New Dreamcast > Shot Brake Rotors
Threctory | 7:25 PM on 07.13.2008 24 comments


Hooray! My car needs new brake rotors/pads! Anyways, after finding out the bad new about my car, my mother calls and asks me if I know anything about a "SEGA Dreamcart." Some loving/sarcastic comments later, she tells me that she's at a local garage sale, and a lady wants $20 for this strangely named video game system. I ask her what's included, and the condition of the system. The following response blew my mind...

"Oh, there's 5 games, an extra controller, a fishing rod, a memory card, some game guides, and everything is still sealed."

Wait... WHAT!? You buy it now! NOW! After screaming with joy at my mother, I calmed down and asked her to stop by my house with my new toys as soon as possible. This totally makes up for my stupid car.

It turns out that the only game that had been played, was MK:Gold. Time for bad quality cellphone pictures.

Holy hell. Awesome find. Now bury it so the neighbors don't know you have one.

That's sick dude. Sonic Adventure is all you need. But House of the Dead helps.

That is a GREAT find dude! (GIRL?!)

I always scan my paper and local ads on the net as you never know what some people are getting rid of.

Wait I just noticed the strat guide for SC, but I dont see the game... was that included? Thats a hard find.. it took me awhile to find it. Luckily we have a "game exchange" that has everything one needs for collecting etc... I can go in and buy a sega nomad or a virtual boy any time I feel the need to do so, its lovely.

This should make you feel even better. Last week I won Conrad ZImmerman's Dreamcast contest. And the next day the struts on my car went. I decided that it wasn't worth the $1200 to repair. So I now have no car. But I, too, will have my own dreamcast. I wonder if there's some kind of Dreamcast/car curse?

@Dephect - No, unfortunately Soul Calibur wasn't one of the games included.

@Haxan - You could be on to something!

I proudly still own my Dreamcast along with almost every game I ever bought for it, 4 light guns, and 3 or 4 controllers (I forget). Great steal, dude.

Thats awesome.

Sonic adventure is the last good Sonic game IMO. When will they realise that the music, gameplay and storyline combine make a great memoriable game. I regret selling my DC because I had a lightgun with house of the dead 2 and loads of rare games.

*Hits self for selling it*

@Das Inchworm,
Get your vehicle into a shop immediately! It is likely about to breakdown on you!
