That's a lot of Dreamcasts

Posted by Joel on 06.30.06 @ 7:41 AM File Under: MISC

Bill has now received his fifth Sega Dreamcast.

He claims that his third one (bought for parts) smells bad. The second one was pink. The pink one had some sort of mechanical error, so there's reason for number three. The smelly Dreamcast had its GD-ROM drive transplanted to the pink one (the GD-ROM did not smell bad). The fourth one was given to him by Brian, however it sits still underneath Bill's desk, unopened.

The first one (it was a limited edition Dreamcast, replete with the project manager's picture on the box and a cellphone trinket) was sold after acquiring the pink one.

His new one is also pink. He also has a large number of pink controllers and one pink keyboard (never used).

Smelly Dreamcast is currently encased in ziploc (minus GD-ROM drive).

Bill's Dreamcast wishlist:

- Broadband adapter (preferably in pink)

- Shenmue 3

    Note: the dreamcast that I gave bill is in fact broken, as well. Bad lens, methinks.


    That man has more spare parts than could ever be considered reasonable. I fully expect him to assemble a dreamcast-powered army of robotic VMU's with which he will lay waste to western civilization.

    Oh yeah, I forgot about Bill's miniature Dreamcast, perfectly sized for Barbie and Ken, complete with controllers, VMUs, and Space Channel 5 game.

    You reminded me that I wish I had a broadband adapter for my dreamcast.


    Thanks a lot :mad:

    I just got my first Dreamcast a month ago as my ex-roommate was about to throw it out. Seriously the best console ever.

    Hah! Now we know a bit more about what drives OmniDudes and OmniDudettes. Shenmue? ... That sounds an awful lot like “spirit woodears fungus” in Chinese!!!

    High octane coffee and rare magic mushrooms ... no wonder they come up with such magical software! :D

    I'm still on my first Dreamcast, which I got on launch night 9/9/99 12:05am.


    “Seriously the best console ever.”


    Indeed.
