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.

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.

Now do SA2!

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

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Very funny.

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

No way! I can’t believe this!!

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.

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

That's Sonic the Hedgehog

Probably spoilers, my bad.

Heck that is an awesome ending screen!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Thanks! I like my Dreamcast a lot.

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Dreamcast is great. Especially if you have a CD burner

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

The physical discs won't last much longer.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Uh…I don’t use CD burners.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Thanks. Yeah, I’m a physical collector.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month 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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

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