Title: Dreamcast $10 Shopping Challenge Post by: bombatomba on June 09, 2021, 11:04:17 AM I don't think this was ever done here before, but if it was maybe we could use a refresher.
The rules are simple. You only have $10/equivalent of your local currency to spend (no tax or other nonsense). You can pick whatever from whatever price category you want AS LONG as you don't bust the $10 price. There isn't anything exotic in here, and this is meant more as a gaming exercise versus a collecting oneWhat would you buy?

Title: Re: Dreamcast $10 Shopping Challenge Post by: Disposed Hero on June 09, 2021, 11:16:37 AM Ha! This is a fun question. Most of these games have been ported/remastered over the years, but I guess if we're talking in the context of the DC era...
Shenmue ($5), Power Stone 2 ($2), Dead or Alive 2 ($2), Dynamite Cop! ($1) Title: Re: Dreamcast $10 Shopping Challenge Post by: Crabmaster2000 on June 10, 2021, 11:27:34 AM I'd probably go something like this:
Crazy Taxi ($5) Power Stone 2 ($2) Dynamite Cop ($1) Capcom vs SNK ($1) Resident Evil 2 ($1) Title: Re: Dreamcast $10 Shopping Challenge Post by: Mr_Stubbes on June 10, 2021, 05:11:08 PM My picks would be:
Jet Set Radio - $5 Sonic Adventure- $3 Grandia II - $1 Resident Evil 2 - $1 Title: Re: Dreamcast $10 Shopping Challenge Post by: MetalFRO on June 21, 2021, 08:02:37 PM Soul Calibur - $5
Chu Chu Rocket - $3 Grandia II - $1 Resident Evil 2 - $1 It's a bit hard, because my instinct is to go with stuff I might like, but also think about replay value, and getting the most for my money. Challenging! Title: Re: Dreamcast $10 Shopping Challenge Post by: bickman2k on June 21, 2021, 09:27:28 PM Crazy Taxi - $5
Marvel vs Capcom - $3 Capcom vs SNK - $1 Grandia II - $1 I've never played Grandia II. Worth giving it a shot? Title: Re: Dreamcast $10 Shopping Challenge Post by: bombatomba on June 22, 2021, 07:54:16 PM I've never played Grandia II. Worth giving it a shot? If you like RPGs in general, then yes. General consensus is that it isn't as good as the first but is still a worthy RPG. Title: Re: Dreamcast $10 Shopping Challenge Post by: WhyNotZoidberg on August 23, 2021, 08:43:12 AM There are plenty of good budget titles in this list, so I would go like this:
Jet Grind Radio - $5 Dead or Alive 2 - $2 Grandia II - $1 Resident Evil 2 - $1 Dynamite Cop - $1 Didn't pick the best of every genre, but I get good variety. Title: Re: Dreamcast $10 Shopping Challenge Post by: AdamL on July 29, 2023, 10:19:56 PM Were these games actually selling for these prices back in 2021? $4 for Skies of Arcadia is a crazy good deal - I definitely missed the boat on collecting for Dreamcast back when games were still cheap. :(
Anyway, I'd probably choose Skies of Arcadia - $4 Resident Evil 2 - $1 Grandia II - $1 Dynamite Cop - $1 Power Stone 2 - $2 Capcom Vs SNK - $1 Feel like that would be the best bang for my buck - Resident Evil 2 because I'm a big survival horror fan and already own Code Veronica (and I still haven't had the chance to play RE2 yet, unless the Game.com version counts). Skies of Arcadia because I can't pass that one up for $4. Grandia II looks like one of the best RPGs for the system and I already have the case but no game disc. Dynamite Cop and Power Stone 2 are both great party games and for $1 and $2 can't pass them up. And Capcom Vs SNK just because I had an extra dollar left over in my budget so might as well take it even though I'm not really a fan of most fighting games. |
