for it.

[–] tuckerm@supermeter.social 1 points 6 days ago

I agree, and I absolutely love Sonic Adventure. I think I've beaten it more times than any other game I own, but the gameplay hasn't really aged well. It's probably my biggest nostalgia soft spot, though.
