Hi,

Ok, well first of all yeah xranger is correct it would cost you nothing extra...great init :)

Secondly...dreamkey...well you will need a browser to enter dial-up details which cannot be done with earlier Dreamkey versions, you can however pretty much use any other Dreamcast browser known to man (Dreampassport, Planetweb, XDP) or simply contact sega europe and request a free copy of Dreamkey 3.0....yeah sega europe send out free copies even now....I love Sega :)

Cheers, Craig

Wow I didn't know they still send out copies of Dreamkey. Back in the day there was some controversy but it seemed like people liked dreamkey better than PlanetWeb browser. Any thoughts?

You do know which games are still online don't you?

Quake 3 Arena (US NTSC version only)
Phantasy Star Online V1&2 (PAL European version only)
Starlancer
4x4 Evolution (only realeased in the USA)
Maximum Pool (only realsed in the USA) - Needs patched save file to access servers
Sega Swirl

The US NTSC version of Phantasy Star Online (PSO) is playable online via hacks/cheats but is officially offline, whilst the European version is still online and fully supported by Sonic Team :)

well whats the deal with DC online? is it expensive to play suchas Netlink? probably not over Telephone lines anymore right? because if it isnt, perhaps ill get the adapters and whatevers necessary, break out my bros old DC and see if i can get going with it!

(and if its cheap maybe we can get segadreamcaster in on some online action for once...)
