rozodru comments on There's a brand new Dreamcast game that's out, called Mute Crimson, and it's free

it's free...wait...weren't all Dreamcast games free? cause I've had my DC since '99 and I can't even recall a time that I actually bought a DC game.

Silly Sega forgot to make effective copy protection for it so it was remarkably easy to just copy a game to a CD with the right software.

I don't feel bad for doing it since I only got the system after they discontinued everything and it was on sale at KB Toys for $25.

When I was a kid I had a disc that had some 100-200 SNES games burned onto it. No idea how we got it... My guess is my dad got it from a friend or something.

I played the shit out of Earth Defense Force, Knights of the Round, and Gundam Wing: Endless Duel with my Dreamcast. Though my mom made me stop playing Gundam Wing because one of the Gundam was called Deathscythe and Satanic Panic was in full swing.

there used to be entire IRC channels set up just for sharing Dreamcast games as you could file share via mIRC. that's where I got all my games. just burned them to a CD-R and that was that.
