Anyone think the Dreamcast is over-rated now?

Yes i think its a very overrated console, most of its games were ported to other consoles now with better performance. There are view exclusive games left who werent successfull enough like shenmu1 or D2, and a couple of definitive console versions from ps1 like dino crisis who speak for owning this console.

I also dislike how the dreamcast requires a very very expensive vga box to get the best videoquality from your dreamcast on a PC monitor instead just using component cables who could be used on any hdtv. This device costs you 100€.

VGA boxes being expensive back in the day or today?

Because you do not really need a VGA box unless you cant be bothered to change the cable for the handful of games that dont support VGA.
I just use a normal VGA cable for less than $20. And the image is amazing on my crappy 2003 PC monitor (fuck LCD) which is completely dirty and was in our garage for at least 7 years.


This is how it looks on my monitor.
Without jpeg compression and in person this looks even more amazing especially in motion.

Be sure to view in seperate window to see the actual image quality (taken with my camera)
