Heck that is an awesome ending screen!

Thanks! I like my Dreamcast a lot.

Dreamcast is great. Especially if you have a CD burner

I'd consider an optical drive emulator like GDEMU so you can store your entire collection on an SD card. This ensures your physical collection lasts longer and loading times are shorter as well.

Uh…I don’t use CD burners.

Might be worth looking into an external, unless you are a physical collector. You do you friend

Thanks. Yeah, I’m a physical collector.

I dig it. My only other advice, is you could use backups to keep your originals in good condition, but I'm not sure if CD-Rs are more rough on the laser

If you ever have the opportunity, I would be interested in seeing your collection

I miss mine so much, my dimwit brother threw it away like 2 decades ago along with our Megadrive, and I occasionally remember that and get sad all over again

Now do SA2!

Edit: or what 12 year old me did after winning and play the music from the sound test menu.

The lighting is all over the place but it is nostalgic. Like we got the sun in the background and shadows cast from the foreground.

Close my eyes and feel it burn
Now I see what I've gotta do
Open your heart, it's gonna be alright

This game has just a few too many issues (low difficulty, an opaque story, iffy cameras and some of the worst voice acting you'll ever hear) to be considered great anymore, but it still holds plenty of charm for those who are willing to look for it.

I agree, and I absolutely love Sonic Adventure. I think I've beaten it more times than any other game I own, but the gameplay hasn't really aged well. It's probably my biggest nostalgia soft spot, though.
