I picked up a Broadband Adapter for my Sega Dreamcast. Lets connect it up, get it online and see if can still play games and surf the internet in 2022

Best console ever

Oddly enough, I saw a broadband adapter at my local vintage game store this past weekend.

How much was it? They go for $100 plus don't they?

I want to say $140 or $150.

Just texted my buddy. $159.00. No disc.

Absolutely crazy... And I bet those adaptors were dumped fire sale style at the end of the Dreamcast's life for like $20.

Then again, they probably didn't make all that many in the first place.

Browsing ebay, I think his price is fair but you'd have to be crazy to purchase it. lol

I can remember playing crazy taxi and shenmue on the Dreamcast and it was such fun. Simpler times.

Still dreaming of the Dreamcast :]

Love my DC thing was amazing at the time.

Really wish I had this thing back in the day. Trying to play NFL2k1 on my dad’s work dialup account was never that great…PSO was awesome though

The broadband adapter has been worth a lot of money for decades. I remember going to Funcoland and a rude employee was bragging having one stored away for himself behind the counter.

I think the only way to get one was to buy it from Sega directly. (At least that's how I remember getting mine.)

Opening up a fresh in box Sega Dreamcast built in 2000! Sega released the system over two decades ago and for whatever reason this felt like the right time to unbox one, set it up, and play some games. IT'S THINKING.

The Dreamcast shits and pisses and shits again for good measure over every console ever made. And that's a fact.

I've been messing around with PSO in the Ultima and Ephinea servers lately. Game is still great.
