Stay the hell away from the Dreamcast Collection. I was reading on the Steam forum and they say that all four games are greatly broken.

Hrm, I have Space Channel 5 so I'll give it a whirl this weekend and see how it goes.

I bought the Dreamcast games, and also Alpha Protocol. I've only installed Crazy Taxi and Space Channel 5 yet. Both games worked, and recognized my 360 gamepad. However CT doesn't seem to have a widescreen resolution so it's just 4:3 stretched across the screen and when I was driving around corners I noticed that the cars furthest off to the edge of the screen are invisible. The pop in first once they come closer to the centre of the screen. And SC5 didn't run in fullscreen at all, only windowed.

Not game-breaking bugs, but it feels closer to something played through an emulator than legitimate "ports".

Oh well, it only cost 2,50 to satisfy my curiosity about these mythical Dreamcast games.

I owned most of the Sega games on the PS2 collection, but bought pack #4 just for Shining Force II. Though it sounds like the original Shining Force translation is so garbled that it might be better to play the GBA remake.

Anyway, the Humble Indie Bundle had been updated with Frozen Synapse, so head ye over to (www.humblebundle.com) if you don't already have it. It also includes the lovely soundtrack.

Of course, this happens right AFTER I buy it full price, but I certainly don't mind supporting the devs.

I've only tried Sonic and SC5 of the dreamcast bundle. Sonic just didn't seem fun, and either the timing or button recognition is off in SC5. Constant "I FUCKING PRESSED THAT BUTTON" does not a good time make. Or maybe I'm just shit at it.

<s>Anyway, (http://www.humblebundle.com/) new Humble Bundle. Frozen Synapse for free, or FS + Trine, Shadowgrounds, and Shadowgrounds Survivor for > the average ($4.24 right now).</s>

EDIT: Christ, Aerotorn.
