Sega Dreamcast collectors?
Lately I've been trying to "up" my Dreamcast collection, trying to get a full US library. I'm curious--Are there any other DC collectors here? Also, are there any noteworthy "collectible" items I may not know of?
So far I only *really* know of the Sonic Adventure "Limited Edition", aka, the Hollywood Video pre-release version fo the game. Not to mention, a supposed different cover release of Speed Devils.
Can anyone else relate with Dreamcst collecting? Can anyone else confirm other variations possibly not listed in the collection tool here?
Post your commentsa and feedback here!

Nope. That's a printing error, not a variant.

Great info you shared there...
I probably won't be going for every little minor variant, but we'll see. I'll be focusing on a complete library at first, including the All-Stars releases, then I'll see where I want to go from there.
The collection tool is missing a couple of things though, like the All-Stars version of WSB2k1. And it lists a ton of unreleased titles that should probably be taken out.

Even with the 'minor' variants, you're looking at 7 Hot!New! games (4 stickers, 3 printed manuals), 8 NFS games, and 7 (with the potential for two more) general variants. That's not much at all. and only 2 games less than all the SAS games w/ additional variants.
Also, ChuChu "standard resolution" doesn't have a Y-fold. It has seams around the edges with a fold-over flap on the back. I have two copies of it sealed exactly the same way and I'm certain they're legit.

And here's my copy of Monaco Grand Prix. It has the . between the numbers. Same as Fighting Force 2, It's Factory Sealed with Y-Folds.

Never noticed these guys. Adding more to my road to completion.
Thanks for the info guys.

The . version of Monaco GP is the first release. I'd expect a huge majority of the copies to look like that. I've had little luck getting rear images of copies to see if we've got a corrected rear (printed) insert of late.

Did this game ever actually come out? If so, is it just really difficult to find? I did a search for it on Ebay, and I came up with nothing.
EDIT - Same question about Half-Life. Are there actually copies of that floating around somewhere?
Variants are on the second tab.

Nope, no B&W unfortunately. There are a *lot* of unreleased Dreamcast games on the collectors tool, so if you're not too familiar with the system it is going to get confusing.
OK cool. Thanks for the replies guys. That helps to clarify things quite a bit.
I was a big fan of the Dreamcast when it was first released, buying games for it left and right, and I even picked up a few imports when they were first released, like The European version of Shenmue II, Border Down, Ikaruga, Zero Gunner 2, etc...
Then, of course, the Dreamcast died, and I moved on to the PS2 era...
When I found this site, I saw the complete list of Dreamcast games, and thought it would be a cool idea to set a goal to get a complete Dreamcast collection. However, I hadn't been reading up on Dreamcast news, so I really did a double take when I saw Half-Life 2 and Black and White on the list. I was thinking, did I miss something in the last several years? lol.

I tried checking out your list, but I guess I had to ask permission to acess the list. So, if you get a cooltobeyou asking to check it out, that would be me. That list sounds like it would be helpful

Sorry about that. Everyone can access the list now
Cool. Thanks. I'll definitely check it out!
In Johnny's list there are 247 games when the Collection tool has 256. Above, Austin said:

Is this still true or has the collection tool been updated since then? Is Johnnys list or the Collection Tool list the go to guide. Wikipedia and Price Charting also list a lot of other games, even more than the Collection Tool. I just want to know what I should be going by.
edit: Ok, in the Collection tool, it has the 5 GOAT Store games. Are these needed for a set? I noticed them because Price Charting doesnt track them.
If you are after after life cycle games as well as official release then you will need to consult a few different lists as none of them have all the DC tiles avail.
(Just a note on the variant tab :I am not sure all the variants are listed, some new ones may have been discovered)
The three Bleem titles.
The three web browsers.
Sonic Adventure (LE variant)
Marvel vs. Capcom (All-Stars variant)
Toy Fighter (WTF is this?!)
Take those out and you have 247.
And there are quite a few variants missing.
The three web browsers. - I don't know what to call these other than licensed. They're not unlicensed, demos, or anything else really
Sonic Adventure (LE variant) - Wouldn't Sonic Adventure be a variant of this. If everyone wants it to be a variant though, that could happen easily.
Marvel vs. Capcom (All-Stars variant) - Either I missed reporting this to Dain or he missed deleting it. Oops
Toy Fighter (WTF is this?!) - Looks like I missed one of the unreleased titles. Oops again. This one's gone.
Im pretty excited about this collection, hopefully it will be fun as I think it will be. (I just hate the look of stacks of CD cases versus carts, lol)
