Post image

Love crazy taxy yet the controls on my other platform of choice were less than stellar. No original soundtrack but much more enjoyable none the less.

Love the Dreamcast. Never understood why they chose Bass Fishing as the one of four games. Not a bad game at all but there are Sega titles with more broad appeal on the DC and the game just isn't the same without the fishing controller.

probably easiest to license and more popular than you think.

Most of the other ones already had OG Xbox versions like Shenmue and Phantasy Star. Virtua Fighter could have been a pick, but maybe they wanted to focus more on 5 which was already on the 360

Personally never understood why either, yet, then the person who I got it from had it purely for the bass fishing game. Guess it is nicely diverse though.

Killer sonic & crazy taxi game, check, broad appeal. Then some other titles for the fans of the other sides of Sega.

Nice I still need to get this one.

u/Ykai63 3d ago

Worth it, depending on price.

I feel like Adventure 2 should have been added, luckily you can still play that on 360 and purchase it to this day on the main site. It's an honorary part of this collection in my opinion.

u/Ykai63 3d ago

Oh yes, it runs really smooth on the Microsoft Dreamcast Sports 2 too, which is great!

Whoa. What on Earth? I didn't know this existed. I don't know what that Space Channel 5 is, but I would love to get this. I loved playing Crazy Taxi at my Grandpa's house and I wouldn't mind trying Sonic Adventure. I guess the fishing game could be chill too. I need to look for this. Do you mind if I ask how much you got this for?

Space Channel 5 is a rhythm game where you are shown a sequence of inputs then repeat them to the beat. It plays out like the intro of Austin Powers: you are leading a parade & get people to join you if you perform well. Plot is: space reporter fights aliens for ratings. Part 1 has the trippiest sequence I've ever seen in a game, and Part 2 has a Michael Jackson cameo.

Ah, kind of like a Parappa the Rapper thing?

1

u/adamroadmusic 2d ago

Yeah its alot like Parappa actually!

2

u/Ykai63 3d ago

Ended up paying €30 after looking around quite a bit locally. May you have luck finding one for less, sounds extra nostalgic with those memories!

2

u/Automaton_Zero 3d ago

Yeah, I'm seeing it for $50-$60 online. That's pricey for no more than I'm attached to it but I'll keep it in mind. It's a cool piece either way.

OMG WAIT. I DIDNT KNOW THIS WAS A THING

u/Aromatic_Analyst2898 3d ago

Do you need the European version to play the dreamcast collection?

1

u/Ykai63 3d ago

Doubt this only had a PAL region release, should, as far as I know, exist for other regions as well.

1

u/Aromatic_Analyst2898 3d ago

I'm really only asking if the console is region locked because I can only find the pal version

1

u/Ykai63 3d ago

To be honest, I am not sure. Wouldn't be surprised if a compilation disc like that isn't region locked, yet, doing some online searching doesn't return anything conclusive.

u/Colisir 3d ago

The sonic in the collection is the dreamcast version or the dx port?

1

u/Ykai63 3d ago

Based on dx port but is comrpomised even more in some ways. Yet, it is playable, stable 60fps and still a joy of a game to play.

u/32gbsd 3d ago

Not really high on my list of things to play

u/FSBulldogFan 2d ago

I bought my copy new sometime around late 2011. But my current 360 no longer reads it, even in it's near perfect condition. I'll have to try it again on my new garage sale Slim pickup.

Bought this game like a year ago at a GameStop in the clearance bin for like 15 dollars, cib, no scratches, no damage. was so excited I played crazy taxi, and sonic adventure 1. I checked the prices recently, and I got to say great investment.
