| I'm in the market to buy a dreamcast, principly to play japanese games (Ikaruga, Giga Wing 2, Bakuretsu Muteki Bangaioh) within a PAL environment, however I would if possible like to be open to playing US and European releases also. So, my question is "is this possible realistically", or is it just a pain in the ass. I see a few solutions, please fill me in if I'm missing a few: Buy a Japanese system (hard to find and perhaps expensive), f**k the use of US/Euro games alltogether. may even have some NTSC-PAL problems but in all likelyhood will play the games I want perfectly. Buy a US system, have access to the US releases only. Buy a Euro system, have access to the Euro releases only. With the US or Euro consoles I guess one of these may be of use: DC-IE Import Enabler... or mod-chip... but would they realistically be as compatible/painless as simply getting a Japanese DC? would these perhaps also work on a Japanese DC to provide access to US/Euro games? Cheers. | |||

| Gigawing 2 is stupid! Finished it in 20 minutes. At least the first game had a bunch of levels. | |||

| Yeah, I prefer Gigawing 1 as well. The gameplay just feels tighter. Gigawing 2 does have that cool 4-plane mode though. | |||
