uh...hello!, it's been like 3 years since the last time I've been here, hehe, I wonder if anybody remember me. anyway, I came just so everybody can tell me "I told you so!": I used to hate sega and call myself "best antisega member of the forum", haha, I recently got a dreamcast, and now I feel like I deserve some punishement for my previous herecy, hahaha, now I love it, I haven't touched other systems since I got it

now I wish I could get some VMUs...... I'm playing mostly fighting games, arcade games, lots of crazy taxi, but I can't play long games like shenmue or rpgs like skies of arcadia and grandia 2 because I can't save.
by the way, I'm in uruguay, I searched all over the city's stores, pawn shops, local online sites, garage sales, flea markets, a big local fair (is it the right term? uh... a zone of the city whose streets are covered with salesmen offering everything from parrots to pc parts or consoles, hahaha. in spanish it's called "feria", so I translate it to "fair"), and I couldn't find a single VMU
This is amusing considering that as of 2005 or 2006 you could still find brand new dreamcast stuff on stores, even and ads on magazines...
I checked online and on neighbour countries there are LOTS of stuff avaible, controllers, VMUs, the gun, you name it...... and for ridiculous prices (as in "cheap" ridiculous), maybe a one day ticket to argentina so I can buy controllers and VMUs is worth it......
it's tricky to buy online stuff from other countries and get it to arrive in good conditions.....
I don't have an international credit card so I don't know how I would pay for the stuff and the shipment from the united states or wherever to here.
(and you can't trust the post office.... they either keep or break the stuff)
anyway, I'm playing lots of soul calibur, crazy taxi, space channel 5 and mr driller!!.
hehe, now punish me for my "I hate sega, I'll never get a dreamcast, ps1 is better!" years
ps: I think I feel as exited and happy about it as I was with the nes, I mean, now I get the "it's the last console" or "a games system, not a video player that can play some games" stuff. I still like ps1 and ps2, but my favorite system ever would be the NES, I still play it.... or used to till I got the dreamcast, I feel like "a kid in the 80s hooking up his first nes" again
